An alternative to flying I think

[Keef]

because fuel emissions stink

[TillieTrotter]

requires some thought

As the last resort

I know, not a limerick, but i loved this contribution from a bored spectator at lords on the Guardian obo (tsk, bloody blackberries eh)

Oh look a streaker. At least that's bloody something

I've been watching these fools bat since 10 in the morning

My beer's getting flat in its clear plastic chalice

While the batsmen block-out and the bowlers lack malice

Last night on the telly they suggested I come

Down to Lords for the 5th day. They said it'd be fun

Well Botham and Boycott can both bloody lump it

Coz of their great advice I'm now down 20 quid

They said there'd be boundaries and wickets and runs

But today all I've seen is some stranger's bare bum

Nice Verse.

Did you know, my fellow limerickers, that apparently, as part of the Dulwich festival, there was a talk about maths and poetry and the links between. I heard that one of the esteemed (and local) talkers quoted the moxons/hoxton/foxtons limerick from this ere forum. Which is equally nice.

So I hummed a playful burlesque

I set up a stall at the Fair
