When Liberace played just for me He wore a plain white T. “How odd,” I thought, “Normally what He’d wear is so bright and blingy!” Sorry. I had to finish it. Try it if you want or take my cue: There once was a man from Kent (oh boy) ---

Tyger - Sorry, but read the rules! We’d all like to do that at times - to develop our own idea. You weren’t ‘finishing’ it you were sabotaging it! Complete the one in hand properly and then you get a chance to start a new one. (Thanks Buddha - I’d written this before seeing your comment). ---

\*\*\*1. Each writer may contribute more than one line per limerick. But these cannot be consecutive. 2. The writer of the first line cannot write the last - unless the thread has gone into hibernation. 3. The writer of the last line earns the right to suggest the first line of the new limerick. (The only exception to this is, again, if the thread becomes dormant). Final thing: When entering a line, try and construct it so that if you had to follow it yourself, you could. In other words, try and avoid painting us into a corner. \*\*\* ---
