    Finishing the other one...

    There once was a young musician
    Who never liked breaking tradition
    He'd blow on his trumpet
    While eating a crumpet
    and spray crumbs of aural munition

    <mode=tired, emotional, and thus in snappish mood>Would you stop doing this? Don't start a limerick unless you've finished the last one. If we have more than one on the go at any one time, it just gets confusing. And I don't need to be any more confused than I already am.</mode>

    CJ appears to have finished your one, but I think it's David Franklin's turn to start the next one as he finished the one we were already doing.

    Who loved to wear something frilly,
    Fond of a donut,
    And also chocolut,
    Poor wee girl, she's really quite silly.

    Line 5: 9 syllables
    Pedantic? Moi?

    Oh dear now, when I say that in my best Welsh English, you know, it sounds quite nice. I love it. So musical. Each syll-a-ble so clev-a. You lot have a head start when it come to dancing.


    But; rules are there to be broken,
    And you can take that as a token,
    Of my ordinaryness,
    When under duress,
    I'm just not in the habit of joken.

    Re: Limerick completion game

    A limerick's meant to be funny
    Or witty, outrageous or punny.
    But if the first line
    Has more than just nine,
    You've too many syllables, sonny!

    You're quick boyo, very quick;
    It's enough to make anyone sick.
    Here's jus' hopin',
    I can keep copin';
    Sonny, is not the way to describe this old pr..k.


    And with that, I bid thee a fond farewell in a haze emanating from an alcoholic beverage from another celtic community to the North.
