Jaysay, hate to be pedantic, but a Limerick has to contain five lines, , bit like this:-

Accy councillor we know who is called Jones,
Lads on here grateful that we have no clones,
He's just doing his best,
Get's things off his chest,
Not part of a set known as Peter's pawns.

[slinky]

There was a good man named John
Who secretly drank in the ossy con
When he was their, he let loose his hair
and treated everyone like a son.

Ok I'm crap at these

Kate I'm am and never have been a poet, and you are being pedantic, but seeing its you i'll let you off, as for your little ditty, you don't get any better with age but its a cracker as certain irishman used to say
can't send any karma as i've given to much lately but will remember

Nice one slinks and very true as well, but its no secret cashy knows

There was a council leader called Peter,
whom his enemy branded a cheater.
Whilst at the Town Hall,
he suffered a fall in a poll,
and now there's nothing he can do but to beat her.

(Any names in the above ditty are coincidental, otherwise I could be accused of being pro a certain politician.)

There was a young girl at Town Bent
who misunderstood what was meant
when told by a toff
to take her mac off
she did what she heard and just went

An old lady from Green'aworth once said
in my day young folk were well fed
brown bread and dripping
now standards are slipping
they now eat McDonalds instead

The members are warming to this thread after a shaky start. I think that beecy's Clayton taxi has my vote for leader at present. I give here the one by John Sephton.

A fella fro' Clayton-le-Moors
Got confused and went knockimn' on doors;
They said "Henry, Good heavens,
Tha'rt at sixes an' sevens"
He said, "Nay, nobbut threeses and foors"


Katex is correct - 5 lines, with 1,2 & 5 rhyming, as do 3 & 4

[MargaretR]

There once was an old man in Rishton
who had a short leg and a list on
he was glad of inclines
walked sideways most times
but limped on visits to Bispham

[Eric]

I left Accy long, long ago,
Because of a yearning for snow.
Now, as a Canuck,
I have the good luck
To shovel the damn stuff till I glow.

Well, it's sort of on topic

For Accrington guys,
It's Holland's meat pies,
And hot little bits of black puddin'.
But Canucks eat poutine, and hunks of bloudin,
And slabs of tortierre with their fries.

I have an attack of the munchies, so food came to mind. Unfortunately, the muse didn't come along with them.

[Retlaw]

There was an old fella from Staining
Who's life was definitley waining
He hadn't a clue
About what to do
Except everlasting complaining.

to set the pussycat free

because he knew nobody else could
