Sheer Poetry

[Cleopas]

Well, you've all spotted by now that I love poetry ... and the two and three word storylines are cool too.

But here's an idea. I'll furnish the first TWO lines of a limerick ... and the next person completes it. Then that person does the first two lines of another limerick, which the following person completes, then does the first two lines ... You follow? Let's try it!

If it fails ... fair enough. Just see how your minds work that's all.

There was a yound lad lived in Joppa
Who's dad was a very mean coppah ... (copper!)

Now it's someone else's turn to finish it and start the next one ...

Ok I'll give this a go

There was a young lad lived in Joppa
Who's dad was a very mean coppah ... (copper!)

he got into a fight
and arrested one night
defence? I got punched in the jaw, Pa.


There was a young lady from Leith
Whose skirt was exceedingly brief

[teddygirl]

she met a young lad
who soon became dad
and now they are living in Keith


There once was a furry wee mouse
who lived in a very posh house

There once was a furry wee mouse
who lived in a very posh house
He had a nice wife
The joy of his life
But he was male ... and turned into a louse!
