Continuing from 9

I was tempted to conjure a spell
Leave the house with a horrible smell

Kathleen O'Mailly had at last found her man
And so a torrid relationship began
It was doomed from the start
He was sure to break her heart
Because his love was his Afghan.

Man's best friend is his dog

Man's best friend is his dog
Though personally, ours is our mogg

WOODMOUSE49 Tue 29-Oct-19 20:14:07

Man's best friend is his dog
Though personally, ours is our mogg
My friend dotes on her horse

Juliet27 Tue 29-Oct-19 20:21:02

Man's best friend is his dog
Though personally, ours is our mogg
My friend dotes on her horse
Mainly since her divorce

Oh poor Kathleen, chin up if you can

Then Daniel Maguire came into her life

Oh dear!

Man’s best friend is his dog
Though personally ours is our mogg
My friend dotes on her horse
Mainly since her divorce
And she lives her life in a fog.

The debt collectors are by my door

The debt collectors are by my door
They are knocking loudly so can't ignore

Gemini1789 Tue 29-Oct-19 22:34:26

I let them in
Because of the din
I couldn’t take any more.

Jangran99 Tue 29-Oct-19 22:40:51

Nice Gemini, but we each add a line.The poster who adds the last line starts off the new limerick, so would you like to carry on?wink

Juliet27 Wed 30-Oct-19 06:10:09

Yes, Gemini’s three line addition actually made a perfect limerick rhythm so - looking forward to the next line.

Gemini1789 Wed 30-Oct-19 07:13:37

Oops. Sorry. Let me think ....

She dusted off her pointed hat

Juliet27 Wed 30-Oct-19 08:22:50

She dusted off her pointed hat
And woke her sleepy little cat

Gemini1789 Wed 30-Oct-19 08:28:14

She dusted off her pointed hat
And woke her sleepy little cat
C’mon babe there’s lots to do

Jangran99 Wed 30-Oct-19 08:29:31

She dusted off her pointed hat
And woke her sleepy little cat
Then mounting her broom

Bellanonna Wed 30-Oct-19 08:40:29

I w ont add to this for now but would just say Jangran’s line is in keeping with limerick style. Gemini’s sounds ok but is just an “ordinary” rhyme. As we have two threads entitled Limericks we could use one for rhyming verses and keep one for Limericks. The latter is a specific format as several people have pointed out before. Just an idea and I appreciate it’s just a game!

Gemini1789 Wed 30-Oct-19 09:00:24

Yes. I haven’t got the hang of this yet. But it is making my brain work which is I suppose what it’s all about.

Bellanonna Wed 30-Oct-19 09:01:11

True, Gemini.?

Gemini1789 Wed 30-Oct-19 09:03:25

She dusted off her pointed hat
And woke her sleepy little cat
Then mounting her broom
She left the room
And that was the end of that.
THE END

There was a loud bang in the night

Bellanonna Wed 30-Oct-19 09:06:47

Very nice, Gemini! One line each now...

There was a loud bang in the night
I woke with a terrible fright

Gemini1789 Wed 30-Oct-19 09:09:03

Yay ! I’ve got it ....?

crazyH Wed 30-Oct-19 09:59:10

Gemini, shall I continue ?

There was a loud bang in the night
I woke with a terrible fright
My pots and pans

henetha Wed 30-Oct-19 10:49:28

There was a loud bang in the night
I woke with a terrible fright
My pots and pans
Grew legs and hands

crazyH Wed 30-Oct-19 12:49:56

There was a loud bang in the night
I woke with a terrible fright
My pots and pans
Grew legs and hands
I couldn't wait till morning light.
