Coffeebean old hand Registered: 02/11/03 Posts: 725 Loc: Oregon, USA	Originally Posted By: Jackie I think Sparteye's the person who had us doing something like this lo these many years ago: take the first and last headwords of an open dictionary, and make a sentence out of them--the weirder the better. I agree - some folks who were participating earlier have dropped out. I think we should go back to the Roolz and make a sentence. Now, as you can see, we did not hesitate to make a couplet at times. Want to start a new thread for limericks only? Or keep it as-is? CB

This thread was pretty inactive for a while. I tried to revive it with the limericks a month or so ago, and we had the discussion early on about whether or not to start a new thread. That was left unresolved at the time, so we can decide today (but I have to leave for work right now.) _________________________ "I don't know which is worse: ignorance or apathy.

Well, let's keep the thread as-is. All you non-limerickers: feel free to jump in with a sentence or whatever moves you. If we have a double post (which sometimes happens anyway) we will address both posts and continue having fun. CB
