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.

A local exclaimed

"And what is your name?"

[LegalBeagle]

As I hobbled by into the thicket.

Down by the river I was standing

Here's a quick rundown of the rules, from the OP:

1 I have had fun glancing through this thread. One problem I have had with changing pages etc is to know what line it is on. May I suggest to do like what I did at the beginning of this post or in the title to put what line you are completing?

Sorry, all the ones I know have Nantucket in them
