Loopy Limericks

Thread Games

With a modicum of trepidation, in that it might be seen as slightly precocious for a raw newbie to suggest a new game … oh, what the hell.

The format that I would suggest is that each contributor may only ever offer one line for each new limerick, but the author of the fifth and last line initiates the first of the next new one.
(Cut and paste all of the existing lines and then add your contribution. In that way each creation will reach its conclusion, complete).

My breathing asthmatic
Made puffing erratic

And that’s why we sleep top and tailed.

I apologise for breaking my own suggested ‘rule’ of only one line per contributor per limerick.

Call me impatient if you like, but, hopefully, not precious - I just grew tired of waiting to see if the idea would germinate.
Now, I’ve started to think it won’t and so will just let it die - unless someone else (like I originally did) thinks it might provide just a little more of an intellectual challenge and amusement than mindlessly building ‘lists’ from information that at one click can be Googled by anybody.

No, I think this idea has merit. Let’s do another:

There once was a pretty young thing
Hunting an engagement ring
But the sight of her thighs

There once was a pretty young thing
Hunting an engagement ring
But the sight of her thighs
Brought tears to the eyes

There once was a pretty young thing
Hunting an engagement ring
But the sight of her thighs
Brought tears to the eyes
And shrinkage to my ding-a-ling.

And what this podiatrist most missed
