  • To celebrate 1000 posts.....a limerick thread

    I just wanted to say, at my 1000th post mark (especialy as my posts have been wound back specialy!) a big thank you to all the grapes. You have all become such wonderful friends to me, its like being part of one big and (most of the time ) happy family. I have gained alot of knowledge about gardening and it has also fed my passion for it but then that would be something I would expect from a gardening forum. What I never expected was how you have all helped me grow as a person. I havent been on the vine all day and that is down to you guys - this am I was volunteering at my daughters school library and this afternoon I went (and looked forward to going to) Mums and Tots. I would never have had the confidence for either of these activities a year ago. Even though many of you are so far away you have helped me integrate into village life and also recognise that actualy I am not all that bad a mother after all. You have also eased the lonleyness that comes from having a hubby work such long and ever changing hours, all around the country. If I have bought half as much positivity or inspiration to any of you then I am one very happy girl!

    So I thought I would write a simple verse in the form of a limerick dedicated you all you wonderful people. Thanks again.

    There once was a forum – The Vine
    Whose members were simply divine
    The mods were kinda cool
    But made Finedon look a fool
    By reducing her posts to 999

    If anyone knows any more or can make one up then I would love to hear them.

      I only know rude ones that the mods wouldn't like.

          There was an OLD grape called seahorse
          So old her hair had gone coarse
          But with fabulous wit
          and a size 36 t*t
          she battered young piglet
          till he was hoarse
          .
          I thank you.............. bookings taken for weddings, barmitz.........perhaps not!

                There once was a mod named Pig
                Who liked to wear corsets and wig,
                When he went to the lottie, they thought he was potty,
                But boy, could he dig & dig

                  When I did my 5 hour stint in a pro-kitchen, the rule was that if you moved around with anything hot in a pan etc. you had to yell "Hot Behind!" as a warning to avoid accidents. I was always tempted to yell back "Thank You"

                  Nice, Tammy, you are a lovely. x

                    You know me so well

                    There on the vine from Iona,
                    is a delicious young lady called Rhona
                    She eats an apple a day
                    to keep Beefy away
                    but boy did he chase her

                        There once was a Grape called Flummery,
                        She loved the weather to be summery,
                        In the Gardener's Rest,
                        She joined in with the jest,
                        And laughed at the other Grapes mummery.

                        This is fun

                        (And just so you know it's not a cheat, the dic. def. of 'Mummery' is;
                        1. the performance of mummers.
                        2. any performance, ceremony, etc., regarded as absurd, false, or ostentatious.)

                          There once was a young* man named Pigletwillie
                          Whose posts got increasingly silly
                          A mod called Seahorse
                          Sorted him out (of course)
                          And said 'pack it in, go sow some chilli'



                          *some personal details may have been changed

                          Congrats on your 1000th post Tammy!
                          I was feeling part of the scenery
                          I walked right out of the machinery
                          My heart going boom boom boom
                          "Hey" he said "Grab your things
                          I've come to take you home."

                            There way a young man from crewe
                            Who had absolutely nothing to do
                            So he sat on the stairs
                            Counting his hairs
                            And was excited when he found 2


                            No, I have never lived in crewe

                              Dont laugh, it could have been Herbie
                              A veggie was she
