Chinese limericks
All familiar with the limerick pattern?
5 lines.
Line 1 is 8 or 9 syllables
Line 2 about the same
Lines 3 and 4 between 4 and 5 syllables
Line 5 is between 7 and 9.
Lines 1 & 2 to rhyme, likewise 3 & 4. Line 5 to rhyme with first or second couplet.
We all contribute a line.
In the event of a double posting for a line, the person with most metres to date takes precedence.
Risque is good, smutty is acceptable, outright rude and insulting is not.
I'll start:
There was a tall rower called Thomas....

Ok, a bit of a stretch, but it's been a while and nobody else has come up with a 4th or 5th line.
