Lets write a Limerick, one line at a time.

[Michael Rolls]

I thought cricket was a gentlemen's game
But sledging the Aussies put England to shame
But no excuse for the tactics of Oz

[GrannyMac]

I thought cricket was a gentlemen's game
But sledging the Aussies put England to shame
But no excuse for the tactics of Oz
Whose stumping behaviour wasn't sporting tha' knows

[Michael Rolls]

I thought cricket was a gentlemen's game
But sledging the Aussies put England to shame
But no excuse for the tactics of Oz
Whose stumping behaviour wasn't sporting tha' knows
Don't anyone dare say 'it's only a game'


A lad playing truant from school

[GrannyMac]

A lad playing truant from school
Had little regard for the rules

[Michael Rolls]

A lad playing truant from school
Had little regard for the rules
but, seen by a teacher

[klondike]

A lad playing truant from school
Had little regard for the rules
But, seen by a teacher
A despicable creature

A lad playing truant from school
Had little regard for the rules
But, seen by a teacher
A despicable creature
With no time for those he called fools


A lonely old bachelor from Devon

[GrannyMac]

A lonely old bachelor from Devon
Got married when he was eighty seven

[klondike]

A lonely old bachelor from Devon
Got married when he was eighty seven
His bride of 23 had eyes filled with glee

[Michael Rolls]

A lonely old bachelor from Devon
Got married when he was eighty seven
His bride of 23 had eyes filled with glee
As she seated herself on his knee

[GrannyMac]

A lonely old bachelor from Devon
Got married when he was eighty seven
His bride of 23 had eyes filled with glee
As she seated herself on his knee
He died happy, she's in financial heaven.

An election is needed they say

[klondike]

An election is needed they say
When it comes there'll be hell to pay

[Michael Rolls]

An election is needed they say
When it comes there'll be hell to pay
The voters get fooled

[klondike]

An election is needed they say
When it comes there'll be hell to pay
The voters get fooled
Can tempers be cooled?

[GrannyMac]

An election is needed they say
When it comes there'll be hell to pay
The voters get fooled
Can tempers be cooled?
And some sense means Reform wins the day!
