Not to worry Ali, it's not that easy to write a good limerick, but I did like yours.

It may not follow the rules,
As entertainment , it compares to beautiful jewels.

Yeah, I know, it's a good thing my career (and team mates) didn't depend on my sense poetry.

To post in the thread didn't dally.
In her haste and her speed
the rules didn't read.
She's really a bit of a scally.

scally: abbr. for scallywag - one who is playfully mischievous

I love it, thanks Barry

..... limerick structure this time (I hope I don't have to explain that one).

Looks a though you might have to

Moderators - can you move the AlanH and MacMillan limerics to the limericks thread? That would be nice.

OK I have moved all the limericks to one thread to be found here:

http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/x...x.html?t=47332

To get all the limericks together with the introduction/ instructions at the top I had to create a new thread

My apologies for any inconvenienece to anyone

For me this is the top limerick because:
1/ It rhymes perfectly
2/ It scans perfectly
3/ It's multicultural
4/ It doesn't offend muslims (or anyone else)
5/ It's non gender specific
6/ It's easy to remember
and finally
7/ It is sufficiently DUM, sorry dumb to be taught as English in our schools!

Hurrah for fluter
