Now we are on our third thread of limericks shall we up the stakes and try and include within the line either a colour, animal or number.

Some clever minded Gransnetters may be able to do this cryptically (I am not sure if that is the right word to describe what I mean).

E.g. 'The robber done/dun me over officer' not grammatical I know, but you get my drift.hmm

(of course a bird is an animal, so are insects, fish, and dinosaurs - plenty of strange useful words in dinosaur varieties)

(Time to repeat the template? Again?

Di pom di di pom di di pom di
Di pom di di pom di di pom di

Di pom di di pom
Di pom di di pom

Di pom di di pom di di pom di

The black syllables are emphasised, the not-black ones are not.)

(Oh, and the first, second and last lines rhyme together, the third and fourth lines rhyme with each other.)
