Limerick collaboration game?

Kookee

I’m really enjoying the games room ☺️

So I have a suggestion for a game, but if no one thinks it’s good no worries, it might be a silly idea 🤷‍♀️

We each write a line of a limerick (I was famous for my limericks in my old job and I miss them). The person to write the last line chooses the first line of the next poem.

So for instance:
Person 1: There once was a farmer named Ted 
Person 2: With dear Daisy he wanted to wed
Person 3: He nuzzled her nose 
Person 4: Then knelt down to propose Person 5: But all he got was a hoof in the head
Person 5: New first line

So here’s my first line to start off:

There once was a dog named Keith

Who liked his beef

Albus_Scope

He wanted some meat,

So he ran down the street…

But found he was chasing a leaf.

Avoided the news

And was really accomplished on Cello.

Whose words made everyone brighter

And who was a bit of a fighter

She penned poems all day

And she gave them away

Which made her heart a little lighter

New first line

There once was a police man named Reg

Rosie_Scope

Who loved to eat all kinds of veg

Autumnleaf

He swallowed a carrot

Rosie_Scope

Shaped like a parrot

And choked on a carrot beak wedge.

New first line:

There once was a man who sold coal

Kookee

Regarding taxes, he found a loophole
