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?

Probably my fault. May I start a new one?

There once was a tiger called Nigel (line 1)

Are we lost in the middle of a limerick? Or is it time for a new one? I'm lost somewhere between Christmas and New year, if that's any help.

Whoops - sorry. What went wrong? That line should have gone elsewhere. Perhaps I'd better leave you experts alone.........
