And so it begins....

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,
penelope
It's tempting to show the obscene
Raak
They must also be witty
BTW, Radio 3 is currently having a competition to compose serious limericks. Maybe we could try one here?
Rosie
Coherent, not bitty
Software
And polished right up to a sheen
Raak
Not only by bread doth man live
Going for a serious limerick. Titter ye not!
irach
Not so much to receive as to give
Rosie
Which lifteth the soul
Software
For those on the dole
penelope
Or those with pock
ets
like a sieve.
Maybe I should apologise...
