'Fill in the Missing Word.'

Here's a competition within a competition. I can't think of a word or words to finish this limerick. Using your skill and judgement, place your word or words within the brackets provided. For example, if you think 'Cup of Tea' would be a good ending, write 'Cup of Tea' within the brackets.

Frank.

There was a young fellow called Fran ...[text shortened]... ousin Ann.

Third prize: Two nights out in Cleethorpes with my cousin Ann.

Good luck everyone!

This is one I wrote at age 15 attending Anchorage HS:

There was an old man from York
who ate his pork with a fork
a friend came by
and slapped his thigh
and he swallowed the fork with the pork

It doesn't rhyme, but I'm going with 'knobbly.'

We're allowing a good deal of poetic license with this one, so you're definitely in with a shout.

daddy is ninety three
that and he can barely see
he stills mows the lawn
calls me padawan
this virus is making me scream

Frank.

There was a young fellow called Frank
Whose love life was totally blank
His lack of success
Put him under duress
to buy a porsche with a loan from the bank



i may have disqualified myself

Harry looked for a sale
Ordered his new bride by mail
She a beauty, tiny and lean
But also just over fourteen
Now Harry does 25 to life in jail

The more I think about Trump
the more my heart goes jump
The things that he said
would raise up the dead
and fall back in one ugly lump

Anyone got one for Barr or Stone?

No but here's another one for the trumpster.

Stop the spread

There's a virus and thousands will die
Please take care, stay home and unite
"It's a hoax!" claimed the Trump
"Do you think I'm that dumb?
I'm going out playing bingo tonight."
