LIMERICKS 6

So I think I'll take up sky jumping
So fit now from body pumping
Although I'm scared of heights
Let alone the flights
If I do it I shall achieve something!

Or perhaps I should now learn to fly

Or perhaps I should now learn to fly
Before the chance passes you by

Seated one day at my 'puter
I was weary and ill at ease

(Sorry Rufus2, that's not a limerick. But the words are familiar, - The Lost Chord?")

Or perhaps I should now learn to fly
Before the chance passes you by
I'll fly like a bird

Henetha; Sorry about that. I'd forgotten the rules and thought the name of this game was for someone to start off with a line and then others followed, adding further lines. Silly me! You want things like "There was a young lady from Ealing,..." Morecambe and Wise were good at that, when they were allowed. .

Or perhaps I should now learn to fly
Before the chance passes you by
I'll fly like a bird
Like an eagle I've heard

Or perhaps I should now learn to fly
Before the chance passes you by
I'll fly like a bird
Like an eagle I've heard
'fraid I'll land with a bump and a sigh!

And of some way that he could become free.
