July 21 Limericks

There once was a site called Gransnet
But I am not old enough yet
It’s good for advice
On how to catch mice
Which I did once just for a bet

The good people of Gransnet decided

The good people of Gransnet decided
Harry and Meghan must be strongly derided

The good people of Gransnet decided
Harry and Meghan must be strongly derided
Those lines are too long!

The good people of Gransnet decided
Harry and Meghan must be derided
‘Those lines are too long!’
‘I’m so sorry- if wrong,
I’ll just leave this thread,’ she sigh-ded

Just a reminder that we try to keep to the 88558 syllable rhythm and each do just one line…and the last person starts a new Limerick

So a new Limerick starts here

So a new Limerick starts here,
Excuse me, I'm drinking my beer

So a new Limerick starts here,
Excuse me, I'm drinking my beer
Though I might have wine

So a new Limerick starts here,
Excuse me, I'm drinking my beer
Though I might have wine
And start the next line

So a new Limerick starts here,
Excuse me, I'm drinking my beer
Though I might have wine
And start the next line
But I’ve drunk too much now I fear

I shall start on the Baileys soon

I shall start on the Baileys soon
Though that will be gone before noon

I shall start on the Baileys soon
Though that will be gone before noon
The room is spinning

I shall start on the Baileys soon
Though that will be gone before noon
The room is spinning
Baileys is winning

I shall start on the Baileys soon
Though that will be gone before noon
The room is spinning
Baileys is winning
And soon I'll be over the moon.

Do you think that we'll get any snow?

Do you think that we'll get any snow?
We ask every Christmas, I know

Do you think that we'll get any snow?
We ask every Christmas, I know
A rare event now

Do you think that we'll get any snow?
We ask every Christmas, I know
A rare event now
Who needs a snowplough

Do you think that we'll get any snow?
We ask every Christmas, I know
A rare event now
Who needs a snowplough
I think I'll go sledging, you know.

The Cairngorms would be very nice

The Cairngorms would be very nice
But it’s so easy to slip on the ice

The Cairngorms would be very nice
But it’s so easy to slip on the ice
Ice chains have rusted

The Cairngorms would be very nice
But it’s so easy to slip on the ice
Ice chains have rusted
So can’t be trusted

The Cairngorms would be very nice
But it’s so easy to slip on the ice
Ice chains have rusted
So can’t be trusted
I'll add a new line in a trice

My cat is curled up next to me

My cat is curled up next to me
As happy as felines can be

My cat is curled up next to me
As happy as felines can be
Till she hears the faint rustle

My cat is curled up next to me
As happy as felines can be
Till there’s a rustle
Twitch of a muscle
