Limericks. (New)

With a clash I fell onto my knees
Then ‘plop’ down the drain went my keys

With a clash I fell onto my knees
Then ‘plop’ down the drain went my keys
I searched for a hook

With a clash I fell onto my knees
Then ‘plop’ down the drain went my keys
I searched for a hook
But had not much luck

With a clash I fell onto my knees
Then ‘plop’ down the drain went my keys
I searched for a hook
But had not much luck
Could anyone help me - please?

Then along came a man in his van

Then along came a man in his van
Who said “I have a cunning plan”

Then along came a man in his van
Who said “I have a cunning plan”
He produced a magnet on a string

Then a long came a man in his van
Who said “I have a cunning plan”
He produced a magnet on a string
I thought " That’s an odd looking thing"

Then a long came a man in his van
Who said “I have a cunning plan”
He produced a magnet on a string
I thought " That’s an odd looking thing"
He said “I will get your keys if I can.”

He dangled the string down the drain

He dangled the string down the drain
Just as it started to rain

He dangled the string down the drain
Just as it started to rain
Wet levels raised up

He dangled the string down the drain
Just as it started to rain
Wet levels raised up
But only enough to fill a cup

He dangled the string down the drain
Just as it started to rain
Wet levels raised up
But only enough to fill a cup
He watched the keys float by with distain

The taxi he hailed then pulled up

Job to rhyme with “up” @RightNow so made slight change.

He decided to call for a cab
He was due at the docs for his jab

The taxi he hailed then pulled up
Drove him back home for a quick sup
A locksmith he called
New keys drilled and hauled
Retrieving his car, bought some syrup.

Not all that difficult, @Tezza. I recall you starting a new thread as you didn’t like previous efforts made in Limericks.

Here you go. Good luck

Think I’ll pass if it’s okay with you. I find your sarcasm unnecessary and unwarranted. The reason I restarted the limerick thread was because it was mainly doggerel. If you wish to start another limerick thread be my guest.

How about if we start again? That one became a bit muddly, or maybe it was just me?. :thinking:

I have often found there are words here which are difficult to follow on from.
Perhaps sometimes we’re thinking of the previous line, more than what we’ve left for the next one to follow? I usually leave it for somebody else to carry on if I can’t do it. :grinning:

Mind if I start again?

Again, there are fireworks tonight

Thanks Mups . The voice of reason as ever. Like you I do try to think of words that have several rhyming words.
Again, there are fireworks tonight
With animals cowering in fright

Again, there are fireworks tonight
With animals cowering in fright
So cuddles are due

Again, there are fireworks tonight
With animals cowering in fright
So cuddles are due
For all but a few
