One of our regular limerick writers Papaoscar has suggested we use Animal, Vegetable and Mineral in our next set of limericks, based on the old radio show of the 1950s.

So are you about MiniMouse or another of our stalwarts to kick the show off?

(Hello Nankate I'm here, but not sure about the grey cells at this time of night!)

MiniMouse Sat 29-Nov-14 00:03:34

(Oh well, here goes!)

The cauliflower danced with the cheese

NanKate Sat 29-Nov-14 07:41:45

The carrots also looked pleased.

(Thanks Mini for getting the 4th show on the road)

The donkey ate three

NanKate Sat 29-Nov-14 18:11:38

The horse had a wee.

MiniMouse Sat 29-Nov-14 18:31:16

And the brown cow just stood there and wheezed.

The diamonds are sparkling so bright.

FarNorth Sat 29-Nov-14 21:03:38

And the pearls are gleaming so white

MiniMouse Sat 29-Nov-14 23:37:47

The cats were dazzled

NanKate Sun 30-Nov-14 07:00:55

The mice felt frazzled.

MiniMouse Sun 30-Nov-14 11:27:09

And the elephant fainted with fright!

(Where's everybody else gone? Did their satnav not reroute them from No 3? Is she doing her/his "recalculating route" thing?)

FarNorth Sun 30-Nov-14 17:12:41

I once tried to make carborundum

papaoscar Sun 30-Nov-14 17:16:59

With some coal, cabbage and bibbendum

(Found you again at last!)

NanKate Sun 30-Nov-14 17:17:04

And the monkey went up on a kite.

( I have put a message on Limerick Writing no. 3 to say we have started a new thread and to come and join us Mini. I wonder if Papaoscar is taking a day off?)

papaoscar Sun 30-Nov-14 19:55:44

(Have we gone off-piste?)

MiniMouse Sun 30-Nov-14 20:01:16

(Hello PapaO glad you found us! Yep, definitely off piste! We need AlieO to keep us on track ��)

MiniMouse Sun 30-Nov-14 20:10:03

The bats joined him at night

NanKate Sun 30-Nov-14 20:19:24

The owl twitter wooed.

(glad you have found us PapaO)

AlieOxon Sun 30-Nov-14 20:37:05

(I just found you, but I'm lost! Is there a limerick here?)

MiniMouse Sun 30-Nov-14 21:22:12

(It's very well hidden AlieO! The Naughty Step's going to be very crowded tonight! Shall we start a new limerick to unmuddle ourselves?)

AlieOxon Sun 30-Nov-14 21:24:27

(Yes? G'night for now though.)

MiniMouse Sun 30-Nov-14 23:19:11

The wise owl fluorite up to the sky

NanKate Mon 01-Dec-14 15:26:42

Mini have you been on the sherry again? hmm

First line - the wise owl flew right up to the sky

Second line - and peered far down to the fat juicy fly

papaoscar Mon 01-Dec-14 16:20:32

Then thought, Stone the crows, he must die!
