Limerick writing Mark 4 (animal, vegetable and mineral)

It tasted of lime (line 3)

(Hello NotTooOld and MrsPickle, welcome to our attempts at limericks! Plenty of moments from the rest of us for you to add to )

Who just loved licking the hand gel (line 2)

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.........

I'd like to join in - hope that's ok?

For being a fly

The clown was quite a horseman.

The carrots jumped out of the saucepan

As the hippos rolled out the barrel.

From their seats on a cloud

The bats laughed out loud

Get your skates on and lets have a whirl

Are you lonesome tonight said the squirrel ?

The hound then danced like Elve the Pelve.

To the howl of a hound

By Prince Charming was found

Did dance and prance and finally delve

The silver slipper lost at twelve.

And dressed for the ball there I stood!

And waved the golden fairy wand.

I placed the coin in my hand

Hiding in a corner of my hood

I found a silver sixpence in my pud.

Oh no! The turkey's inside the cat

Then departed in a very large car
