Children In Need Limerick Thread 2010

[mundia]

Here we go then. The longest Limerick thread. Can we beat our previous best of 269 posts. Can we do better? Of course we can!!

 

There are a few rules:

 

• Please add a whole verse if you can
  
• No bad language
  
• you can pledge if you wish per verse, or a lump sum to Children in need
  
• you dont have to donate but it would be great if you can.
  
• Add as many times as you like but please only one verse per post.
  

 

There will be a few FSF 'spot' prizes so lets see how we get on.

 

Here's the opening verse, courtesy of JacquieL

 

 

It’s a fun day so we’d like to plead

That we all try to do a good deed.

We know that we’re dotty,

So lets all go spotty,

And raise money for Children in Need!

[mundia]

And here is the lovely Sue's contribution

 

Every year there is Children in Need

And the mods have a fine time indeed

This year they're all spotty

And bound to send you dotty

But great fun you must all concede

 

 

thanks Sue

[JacquieL]

I ‘d like to donate a 10p

For everyone who can see

Their way to join in,

And make us all grin

And fill all those children with glee.

[sunnyday]

So here's my effort.......

 

Forum folk now take heed

Tis time for Children In Need

For a night full of fun

With Maz, Jac, Beau and Mun

Woo - very exciting indeed!

 

( apologies jacquie and mundia for taking liberties with your names! )

[beth1]

and here is my attempt at a limerick.

 

There was a young bear called pusdey,

Who decided to be a little dotty!

He wore a spotty Bandana,

And jumped up and down on a banner.

Telling the Foundation Stage Fourm

to get theyr money out for me

and don't be soo dotty!

 

 

Ah well at least I tried.

[JacquieL]

Now Sunnyday I’d like to say

That I’m glad that you’ve got us underway,

We don’t mind our names

Being altered or changed,

As long as the members will pay!

 

I don’t expect you all to donate on here by the way but it rhymed

[Deb]

Please don't think me a thug

But I REALLY WANT an FSF mug!

It's just one of those prizes

Doesn't matter what your size is

You get a Foundation Stage Forum 'group hug'!

[Guest]

I went to the shops earlier today

It really wasn't much out of my way.

I watched the children sing and dance

They happened to be there, just by chance.

I then bumped into Pudsey Bear

Sitting in his spotty chair,

He didn't have a lot to say

But I wanted to help help in some small way.

Then I saw the bucket to drop in my money

Now I'm watching it on the tele, well it is quite funny!

[Beau]

There once was a bear called Blush(er)

Who went to a wedding in Russia

When she got there

A bear showed her her chair

And then she had a crush on the usher!

 

Okay, this is the combined effort from our family. I think we all need a lie down now.

[JacquieL]

Debs how can we ignore

Such a plea and such an implore.

Hugs to you on this day

So a mugs on it’s way

But please don’t ask for any more!

[beth1]

Ok I haven't wrote this but my friend who I am chatting to did this one.

 

Pudsey is the bear who cares,

With a spotty bandana,

a heart of gold,

and a...

he waits for a your donation from all the nation.

[Guest]

There’s singing, there’s dancing and rhyme

And we’ve all had a really great time

We’ve been in our pyjamas

Eating cheese and bananas

And we’ve set up a Pudsey Bear shrine

 

 

(this is a little easier than the quiz!! lol)

[Deb]

Well dear friends, I'm over the moon

In fact, quite ready to swoon

My mug I will treasure for ever and ever,

Am off to 'donate' real soon!

 

Cheers!

[sunnyday]

Our Tel's on the telly

Makes me laugh from my belly

Not too sure about Tess

But she's got a nice dress

Both give the fundraising some wellie!

[Rea]

I've been to the pub for a half

Saw some friends new and old for a laugh

We chatted and giggled,

Had some hugs and some sniffles

While my tea in the oven was frazzled!!

[sunnyday]

McFly's Harrys been dancing

He's been leaping and prancing

Kylie's been singing

Donations are winging

To add to the total - enhancing

 

That last line was a bit desperate!

[Beau]

I know that feeling sunnyday. You get so far and then think, help!

[Rea]

I have to admit not watching

Old pudsy and pals this evening

'Cos on bbc2

The Welsh, (wearing Blue)?

Are about tp beat Fifi but closely!

[beth1]

Right its time to open chat

for a right good laugh

all in aid of Pusdey

who wants us to raise

money for children in need.

 

 

 

Ok even worse this time!

[Rea]

Oh Wales! You drew at the last

The fijians showed they had guts

Its a shame but you see

At the last they played best

Better luck with the kiwis next week!!

[beth1]

Well the chat room is open

but everyones sloping

off, is everyone dotty

or a little spotty

cuz they are not noticed

the chat room is open for laughter!

 

 

Ok I admit it I am rubbish at limericks!!!!

[Guest]

I thought I had no tears left

A week of sad soaps has left me bereft

but a few hours of fab kids (sorry dont usually use that word but its fits better than children)

has opened my lids (as in eyes)

and I realise that our nation is the best

 

Ok its late and I've had a busy week - but I tried!!!

[beth1]

Whilst we wait for maz

to open the chat raz

lets fill this thread

and have a good laugh

at people trying to make

at making limerick.

 

Ok I give this in as a bad job!

[Rea]

Pudsey is a yellow bear

His scarf is rather spotty

He's tryng to get a load of dosh

Lets help make children happy

No bad ones Beh, they're all great, its all about the having fun and raising money. Ive only coughed up a couple of quid so far, so come on chaps, keep on keeping on.

 

c'mon chaps give us yer verse

get your money from your purse

a quid'll do

or maybe two

you really can't do any worse

[Rea]

I have to go to bed now

The ale has gone to work

Its made me rather tired

But this task I shall not shirk

The money will go to the bank

To help the kiddywinks

Goodnight to all who stayed and

To the mods I give 'my thanks'.

 

[sunnyday]

Woo! - been watching Take That

Last year those lads had a ball

They performed at the Royal Albert Hall

So wish I could have been there

To raise funds with our favourite bear...

[Guest]

Mastermind for pudsey Bear

All sitting in the big black chair,

Who will get the highest score

And get to shake Pudsey's paw.

 

 

Not good, but trying hard

[sunnyday]

Dipped into the jungle lair

With my favourite Geordie pair

The celebs are so game

None proving too lame

Ah hello, Jenny Eclair!

 

(good old Sky + - this is multi-tasking taken to extremes here - catching up on the 'jungle', limerick writing (well attempts anyway) and popping on here to post!)

[Beau]

Trying hard is fine! Keep them coming.
