a film I just don't want to see
Dujon
It's nothing but dross

With Matt and Luke Goss
(remember them? I bet you wish you didn't)
Tuj
A mark out of five? Minus three.
Snodgrass
And talking of towns on the coast
Kim
They say (though they don't like to boast)
Raak
That Yarmouth's the place
Nick
For black satin lace
Darren
And mushrooms and baked beans on toast.
Tuj
When paying a visit to Durham
hoho
Rosie
I realised there's no rhyme for Durham
Let alone two.
CdM
And so I left Durham
Bigsmith
(A nice town that, Durham)
Breadmaster
And ended up in Dover, which is vile.
Enough of this nonsense. Back to proper limerickese.
I once met a man with three legs
Darren
Who pushed out a basket of eggs
Rosie
I said, "Hello, tripod",
I can only think of one rhyme
Puckoon
"are you man or god?"
was that the one?
st dogmael
And ended up in Dover, which was nowhere near as nice as Durham
Raak
An angel approached me and said:
Bigsmith
"Permit me to point out you're dead"
penelope
"Your mortal life ended"
Rosie
"Your ways you have mended"
I still think the other place is more interesting.
Tuj
So well send you to Durham instead
Tuj
Ahem -
"So we'll send you to Durham instead."
Ay thang yew.
Bigsmith
In Darlington, Durham and Dover
Darren
The law has a precedence over
Vida
The wearing of heels
Tuj
But Judge often repeals
Marc
If promised a lay in the clover
Marc
One night on the beach down in Bognor
Kim
Recalling my visit to Durham
Raak
I thought of Prestatyn
Rosie
and Winterbourne Abbas
Anarchy in the UK
Bigsmith
And all of the time spent in Ais Gill
st d
There was a young man from Prestatyn
Raak
Who wore on his head a gold paten
Chalky
When asked to describe
Darren
The drinks he'd imbibe
Marc
He slurred he will never leave Durham
Marc
Tonight I will take her, I swear,
(To Durham, where else??)
Darren
To Durham, with wind in her hair
Rosie
We'll get the eight-thirty
rab
Get deep down and dirty
JLE
If anyone sees, I don't care ;-)
The Obligatory Line Fanatic
Bigsmith
I've got to leave old Durham town
Software
Opp north is getting me down
Kim
I'll head West-South-West
Darren
Wearing naught but a vest
plump
And arm bands in case that I drown
Kim
While heading t'wards Stratford-on-Avon
Rosie
, that well-known cultural haven
Irouleguy
I stopped off in Warwick
KH
To meet poor old Yorick
(oblig., and thank you)
Software
And paused for a pint in "The Raven".
Darren
There once was a writer called Poe
Bigsmith
Who found it so hard to say "No"
KH
His stutter got worse
Tuj
Then he'd start to curse
Flix
He still wrote classic prose, though.
Flix
Oops, add a 'some' in after wrote...
Linesman
He still wrote some classic prose, though.
Kim
Will Smith saves the world (yet again)
Software
His heroics will drive us insane
Tuj
Does no-one but me
unfinished rhetorical question alert!

Eschew going to see

Bloody "Men in Black III"? What a pain!
widey
I once stopped in Bangkok for the night
Fiddler
But left back to Durham with next flight
(A short stay....)
Rosie
Landed at Luton
as you would
CdM
Put a new suit on
[Fiddler] Is that the one-syllable pronunciation of Durham?
KH
Like me it was a little too tight.
(having to squeeze the extra syllable in to make it scan)
Angus Prune
I've been staying oop north for two weeks
Darren
To study some birds with two beaks
Flix
Whilst quite advantageous
Dujon
I find it outrageous
Marc
The language the two-beaked birds speaks
...a foul language not worthy to be published, not even here!
Marc
A chick may say no, meaning yes
Software
But heed caution, nevertheless
