@GongleShanks @jpLANEauthor @AmandaTougher @SianWeather @debhoudekrule yes JP, get a grip. Round his throat.
A unique entry from my student @jpLANEauthor
There once was a cartoon named Hall
Who at first sight appeared very small
But really had a big heart
And was known to be very smart.
One day she hooked up with a crew
Who were all very nice it is true
Except one was a mischievous elf
Who tried to leave poor Hall on the shelf.
You may be thinking I am a lune
To be talking this way about a cartoon
But Hall is as real as can be
Just follow her on Twitter and see.
Don’t know why the last line came out like that JP, will try to sort it out!
Oh and another one from JP……
There was a girl from Jamaica named Joan
Who in truth was not very well known
‘Til she got herself in a tangle
Which turned out to be the right angle…
Until she met up with this strange crew
Who made her laugh ‘til she turned blue
With their antics and outrageous claims
Though here I will mention no names.
They all know who they are,
One claims to be a super star
Who writes even better than me.
Now, I ask you, how could that be?
Thank you @TamieDearen
for your limerick:-)

Good Luck:-)
Last minute entry from Sketch (She wants one of your books @Grimnien! Cheeky isn’t she!
There was a young toon named Hall
Well versed in ye olde Texan drawl
She shot arrows by day
And at night she would say
“Awh shucks, it’s gerd’nyt t’ye’awl!”
Thanks @geordietaf
A naughty young Toon called Hall
Got a very tight grip on my ball.
When I asked for it back
She gave me a smack
And threw it right over a wall.
Good Luck!
Bonkers. You’re just totally bonkers, creased up or otherwise… *hops off shaking head, whistling ‘A Spoonful of Honey…*
