When I was out shopping
my veggies were always dropping

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..

A new first line...

An adventurous young bloke from Bondi

 

[Ladyjay]

Had a problem with his eye

 

[Pommyoz]

He washed it out
and gave a shout
and smiled at the ladies and said Hi!

Hi everyone! We'd love to have a go at writing a limerick as a group 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.

With a swing and a fly
He let out a cry
Oh! hell no more branches,I see.

What the first line bronco? But we are into writing one line at a time in turn where possible...

 

[Vinylted]

Do all lifesavers wear budgie smugglers?

next line please, copy the line above paste and then add your line...

 

[SilverPinkDragon01]

Do all lifesavers wear budgie smugglers?
Or do they swim in the nude?

Hi Silver, the second line must rhyme with the first... what you wrote might make a good third line... excuse my sticking my oar in... now the next line should rhyme with nude..

 

[Vinylted]

Do all lifesavers wear budgie smugglers?
Maybe they are girlie attracting bunglers;
Or do they swim in the nude?

 

[Ladyjay]

Wacky dacky doo
Someone just went Boo

 

[Pommyoz]

gosh, that would be crude
we would be seeing their ugglers!

 

[SilverPinkDragon01]

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
