[CLynn]

He had a fresh mouth

 

[scottsma]

and lived in the south

 

[Robert747]

and was partial to a cup of darjeeling

 

[CLynn]

Once a little redhead named Allie

 

[Robert747]

chased boys all around the green valley

 

[CLynn]

One day she caught one!

 

[scottsma]

'twas better than none

 

[Robert747]

She said 'kiss me don't dilly dally'.

 

[scottsma]

Last night while eating my supper

 

[Grumbletum]

I decided I fancied a cuppa

 

[Trysha]

the kettle was boiling

 

[Grumbletum]

But my meal, it was spoiling

 

[scottsma]

so I decided to eat first and have a cuppa later(.Let me know if you can think of a better ending)

 

[Robert747]

Nope - serves you right giving us 'supper' to work with.

 

[scottsma]

Nope - serves you right giving us 'supper' to work with.

Didn't know I was going to get the punch line.thought you might have obliged:lol2:

 

[Robert747]

There was once a girl from Peru
whose limericks stopped on line two

 

[CLynn]

Her mind got all muddled

 

[scottsma]

and so she was cuddled

 

[Grumbletum]

By a very sympathetic gnu.

 

[Trysha]

there once was a kitten called curly

 

[Grumbletum]

Who could only be described as burly

 

[scottsma]

she loved a big dinner

 

[CLynn]

But wished she was thinner

 

[scottsma]

but she hopes that her supper is early

 

[Robert747]

There was a young woman named Bright

 

[CLynn]

She was full of sweetness and light

 

[scottsma]

but she won lots of money

 

[Robert747]

but do you know what was funny?

 

[Grumbletum]

It made her incredibly tight

 

[Robert747]

There was a young man named Wyatt

 

[scottsma]

who didn't have money to buy it

 

[Robert747]

instead he bartered

 

[scottsma]

and then he DARTED

 

[Robert747]

to borrow a kite to fly it

 

[CLynn]

I once knew a girl named Candie

 

[Robert747]

Ha ha ha

 

[CLynn]

Ha Ha Ha what????

 

[Robert747]

thought you were trying to encourage us into a naughty limerick

 

[CLynn]

ME????? (best innocent look)

 

[scottsma]

oh,for goodness sake,stop faffing about, who lost her lovely red sandal

 

[CLynn]

She looked and she looked

 

[scottsma]

but stopped while she cooked

 

[Robert747]

very sad cos it would've been handy

 

[CLynn]

She looked under the table

 

[scottsma]

and in the dogs bed

 

[Grumbletum]

But she wasn't able and scratched her head.

(naughty version)
And there is a fable that she wears her red sandals to bed!!

 

[Robert747]

There was a young student called Gus

 

[scottsma]

who fell when he ran for the bus

 

[Grumbletum]

As he lay there on the ground

 

[scottsma]

a tenner he found

 

[Robert747]

Don't we all wish it was us!

 

[scottsma]

While on the jetty and fishing

 

[Grumbletum]

For a big salmon Johnny was wishing

 

[Robert747]

instead when the line came up

 

[Grumbletum]

He knocked over his cup

 

[Robert747]

and soon the floor he was kissing

 

[Jessi]

While walking my dog on a leash,

 

[Trysha]

In the park on a hot summer's day

 

[Robert747]

In the park on a hot summer's day

Hey Trysha - that does not rhyme with 'leash' - I can see your strategy!

 

[Trysha]

Along came a spider
And sat down beside her

( Ok Robert--- now you finish it!)

 

[Robert747]

Along came a spider
And sat down beside her

( Ok Robert--- now you finish it!)

She screamed the house down
gave an almighty frown
but said spider would not stir

 

[scottsma]

chaos,utter chaos. Have you all gone MAD?????

 

[scottsma]

Today as the sun was ashining

 

[Jessi]

I was amoaning and awhining

 

[CLynn]

I threw little fit...

 

[scottsma]

then donned my gym kit

 

[Trysha]

and started some wining and dining

 

[CLynn]

But the fun was short lived

 

[CLynn]

Well good morning, Robert!

 

[Robert747]

Well good morning, Robert!

Trysha's limericks are better than yours - that's rubbish

 

[Robert747]

But the fun was short lived

But the fun was short lived
As for gold he sieved

 

[CLynn]

What is the matter with you people.....thought this was a one line at a time limerick!

 

[scottsma]

also a limerick consists of FIVE lines only.Some of you are chucking any old rubbish in.If you know who you are shame on you,and if you don't know you're doing it,pull yourself together.

 

[scottsma]

p.s. I'm not playing 'til you sort yourselves ouy

 

[Robert747]

A limerick is a rhyming poem following the AABBA style. I thought it might be fun to see what we can come up with, providing one line per reply. Perhaps the best part of this will be that we get to start a new one every four or five posts. Here's and example of a famous skunk limerick:

There was a young man from the city,
Who saw what he thought was a kitty,
Saying "Nice Little Cat,"
he gave it a pat.
They buried his clothes out of pity.

 

[scottsma]

ok........there was a young lady from utah

 

[CLynn]

Who was always good for a guffaw

 

[scottsma]

she was married to Doug

 

[CLynn]

He wasn't a thug

 

[scottsma]

but if you pushed him he'd show you the door

 

[Robert747]

Brilliant - we are back on track.... hmmmm I did not contribute

 

[Trysha]

and played a good tune on a hooter

 

[CLynn]

Lol!

 

[Grumbletum]

But did some Internet bullying on his computah

 

[Robert747]

When one day

 

[Grumbletum]

You want to say

 

[Robert747]

lets be friends at the bar

I was confused again - I think that is the last line - but I will wait for Scottsma to sort it out

 

[scottsma]

I was confused yesterday so gave it a miss to let you sort it,sowe'll start again eh ? On a warm sunny day at the park

 

[Trysha]

You can hear birds a singing just hark

 

[scottsma]

In the green of the trees

 

[Robert747]

was Scottsma's dog full of fleas

 

[scottsma]

no he's not she said with a loud bark

 

[Trysha]

There once was a teaser called Bob

 

[scottsma]

who sometimes made scottsma asob

 

[Robert747]

He said he was sorry

 

[Grumbletum]

Then jumped in his lorry

 

[Wallath]

but nothing happened when he pressed the starter damm! said he as he........

 

[scottsma]

Then jumped in his lorry

then just carried on with his job

 

[Robert747]

There was a young lady from Russia
