Just a reminder:
The ‘rules’ of this thread allow for anyone to contribute more than one line per limerick, as long as the lines are not consecutive.
The only other ‘rule’ of consequence is that the writer of the first line cannot write the fifth.
(I make this comment because, when the thread was first established, the ‘rules’ stipulated only one line per person per limerick.
This was later amended to the above, hopefully to make things speedier as well as more spontaneous).

Well done!
But we’re back to again needing a new first line.
