Thread: A different limerick game (not copied from Ollie)

Hi,

This game may seem to be a bit hard, so don't be too harsh on the next person. Lenience is the key.

Here's how it goes: I type a limerick and then leave a subject for the next person. The next person writes a limerick on that subject, then leaves a subject for the next person and so on and so on.

So here's my limerick to start things off:

There was a young baker from Chittagong,
Who kept getting his naans and his pittas wrong,
And whilst in a muddle,
Dropped bread in a puddle,
And he'd be so confused for so long.

NEXT TOPIC: cheese

A delicatessen called Utterthwaite,
Decided so wisely to emigrate,
With a handful of Yarg, oh,
Set off for Chicago,
But realised he was banned from that state.

Next topic: matrimony

Love and marriage, the song says, of course
Go together, like carriage and horse
But I don't want to wed
'Cause of something I read:
It's the number one cause of divorce

Next topic: public transport

Do not use a bus, use a car,
'Cos a bus will not take you that far,
If you wish to commute,
On a definite route,
To the buses, you should say 'au revoir!'

Next topic: the seaside

A sneaker wave soaks all it reaches,
My shoes and my socks and my breeches.
Hung them up so they'd dry
But my plans went awry.
Come back with my clothes you sons-a-beaches!

new topic: google

When I turn on f'r an investigation,
There's always a new animation,
F'r a historical event,
So let's have merriment,
As an anniversary celebration.

NEW TOPIC: Laurel and Hardy OR Abbott and Costello

I wonder how long they rehearsed
And how many times the two cursed,
How does it go?
What? I don't know?
All I remember is Who's on First.


New topic: caffeine

A bowl of caffeine at first light,
is the only thing just about right.
Then to get through the day,
I eat Tea-cake, and, say,
several Cola-cubes, covered in Sprite.

New topic: Boots

I went to a chemists called Boots
and shook it right down to its roots
as I made my request
while wearing a vest
just to show I don't give it two hoots

Next topic: Yachts

My new yacht? It is tantamount too
Your entire life savings - pooh pooh.
But for me...no big deal
Cuz' my wealth is unreal
And I'm so much better than you.

New topic: arthritis

On hearing a crunch in my toe
I grew anxious, and started to low.
The neighbours grew scared
At my bleating, and cared
Not a bit that my tootsies hurt so.

Next topic: Underwear

I feel something is terribly wrong
I'm afraid that I won't live too long,
For my body is splitting
And hurts worse when I'm sitting
Oh wait, no! I'm just wearing a thong.

(whew!)

Next topic: watermelon

(haha - like it. Watermelon?! Geez...here goes.)

If ever I fancy a drink
But can find neither taps nor a sink
Then it's time for a sesh
with some bright juicy flesh
If I eat any more I'll turn pink!

Next: Iron Filings

I once drew the most beautiful face
A picture of elegant grace
It was on Magna Doodle,
Lost the whole kit and boodle
The iron filings fell out of the case.

Next: poo flinging monkeys

I was struck by the chimpanzee species
With missiles screaming like banshees
I wiped off my face
And found with distaste
It was plastered in hot stinky feces.

Next: Bacon
