To celebrate 1000 posts.....a limerick thread

[Finedon.Dandy]

I just wanted to say, at my 1000th post mark (especialy as my posts have been wound back specialy!) a big thank you to all the grapes. You have all become such wonderful friends to me, its like being part of one big and (most of the time ) happy family. I have gained alot of knowledge about gardening and it has also fed my passion for it but then that would be something I would expect from a gardening forum. What I never expected was how you have all helped me grow as a person. I havent been on the vine all day and that is down to you guys - this am I was volunteering at my daughters school library and this afternoon I went (and looked forward to going to) Mums and Tots. I would never have had the confidence for either of these activities a year ago. Even though many of you are so far away you have helped me integrate into village life and also recognise that actualy I am not all that bad a mother after all. You have also eased the lonleyness that comes from having a hubby work such long and ever changing hours, all around the country. If I have bought half as much positivity or inspiration to any of you then I am one very happy girl!

So I thought I would write a simple verse in the form of a limerick dedicated you all you wonderful people. Thanks again.

There once was a forum – The Vine
Whose members were simply divine
The mods were kinda cool
But made Finedon look a fool
By reducing her posts to 999

If anyone knows any more or can make one up then I would love to hear them.

Congrats on your thousandth post Tammy. I used to be good at limericks but now by brain can't think fast enough to remember them

I only know rude ones that the mods wouldn't like.

[HeyWayne]

I only know County Limerick.

There was an OLD grape called seahorse
So old her hair had gone coarse
But with fabulous wit
and a size 36 t*t
she battered young piglet
till he was hoarse
.
I thank you.............. bookings taken for weddings, barmitz.........perhaps not!

Hey PW - look what's happened to your avatar! I TOLD you your pants were on fire!

Reaping what other people sow Mum. Nothing wrong with a hot bum.

There once was a mod named Pig
Who liked to wear corsets and wig,
When he went to the lottie, they thought he was potty,
But boy, could he dig & dig

Nothing wrong with a hot bum.

When I did my 5 hour stint in a pro-kitchen, the rule was that if you moved around with anything hot in a pan etc. you had to yell "Hot Behind!" as a warning to avoid accidents. I was always tempted to yell back "Thank You"

Nice, Tammy, you are a lovely. x

You know me so well

There on the vine from Iona,
is a delicious young lady called Rhona
She eats an apple a day
to keep Beefy away
but boy did he chase her

Brilliant Sarah

Poor Seahorse. Andrea are you not gonna put PW onto the norty step?

[SarzWix]

There once was a Grape called Flummery,
She loved the weather to be summery,
In the Gardener's Rest,
She joined in with the jest,
And laughed at the other Grapes mummery.

This is fun

(And just so you know it's not a cheat, the dic. def. of 'Mummery' is;
1. the performance of mummers.
2. any performance, ceremony, etc., regarded as absurd, false, or ostentatious.)

[Seahorse]

There once was a young* man named Pigletwillie
Whose posts got increasingly silly
A mod called Seahorse
Sorted him out (of course)
And said 'pack it in, go sow some chilli'



*some personal details may have been changed

Congrats on your 1000th post Tammy!

There way a young man from crewe
Who had absolutely nothing to do
So he sat on the stairs
Counting his hairs
And was excited when he found 2

No, I have never lived in crewe

[pigletwillie]

Andrea was a mod from Derby
Dont laugh, it could have been Herbie
A veggie was she
all broccoli and tea
but boy was she bottom burpy
