And so it begins....

irach
"I brave the fierce wind"
Rosie
"My career I've binned"
Bigsmith
"But it's worth it, just look at the view!"
Rosie
As I squelched through the mudflats of Kent
Software
I pondered the reason for Lent
irach
'Tis to boost sales of fish
Darren
I mused, with a wish
penelope
From the Humber, the Thames and So
lent
mercy!
Darren
The hardest of crimes to detect
[pen] What about the Trent?
penelope
[Darren] I'm foreign now, and don't know those things. Axshully, I forgot it.
Marc
Are those that’s performed so perfect
Software
But with Marple and Co
irach
And with Poirot in tow
penelope
It'd be im-poss-i-bull to confect
Simons Mith
The Severn, the Trent and the Dove
Rosie
Flow with the rains from above
Software
But in times of drought
Darren
They must do without
I Say, Porter!
And rowers must get out and shove
irach
When an Aberdeen lad went to Perth
Phil
He found out just what he was worth
Simons Mith
When he looked at the cheque
Marc
He thought: "What the heck,"
Rosie
"Give me haggis. To hell with my girth".
Simons Mith
When travelling to Aberdeen
Raak
I turned to look back where I'd been
Rosie
And ran off the road
Software
Upset my load
Marc
Of hand-woven pink gabardine
Marc
The Clan of MacLean-Cameron
Dujon
Was once a great power that's now gone
Simons Mith
All the blood that was spilt
Phil
Down the front of my kilt
Software
Leaves my dry-cleaner feeling forlorn
Rosie
I stood on the platform at Crewe
irach
As I wondered just what I would do
Raak
If my train was delayed
Software
Would that fact be displayed?
Bigsmith
And would there be time for the loo?
Simons Mith
When you surf on the roof of a train
Software
You need the bumps fell in your brain
Rosie
Don't touch the live wire
(Softers) Wossat mean, den?
Darren
Or you might catch on fire
I think he meant "felt on"
Marc
And with angels you'll sing the refrain
Simons Mith
If you surf on the roof of the tube
Raak
You should rub yourself over with lube
Marc
Keep a profile that’s low
Rosie
Pray you don't need the po
Darren
Or you might be seen as a n00b
Rosie
If you surf on the mighty ocean
irach
Dab on lots of sun-tanning lotion
Marc
Keep a profile that's high
Simons Mith
– Imitate Captain Bligh!
Software
Completely devoid of emotion
penelope
The chocolate chicken is here!
Rosie
Because it's that time of the year
irach
So I'll be a feaster
Phil
A
cioccolatista
,
Software
So I'll crush it to bits, never fear!
Juxtapose
The problem with watching ballet
Limerick challenge: no "gay".
Simons Mith
As I once heard Nureyev say
Easy, so far
irach
"Those padded dance belts
Darren
Do leave me with welts
Raak
In places I really can't say."
Simons Mith
I've chosen to learn how to box
irach
Replacing those gloves with two socks
Marc
Though the gloves on my feet
...kickboxing...?
Software
Do look very neat
penelope
They don't help when throwing out knocks
Marc
They're rubbing - my Crocodile shoes,
Software
It's jarring - my singing the blues
irach
My pain's the refrain
Darren
These shoes are my bane
Juxtapose
Their
scales yield
mine
awful reviews
irach
My big toe is throbbing with gout
Raak
But I shan't take the easy way out
Simons Mith
Instead I shall hop
penelope
To the cutlery shop
Marc
Carve my shoe to a nice bulging-out
Marc
Poor Darling, I’ll buy you a pint
Anna
They're costly - the taxes are gi'ant
Software
I'll make it real ale
of course
penelope
Cos you're looking so pale
Rosie
And all on expenses; please sign 't.
Marc
"My lines are so close to perfection,"
Well, not mine - yours!
Software
No-one can raise an objection
Rosie
The words, they just flow
Raak
Like the times when I "go"
Juxtapose
My stream never needs a correction
apologies all around...
Darren
[Juxtapose] Why apologise? It's much cleaner than the line which popped into my head. (Which is why I didn't play it!)
Rosie
(Darren) Agreed. It's Raak who's the dirty bugger.
Rosie
There was a young lad from Belgrade
trad.
irach
Who wished to get Tinker Bell laid
Software
His fairy-like dream
Chalky
Made Peter Pan scream
blamelewis
for it wasn't his
croc
he displayed.
Software
A pudding fell out of the sky
Raak
And before I could say, "Goodness! Why--"
irach
This "manna from heaven"
penelope
"Is four pounds forty seven!"
Marc
That is cheap for an airborne cow pie!
Juxtapose
A man from the planet of Mars
Rosie
Kept carbon dioxide in jars
irach
Its greenhouse effects
Raak
Encouraged safe sects
Simons Mith
So it's highly endorsed by the stars
irach
An image from telescope Hubble
Darren
Depicted a great cosmic bubble
Software
At the edge of known space
Raak
Which resembles the face
Rosie
Of old Patrick Moore, but with stubble.
Software
While sunning myself on the beach
Simons Mith
I noticed a very fine Peach
Raak
I stroked its soft skin
Simons Mith
[Raak]
Her
soft skin, I was hoping.
Rosie
Surely no sin
Chasty
Then licked off its sweet juicy leach ...
Marc
This beach once was filled with white sand
CdM
But things have not gone as we planned
Rosie
For, as you can see
Software
It's filled with debris
Sierra Mike
Teen beach parties should really be banned
Rosie
It says on the side of this tin
Software
BEWARE: there's traces of nuts within
irach
You could break out in hives
Marc
When the doctor arrives,
Darren
He'll throw the whole lot in the bin.
Juxtapose
I once met a maid from Regina
Limerick challenge: clean
Rosie
Who cherished her old Morris Minor
Will that do, Juxt?
irach
She kept it so clean
Darren
It dazzled the Queen
irach
Whose Bentleys are not any finer
...
[Juxtapose] There...clean as a whistle...
Marc
True Lim'ricks are not to be clean,
