Phew!
There was a sneckliftering lass

When someone asked why
She gave out a cry
"I find that newcastle broon ale is too crass!"
BOOM BOOM!!!!!!! (again) :D
Soooooo much better than my effort! :DQuote:

Nothing personal - I just have to go with what rhymes! :D
A sobering tale of Borrowdale and 3 Shires.....
Spying a runner ahead
Whippet followed where ever he led
Got lost in the cloud
Now he's never too proud
To get the map out instead.
I know that Mossdog the athlete
Is never found dragging his feet
He trains chasing cattle
I just know one day that’ll
End up in a frantic retreat
Excellent! :D We've all been there!Quote:

So I followed the chap
And finished in Shap
So he had no clue it transpires
This remarkable poetry thread
Which by hundreds has been read
With many a rhyme
From the daft to sublime
Is the very best thing since sliced bread
That made me laugh. :DQuote:

So I've heard say
He ended up in Kentucky
There's a town near the Lakes that's Kendal,Quote:

we had a today's limerick thread somewhere but it all went a bit wrong!!! Some eventually got the hang of it though while others didn't.....I think the problems arose when we tried to take each line in turn!!
Found it....although it was Merrys poem that had me in stitches....not the winter one although that was funny too!!

I'd forgotten about that. Despite your valiant efforts to keep us all in line it all got well out of hand. :eek: Very funny though. :DQuote:

And was deported by second class mail
Dare we try again?:confused:Quote:

You know I need little encouragement, so I'll carry on! Just need the next victim, sorry, subject.Quote:

I think today, we've had domestic violence, dessicated love unfulfilled, pastoral delights, other stuff i can't remember as well as a flurry of limericks.
What a place this poetry corner is. Just wished that more words rhymed with whippet.
