I will pick the four best* limericks and then voting will open.
* It's my opinion it might be that others would have picked other limericks, I am a bit of a heathen so don't take it personally if I don't pick yours. In fact you should take it as a compliment.
Here is a brief description of what a limerick is and remember this is supposed to be a little bit of fun so don't get too bogged down with form.
I will be looking for highly original ones, funny one and ones with ish themes.
I will close the competition for entries at 11.00am on Wednesday May 13th (When I get back from the dentist) so there is plenty of time to get yours in. There is no limit to how many you enter.
The prize..... Well Black Dog Publishing have offered us a copy of "growing Stuff". which is a book that will help anyone in their first steps of gardening. It is well presented and reads like a cookbook; what I mean is that it very simple and step by step. I guess if you are trying out new vegetables it will help you out too. It is a little different than most gardening books very contemporay offering advice on how to seed bomb, save seed and even grow out of tea cups! I will say that the further reading and resource section is crap as it does not mention selfsufficientish.com or The selfsufficientish Bible
Oh and black dog publishing are offering a 40% discount to any of you who mention selfsufficientish in your subject heading. email jess@blackdogonline.com. To order a copy.
Anyway here is a limerick to get you started.
There was a website known as ish
That never had any fish
It was run by Andy, Dave and the mods
Who had lost all their rods
Which is why there was never any fish.
I hope you do better as that was terrible.
