    Whenever you're adding a line to a limerick, please check that you haven't missed the start of a new page, as it probably won't make sense.

    Thanks,

    Piglet, Circus host
  • Completely my fault, very sorry JRW & hostly peoples
  • Wesley JWesley J Circus Host
    Thank you, Piglet and thank you, Yam_castle. Who hath eyes to read, and all that. Ahem.

    But now, on Good Friday and in the spirit of forgiveness of sins, of death and resurrection, let's see where we get with this one:

    Once, led like a lamb to the slaughter

    (I must finish this one, feeling pyhonesque.)

    Was the son of God, and not God's daughter.
    For she, I must guess
    at home cleaned the mess
    with mum which dad and son had brought 'er.
  • *groan*

    May you be forgiven...(it being Good Friday and all).

    Which made her head ache
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    And relief was not to be found.

    While walking one day in the hills
  • I found I had run out of pills
  • Wesley JWesley J Circus Host
    In fact, Pils the beer
    nowhere to find here
  • So I had to drink out of the rills.*

    (*the little streams one might find running down hills)

    There was an Old Man of the North
  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host
    Who was never placed higher than fourth
  • PigletPiglet All Saints Host, Circus Host
    His effort, though vast

  • You know, it's a terrible shame,
  • EnochEnoch Shipmate
    But bad poets are easy to blame,

    When they wander like 'clout'
    Pain is in, beauty out
  • And accents are never the same.

    There once was a girl on a yacht,
    Who thought that the captain was hot.
    So she stripped by the sails,
    And rode bareback on whales.
    But he shouted: "Is that all ya got?"

    From one tiny lick
  • EnochEnoch Shipmate
    And so did his friend and her sister.
