One of our regular limerick writers Papaoscar has suggested we use Animal, Vegetable and Mineral in our next set of limericks, based on the old radio show of the 1950s.

So are you about MiniMouse or another of our stalwarts to kick the show off?

The hound then danced like Elve the Pelve.

Whoops - sorry. What went wrong? That line should have gone elsewhere. Perhaps I'd better leave you experts alone.........

Are we lost in the middle of a limerick? Or is it time for a new one? I'm lost somewhere between Christmas and New year, if that's any help.

Probably my fault. May I start a new one?

There once was a tiger called Nigel (line 1)
