This group is a wonderful thing
Each day a laugh it does bring;
If it gets a bit naughty
 
this group is a wonderful thing
each day a laugh it does bring
if it gets a bit naughty
cant see me act haughty
 
This group is a wonderful thing
Each day a laugh it does bring;
If it gets a bit naughty
Can't see me act haughty,
 
As I blush outright and i sing

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 sadly was stung by a bee
 
Remember the fox in the box?
 
remember the fox in the box
who forgot to darn his socks
 
remember the fox in the box
who forgot to darn his socks
Such a silly fellow was he
 
he's now got a hole in his knee
 
Remember the fox in the box
Who forgot to darn his socks;
Such a silly fellow was he
He's now got a hole in his knee,
Wearing socks right up to his hocks!
 
A young lady who dwelt in Fremantle
 
A young lady who dwelt in Fremantle
Her car she tried to dismantle
 
She put it up on blocks
And hopes it doesn’t rock
 
A young lady who dwelt in Fremantle
Her car she tried to dismantle;
She put it up on a block
And hopes it doesn’t rock,
Causing damage that wasn't accidental.
 
Does it hurt when a car hits your head?
 
You're all bandaged up and in bed
 
Does it hurt when a car hits your head?
You're all bandaged up and in bed;
Wondering what happened
 
Does it hurt when a car hits your head?
You're all bandaged up and in bed
Wondering what happened
and why bandages are patterned

There was an old man in a tree...
Who needed to go pee
 
Does it hurt when a car hits your head?
You're all bandaged up and in bed;
Wondering what happened
And why bandages are patterned,
With stains that show you have bled.

New first line someone..
