The Limerick Thread

[higherlevel4u]

I feel the need for some smiles .... so let's write Limericks! I think a line per post may be the norm, and if you finish one off, you can always start another, or leave it for the next poster .... but if you feel you want to write the first two lines to set the scene and let someone else finish it off (or even yourself, if nobody else does ...), or even go the whole hog and write the complete thing, feel free!!

Okay, not many rules, but a classic Limerick is always 5 lines, with 2 longish lines to set the scene, followed by two shorts and a longer one to finish it off ....

e.g.

There was a young girl from Cape Cod,
Who thought babies came only from God.
T'wasn't the Almighty
Who lifted her nightie.
T'was Roger the Lodger by god!

Okay, I know they're a bit tacky at times, but they can often raise a smile or giggle, so I think it could be fun, and at least work the grey matter a bit as well ....

So, shall I start? Here's the first two lines .... be creative, people!!



There once was a old guy from Peckham
Who liked to bend it like Beckham ....

Okay, I can't wait .....



There once was a old guy from Peckham
Who liked to bend it like Beckham
But he bent it too far
While sat in a bar



Come on, somebody finish it off before I do!!
