h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

On the 'wheel' (for a joke)
he grabbed hold of a spoke

and learned how to fly through the air


An octopus went to a bar

Hoping to bum the odd jar

But he was forced to wait
until a table for eight

But his thirst made him wander afar


He got a job with the packers
putting bikkies in packs of Cream Crackers

'Twas all fun and games

Er, I'm lost - someone want to recap the current limerick, please.

He got a job with the packers
Putting bikkies in packs of Cream Crackers
'Twas all fun and games

OK over to you GL

TRIQUACK, I think it would make it less confusing if you only posted one line at a time for lines 1, 2 and 5, and only maybe post two lines for 3 and 4 - is that clear as mud, or am I having a senior moment

Thanks.


He got a job with the packers
Putting bikkies in packs of Cream Crackers
'Twas all fun and games
But it wasn't the same

Since his teammates turned out to be slackers!

'Tis the season when Spirits start rising.

And burglars, doors start a prising

With an eye what to steal

Or just a free meal

Their faces they will be disguising


It's fun to dress up and go calling

Then drunkenly go about, falling

with a gin in one hand

And some crisps would be grand

But next morning can be quite appalling.



These poems seem to stagger and sway

And proliferate while I'm away

The problem with booze
is there's so much to choose!
