  • whose gait was remakably dandy,

  • My dog would be scruffy and friendly like this:

    My first dog was called scruffy - best dog ever. Would sit on the front door mat. No need for a fence round the house... she didn't go walkabout. We left her at Kempsey once on the way home from a holiday. Stopped for a cuppa tea. I put my hand under the car seat and said "mum, where's scruffy".... so we turned around and hightailed it back to said picnic spot. About 3 hours after we'd forgotten her and in the pissing down rain, there was my dog, sat where we'd left her.

    I've been bitten by a poodle whilst delivering pamphlets. I now have fear.

    Jack Russels rock.

  • ^ she looped string round its balls

  • And it walked with its legs well bandy.

  • syllable short.

  • actually, its a whole line short too.

    Hm:

    My Gran had a Corgi named Shandy.

    whose gait was remakably dandy,

    When she heard its footfalls

    5 lines. Limerick, yes?

    syllable short.

    There aren't hard and fast rules for Limericks. There are a couple of traditional forms derived from very popular Limericks, but overall you can be quite liberal with the forms. You're not going to produce a 'pure' one with five different authors, anyway. I experimented with about five versions of the line and liked this one best.

  • Oh, I missed that footfall one...

    But its still missing a syllable. Sloppy work, Schick.

  • It baffles me when people think Limericks follow strict rules. :)

    None of this surprises me.
