and suddenly, then I said "phew"...
(New diversion - a limerick where all five lines have to rhyme!)

OK new start (assuming the all-lines-rhyme rule)

A girl, while attempting a stunt

She gave up the hunt
This new rule makes it much more difficult to think of a rhyme.
Not that I am complaining

Shelly, would you like to start a new all-lines-rhyme limerick?
Limericks
RangaKoo Posted Aug 25, 1999
Well, it appears annonymouse has already don that with a conversation called "a girl" and there's also another one called "New Start: L-game"
But due to popular request I will make a new game for all lines rhyming games - I shall call it "All Lines Rhyme Game" (original huh?)

Haven't got time
for all lines rhyme

if slightly sublime
is it a crime?

Apologies for any misunderstanding, folks! It wasn't intended as a new rule, just a comment on the fact I found myself adding to a limerick which already had three lines rhyming! However, if there IS a new all-rhyming thread (a sort of anti-Hikau game) I want to know about it!
