At Redemption (SF convention last weekend) there were a couple of flyers for another convention (Year of the Teledu) with just the first line of a limerick on them. Alas, they never got finished over the weekend. Can we do better? Here is how far they had got when I last saw them:

A teledu of my acquaintance		A Sumatran badger that stank
Has purchased a gaudy conveyance		Lived deep in a hole, dark and dank
It's painted bright blue		. . . . . . . .
And filled with beef stew		. . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . .		. . . . . . . . . . . .

Lived in a deep hole, dark and dank
Its one pride and joy
