The Limerick Thread!

[Jimbo]

I thought this might be a fun game to play. Those of you who listen to BBC Radio 4's "I'm sorry I haven't a clue" would know this one.

The game is to construct a limerick one line at a time. I will start with a particularly fecund opening line, then the next person supplies the second line, and so on until a 5 line limerick is formed.

Once a limerick is completed, the next poster can start with a new first line, and thus carry on the general mirth ad infinitum.

The limericks can be bawdy, but please do not use expletives or make them too crude.

OK, here's the first line:

"While strolling the shores of Nantucket,"

James.
