A Linerick is a Limerick written one piece at a time! |
WELCOME TO LINERICKS ... that's Limericks written a line or two at a time!
So whether you're that Old Lady from Aachen or that Young Man from Zurich or indeed anyone from anywhere in between, if you're addicted to Limericks, just add your line whenever! NOTES: For a quick refresher on how best to structure a Limerick, check out https://tinyurl.com/ykmpx2ym PLEASE DO NOT POST COMPLETE LIMERICKS. The main purpose of the In&Out is to share the blame fun, so please add just one piece at a time. If a fifth line has already been posted, please go ahead and start the next one off. OR ... feel free to add an alternative/additional fifth line if you like! To make for easier reading, please colour tag each first line. Linericks should be witty, with plenty of euphemisms and innuendo. Our 18+ rating means bawdiness is OK, but not as a substitute for cleverness; so please, NO gratuitous lewdness. PS: Having fun is compulsory! |
