I'm begining to get a bit nervous here. Can I suggest an addition to the code of conduct on this thread, as follows?

Any post containing derogatory, spiteful or general unpleasantness should be ignored by all, along with its poster, as contrary to the spirit of this game. The limerick then continues from the previous post.
All clear?

A new week's beginning alas
So to brace ourselves let's raise a glass

The storm, it will pass

Grey Mondays sure get one down
In the rain that's down here I could drown
The storm, it will pass

Most humble apologies W4aT, (grovel, cringe, fawn ). You know I wouldn't offend you for the world.

which looks nicer when green and not brown.

Just disdainful glances
If the last line just doesn't scan even slightly...

If your last rhyme's an absolute crime
