Lets create a limerick

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Saw Shoppers take flight

[Tony.London Suburbs]

So nobody goes there no more...

[citizenED]

When some bands did a gig at the club...

[SteveT]

The audience could not give a rub

[EDOldie]

It was strangely perverse

[ratty]

That the opening verse,

[georgia]

Said leave here and go down the pub

[SteveT]

Barry George was released from the nick

[citizenED]

The police stitch up had been a con-trick

[SteveT]

Barry George did nine years

[ratty]

Then collapsed down in tears

[EDOldie]

God did he feel sick

[SteveT]

Politicians think the economy is all real estate

[citizenED]

and to get too many syllables in one line of a limerick is your fate...

(Steve T, thank your lucky stars that neither Tillie or Asset are on Limerick watch. They'd be real trouble.)

[Jah Lush]

they'll be back though

and just you wait

[SteveT]

This has made me scratch my pate

[TillieTrotter]

I'm Tillie and I'm keeping an eye

[citizenED]

a steep learning curve is your fate

[ratty]

It's all gone to pot on the forum.....

[citizenED]

Tillie, since when has eye rhymed with pate?

[TillieTrotter]

erm, sorry Ed, I thought Jah had put in two lines and that pate was the finishing word as it rhymed with estate!!. That was a very shoddy show it must be said. Now guys the rhythmn is roughly 7,8, 5, 5, 7. Please pay attention.

It's all gone to pot on the forum.....

Posters are lacking decorum

[Moos]

Little rhyme and less metre

[TillieTrotter]

and I feel like their teacher

[karter]

and admin is still the preacher
