    I peeked in the sack, searching for the insulator?

    Something of a soft nature had formed an 'insulator'. The twinkling could not be heard! Could it be packing peanuts? Perhaps some errant paper towels? Something such should have been heard! Or is the thought absurd?

    A something has insulated the sound of the tinny's rattling around?
    Whatever could it be? Tough to toss the bin when such mysteries are free!

    I thoroughly agree with your reasoning. There indeed must have been an insulator of some sort to prevent those tinnies from rattling.

    Unfortunately in a limerick we need the ends of lines to rhyme in the prescribed pattern. We can't be having random words thrown about, it's un-Australian, un-American, and un-limericky!

    Pull yourself together man, and figure out a line that ends in a word that rhymes with "strange".

    Off topic anonymous is a couple of threads over.
    (and no, that does not rhyme with strange!)

    So I think that it's time for a change.

    Indeed, time to move on with this one.
