Have we got time for another?
What, wine? Oh no let me recover
Well maybe a sherry
Gin from a berry
Or a drop of fine malt to discover

The children are tired and fractious

Does your dog try grooming your ear?
Well listen, there's nothing to fear

Yammy Fri 06-Jan-23 14:27:26

He'll give it a lick,
Then offer a stick.

When our government's in some bother
To turn off the TV I would rawther

Somehow, my last line got mixed up with an ad. So, here's our limerick (so far) again, edited so you Brits can feel more at home with it:

To turn off the telly I'd rawther

To turn off the telly I'd rawther
Likewise news of tHeM
Wish we could condemn
Her and the poor little brother

We're all like some moths to a flame

Wish we could condemn
Them to silence please, dear mother.

I wore my red dress to a ball

I wore my red dress to a ball
Hoped at my feet the men would fall

GoldenLady Mon 09-Jan-23 13:34:08

I wore my red dress to a ball
Hoped at my feet the men would fall
But they all were so tipsy

I wore my red dress to a ball
Hoped at my feet the men would fall
But they all were so tipsy,
Noticed not my bitsy

Hoped at my feet the men would fall
But they they were all so tipsy
Noticed not my bitsy
I stood by the edge of the wall.

Sadly it’s a sham

Sadly it’s a sham
But at least I've achieved my aim wink

The price of gin is quite a lot

The price of gin is quite a lot
Should I spend it? No, I should not.

The price of gin is quite a lot
Should I spend it? No, I should not.
Put the kettle on

The price of gin is quite a lot
Should I spend it? No, I should not.
Put the kettle on
Nibble a bourbon

crazyH Tue 10-Jan-23 17:49:03

The price of gin is quite a lot
Should I spend it? No, I should not.
Put the kettle on
Nibble a bourbon
And sip a cup of tea that’s hot.

A custard cream is my first choice

A Nice is quite nice

A Nice is quite nice
Hobnobs are my vice
