Friday Fun - Boxing Limericks

by **Union Cane** Fri 25 Mar 2011, 10:21 am

Saw this idea on another board, thought it was a good idea.

How it hopefully works, I will give the first line of a limerick, and then all you need to do is copy that first line and add the second, then someone else can copy the first two and add the third etc etc

Even with the helpful “somebody has posted in the meantime” feature we should still get too much confusion and duplication.

That has got to be one of the worst explanations of an idea that I’ve ever done, but hopefully you get the gist of it.

Let us begin...

'Twas such a disgrace
I wouldn't want him to be my son

Trashed him for those he had not fought
