Carrying on from 12bliss
A few reminders for new players.
We each add just one line in turn.

He hoped to parade in his mankini
Why did I think of the word weenie?
Perhaps in your mind
Imagination ran wild
I think I’ll settle down with a martini

What a beautiful Spring this has been

What a beautiful Spring this has been
Despite fears of an enemy unseen
Sunshine lifts our spirits
And nature knows no limits

What a beautiful Spring this has been
Despite fears of an enemy unseen
Sunshine lifts our spirits
And nature knows no limits
Covering the land in shades of green

How everything’s grown after all that rain

He hoped to parade in his mankini,
Why did I think of the word weenie?
Perhaps in your mind
Imagination ran wild
And you quick stepped to Henry Mancini!

Caterpillar on my lip
Giving me jip,
Grooming is the last thing on my brain.

Cool and comfy, that's not wrong
Breakfast at eleven
That's what I call heaven

By the way, if you're not sure about the form and rhythm of traditional limericks, just Google it. Some of them are hilarious, some are rude and we all need a laugh!

This is how limerick rhyme / rhythm was taught to me (many years ago!!)

da DUM da da DUM da da DUM
da DUM da da DUM da da DUM
da DUM da da DOO
da DUM da da DOO
da DUM da da DUM da da DUM

This morning, to my great surprise,
Just after I managed to open my eyes
A nice cup of tea

This morning to my great surprise
Just after I managed to open my eyes
A nice cup of tea
And a bacon butty
Best get up now with the sunrise
