The limericks are all so masterful, Andy, that all any Genes member can do is read them and admire the - what's the word I'm searching for? - the cynganedd and syntax of each beautifully crafted verse.

Art for art's sake :-) :-) :-)

Andrew....I just posted a thread for Allan.........to let him know that I do believe we got away with last nights shenanigans.

;-) :-D ;-)

There was a young vicar from Salisbury
whose manners were quite halisbury-scalisbury.
He went around Hampshire
without any pampshire
'til his bishop compelled him to walisbury.

No, I have no idea what it means either - but it is surely worth an rr :-S

John, the old name for Salisbury was Sarum

Hampshire is abbreviated to Hants

I'll leave you to do the translation :-D

You will get me sent off, Allan. Banned from Genes, prison, deportation like your goodself. Will spend last 50 years of my 117 year life in hot old Esperance in WA :-( :-( :-( :-(

There was a young vicar from Sarum
Whose manners were quite harum-scarum.
He went around Hants,
Without any pants,
'Til his bishop compelled him to wear 'em

:-D :-D :-D

There once was a young man named Hyde
Who fell down a privy and died.
His younger brother
Then fell down another
And now they’re interred side by side.

An old couple living in Gloucester
Had a beautiful girl but they loucester.
She fell from a yacht
And never the spacht
Could be found where the cold waves had toucester.

Er, John, that was the first one I posted yesterday (Oz time) :-S

There once was a man from down under
Whose face was as black as thunder
You stole my rhyme
You limey slime
Cobber, that's a big blunder :-( :-( :-(

I can just read with awe :-D :-D

Shock and awe, Maggie :-D

No, not shock. More a snotty snigger :-D






I think I may be getting a cold.....................

Relax, John. If I'm the man from down under then my face certainly is not like thunder

I was always told that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery :-D :-D

Snotty snigger sounds like one of Michael McIntyre's bodily malfunctions. Come to think, I had a mini sick this afternoon - no idea where that came from. :-S

You have taught me something this afternoon, Allan. I thought word was philately.

Only if it is stamped on your conscience, John :-D :-D

Have to get some sleep. You have beaten me, Allan. I have been licked :-D ;-)

"I wouldn't be bothered with drawers,"
said one of our better known whawers;
"There isn't much doubt
I do better without
in handling my everyday chawers."

Wonder when "Roger Rabbit" will awaken!

There was a young lady called Bright
Who claimed that she could travel faster than light
She set out one day
In a relative way
And came back on the previous night

A sculptor remarked, "I'm afraid
I have fallen in love with my trade. I'm much too elated
With what I've created,
And, chiefly, the women I've made"
