Silver & Pommyoz, reshaped as a limerick form...

When I was out shopping
my veggies were always dropping;
Tried as hard as I may
Those veggies wouldn't stay,
And soon they sent me hopping!

Apologies I took a couple of liberties.. ;)

Hi everyone! We'd love to have a go at writing a limerick as a group :D You'll need to post the next line that will follow the last comment in the thread.

Here are the basic rules:

5 lines

Lines 1, 2 and 5 rhyme.
Lines 3 and 4 rhyme
Distinctive rhythm
Usually funny


Here is an example of a limerick:

There was an old man named Jake,
Who ate only spuds and beefsteak,
He drank, and he smoked,
And told dirty jokes,

And died young at a hundred and eight.

I'll get us started:

There was an old man in a tree...
Who thought he was only 3
With a swing and a fly
He let out a cry
Oh! hell no more branches,I see.
 
Do all lifesavers wear budgie smugglers?
Maybe they are girlie attracting bunglers;
Or do they swim in the nude?

Hope not, I'm a prude.,
And have no wish to see his travellers..
 
Waddle doddle doo
Where are you
I saw a puddle
Then it was a muddle
Oops I cant find you

You have nailed the rhyming scheme of the limerick, but not the form..

Well, it's partly the shape of the thing
That gives the old limerick wing;
These accordian pleats
Full of airy conceits,
Take it up like a kite on a string.

By this time you will have realised I am quite pedantic.. sorry.. VT :oops::LOL:
