Multiple Lines Per Player: A Limericks Special Edition
help
Here's an experiment with the Limerick form. In this game (and this one only) it is permissible for players to contribute more than one line each to each limerick, just to see if we can increase the level of coherence in this much-loved form as practised in the Morniverse. Everything else is the same as normal... Take it away!

It’s OK, lim’rick friend,
Let us wait for the end
And find out what someone else said
In this one I need just one line
I get two and that suits me just fine
So I'll give it a go
And then it's my throw
So the fifth line - (the pay-off) - is mine.
I really can't think of a line
That will start off a lim'rick divine
So instead, this'll do
It's over to you
To end in a way that will shine.
Today is a good day to die!
Said the spider who'd captured a fly
Now kindly keep still
And make up your will
While I make a bluebottle-pie
The old lady who swallowed a fly
Washed it down with a cupful of chai
She swallowed the spider
And chased it with cider
The question remains - will she die?
Sojourning awhile in The Hague
I noticed a doorway marked "Plague"
Upon opening I
Found Dutch apple pie
But the connection with plague was quite vague
We left Frances-Bay with the tide,
Two ships in the dawn side by side
But while leaving the port
We found we were short
Of the captain - poor bugger had died.
So we steered a course by the stars
