Her is another new word game (I'll do a few and just see which ones die). I will type the first line, then someone else can do the second and so on. Nothing too rude please! :-)

Just an aside - I came across these two...
. There was a young lady from Ryde,
. Who was carried away by the tide,
. But a man-eating shark,
. Was heard to remark,
. "I knew that the Lord would provide"

or the original...

. There was a young lady from Ryde,
. Who ate some green apples and died.
. The apples fermented
. Inside the lamented,
. Making cider inside 'er inside.

The time is now for me to butt in
To tell you all what fun it has been
To read your fine rhymes
And giggle through times
When otherwise just would I mere grin.

My Limericks subscription will stay
As long as the three of you still play
I'll follow along
May put them to song
Carry on now and have a great day! ;)

I suppose I should visit the place
where these artworks reside, and embrace
the notion of guessing,
(could be quite a blessing,
or even a nice change of pace!)

But am I sufficiently "versed"
*crosses her arms, lips are pursed*
to uncover the truth?
To guess right, forsooth?
I might do, but prob'ly not first!
