But when he fell on his fanny
Next to Allison Janny,
He found a chaste he could really embrace!

Just a friendly reminder (as the original guidelines are way back on Page 1);
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 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. ***
Please also bear in mind that ‘conventional’ Limerick format suggests that -
*** The first, second, and fifth lines should have seven to ten syllables (‘beats’) while rhyming and have, and follow the same verbal rhythm. The third and fourth lines customarily have only five to seven syllables, and have to rhyme with each other and have the same rhythm. ***

Who whittled a large wooden phallus.

In bed she was almost bacchanal.
