A limerick for your entertainment.
Back in 2019, at the Nottingham Writers’ Club Christmas party, there was the usual limerick competition. With ten first lines (source unknown) to choose from, we had 10-15 minutes to write a limerick. All efforts were read out and voted on- with chocolate for the winner.
My entry came second, and this is the first time I managed to write a limerick that scanned.

I shared this in my recent newsletter, but thought I’d spread the fun wider and add it to the blog.
