Limericks

Time for another distraction.

I saw this on another site and thought we could give it a try.

The object is to construct a limerick one line at a time, which of course must follow the normal rhyming convention.
Copy and paste the previous entry into your own post and add your line.
Whoever fills in the punchline gets to start the next one.

who actually worked for BUPA

There was a young lady from Stoupa
who actually worked for BUPA
She was swimming one day

There was a young lady from Stoupa
who actually worked for BUPA
She was swimming one day
When her wig went astray

But she shrugged and said 'I'm a troupa'

Well done! You lot are so clever.

I like it! I like it!

Come on Cootie, start the next one!

There was once an extraordinary duck

Who thought she was down on her luck

Who thought she was down on her luck
Along came an old goat
With a very sore throat

There was once an extraordinary duck
Who thought she was down on her luck
Along came an old goat
With a very sore throat
And laid her down gently, in his truck

Coot found it was nothing but sand
As he strode through the grass

Coot found it was nothing but sand
As he strode through the grass
He stepped on some glass

Whilst perusing his newly bought land
Coot found it was nothing but sand
As he strode through the grass
He stepped on some glass
The words that he said have been banned.

One day I went into To Steki

And asked for a slice of Boureki

And asked for a slice of Boureki

One day I went into To Steki
And asked for a slice of Boureki

So I had a cheese scone

One day I went into To Steki
And asked for a slice of Boureki
But it was all gone
So I had a cheese scone
And a portion of chips with bifteki.

Oh no! It's me again........... ........
