"Indeed and indeed" I'm sorry to say our intervention might be so construed ... (which is perhaps a promising line for a future quatrain or should that be quintain - woooops wandering out of me depth eye popping smiley) Nevertheless, like you, am itching to pitch in! eye rolling smiley At least we'll be able to confer and compare after the event!

Ok Truthy, I'll show you mine, if ....e.t.c.

For the time being, I intend to offer a number of third lines.

Do you want to reveal all here, in public, or somewhere more...ahem.... private?

Ok Truthy, below are three suggestions for the third line.

I suppose we could invite others to add lines if they so wish.


When Ironeyes met Tru
There was a great to do
While dining in Brussels


When Ironeyes met Tru
There was a great to do
The need for discretion


When Ironeyes met Tru
There was a great to do
They both felt quite nervous

Oh Tru, you have put poor Ion between a rock and a hard place there.eye popping smiley

This is the Adaline thread - if he does a complete limerick he will be ot, and if he adds more than one line someone will tell him off for being greedy!

Thanks Lady P, nicely put.

Truthy, I can understand you being impatient to see what I have to offer, but I'd prefer to give others a chance first.

Could start an unsavoury rumour

or

Might mean one could fly the tricolour

(Apologies for the unwarranted stereotyping, I am not a francophobe or italophobe or any phobe, except maybe a phobophobe. The word just happened to be a good fit. I suggest that when Lady P started this, she did not intend it to be associated with cowardice etc)

When Ironeyes met Tru
There was a great to do
While dining in Brussels
He showed off his muscles



Actually Ion I didnt mean anything in particular with the discretion is the better part of valour line, it just sprang to mind when considering that completing a limerick that includes two such august personalities should perhaps be approached with a modicum of cautionwhistling smiley

Yes, I had noticedwhistling smiley and wondered how you did it but thought it was a mod. thing! Didnt realise you could edit after sending.

Ok, just tested , now I have got it. Meanwhile anyone who dares can take their choice of lines.

Thrilling though both they may be
To cast the pitch wider's my plea
Let's write of things new
Though mind now not blue!
Enough said of Tru and IE.
