Read from A - these are hilarious - just one suggestion:

Come play with her cute little granny
Come play in her cute little cranny

Thank you - glad you took the time to go back through the earlier ones and even review them for the pittance they are now offering.

Good suggestion which I hadn't thought of when I was pondering alternatives for that most obvious one which would have offened some readers here....

I'll be going back through these shortly to revise them all and I will definitely keep that in mind - nice innuendo.

okay, I think I get why Sharyn said I would love your humour. This had me laughing out loud and a fan request is on the way pronto :)

Ah Steve,
As the oracle said, "A dirty mind is a joy forever." Absolutely brilliant, old son. These meet all the requirements of the perfect limerick. Metre, rhyme, ribald wit and excellent punch lines, but when did a fanny become a granny? or are you just being coy?
Best regards
Reg

Yes - , granny was a bit of a cop-out - mainly because the nanny would have been deling with young children and it seemed just a bit far over the line I've been treading - as long as anyone with half a braain can work out what I really meant.
Thanks for ll the stars!

Alright the first provided painful imagery, I laughed nonetheless. I suspect Oswald allows but a few to play his organ, unwieldy thing that it is. Perhaps, Oswald and Nightingale?

Thank you - the idea of a grand finale where all of these characters get together is almost too good to resist,

Thank you very much for the desperately needed laugh today! The matador is hysterical, you have a very humorous pen, my friend-
instrument's size is a rarity-too funny...

When I read these I just shook my head - only Kiwi Steve I thought! I'm laughing now and don't know anyone who could come up with this craziness! You gave me a great laugh. Giddy

I didn't get the second one but loved the poor bullfighter who lost this cajones. Also the play on words with organ and instrument with no flops. LOL

Hilarious Steve! I laughed at all three of them, but the last was my very favorite! You know how I love a play on words and you have done that with great aplomb in this delightful trio gift. I find this a very difficult form to write. Never could get the meter down. You did it superbly. Hugs, Sue

Comment from Cornelius2000

These are wonderful! I know that our church organist is going to enjoy the last of the three. I don't know any matadors who would enjoy #1, but I certainly enjoyed it. I thought the rhyme of "O'Flaherty" with "popularity" was especially clever. Well done.

Thank you - I don't know if that's an exact rhyme for O'Flaherty but it's certainly close enough as I hear it in my head with an Irish accent.
