    Hostly Note:

    I'm going to close this thread for a few hours until I can find out what is actually going on here! For it came to pass that I'm rather confused at the moment. - Getting advice backstage.

    Meanwhile, please be nice and play outside. If it's raining, please get your wellies and a brolly. Or stay in the house and play a card game.

    We will be back soon. Many thanks for your patience.

    Hostly note no 2:

    Thank you, everybody, for your patience.
    This fast-flowing thread had become a bit confusing, due to cross-posting and page breaks.

    Let's please try the following:
    • Before you post, please refresh the page you are on. Are you on the last page?
    • When you write your draft, or post, check that you haven't missed the foot of the page: Is your post still on the same page, or has it moved to the next one? (The page numbers are in little boxes at the top and bottom of every page.)
    • Especially when you get to a new page, let's quote or copy the lines that have gone before; you can copy text directly from a post by pressing on part of it and highlighting it, then pasting it into your post.
    • If somebody has posted a few moments before you with the same rhyme/in the same position, you have two choices: either a) you have have 6 minutes to edit your post, and come up with a suitably clever follow-up post; or b) you can delete your line; but then you need to leave at least a single character (people often use . ); or you could also write something like: (deleted)
    • At the end of each Limerick, please post a clear visual sign, so that people know it ist the last line. Suggestion: see this here:
      or a similar thing. You get this wobbly line by using 5 times the minus (or hyphen) sign on your keyboard, i.e. - - - - - without spaces.

    I hope this will make the game easier to follow, but still fun to play!

    Thank you to everyone, especially my friendly fellow Circus Hosts, for their helpful suggestions. :)

    Okay, let's finish this...

    A happy young woman from Maine
    Read the biblical story of Cain
    When it came to the bit
    Where his bro takes a hit
    "Oh, yes!" was her lusty refrain.
