- Would’ve loved to have been last and said: ‘Got scrambled-up with his Ring Thing’.
A time traveling panda named Ching
Went back to see the Ming King
But to his surprise,
The rings from his eyes
Were all that he got of the Ming bling.

**As initiator of the thread, and following useful input from other contributors, it is proposed to amend the ‘rules’, slightly. (They were a little too restrictive).
So,
- Each writer may contribute more than one line per limerick. But these cannot be consecutive.
- The writer of the first line cannot write the last - unless the thread has gone into hibernation.
- The writer of the last line earns the right to suggest the first line of the new limerick. (The only time 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. **

As she ran for the bus in the rain

“Now, Watson,” said Sherlock one day
ETA - I’ll use it later.
As she ran for the bus in the rain
Her heel got caught in the drain
As she ran for the bus in the rain
Her heel got caught in the drain
She fell with a splash
As she ran for the bus in the rain
Her heel got caught in the drain
She fell with a splash
Tore a gash in her sash
As she ran for the bus in the rain
Her heel got caught in the drain
She fell with a splash
Tore a gash in her sash
And said, “Next time, I’m taking the train.”
The awards show on Sunday night
The awards show on Sunday night
Had a juggler with trousers too tight
The awards show on Sunday night
Had a juggler with trousers too tight
With his balls in the air,
The awards show on Sunday night
Had a juggler with trousers too tight
With his balls in the air,
And pain in his lower pair

Had a juggler with trousers too tight
With his balls in the air,
And pain in his lower pair
The whole crowd suffered stage fright.
