bucket with a purple towel

jokey – you are completely mad ! thank you

Ok.. I can’t resist! Here goes 🙂
It’s a bucket by a bin.
it’s got a purple towel in.
and a lady in the background
has a purple jacket around.
Funkypancake, you always make me grin!!

Jokey, your chosen metre makes a true limerick impossible, but I can provide a fifth line…
It’s a bucket by a bin,
It’s got purple towel in.
And a lady in the background
Has a purple jack around,
Fifth line conjured up by Vin.
Well, that’s no good, so here’s a verse in non-limerick form which perhaps uses more of fp’s original words/ideas:
It’s a bucket (by a bin)
With a purple towel in.
Lady’s jacket, purplish-pink –
Kinda spooky, doncha think?
And here’s a more traditional-type limerick, but it’s really beyond me to squeeze all the elements from the picture into just one verse…
There was a young bucket of London,
Who stumbled, crying “Oh, I am undone!”
A bin standing near
Whispered “Don’t worry, dear,
My mother fell into a Grundon*.”
*Grundon is the largest privately owned waste management company in the UK and their skips/dumpsters are a common sight in the south east.
And just in case you can’t make it scan, the emphasis should fall like so:
There WAS a young BUcket of LONdon,
Who STUmbled, crying “OH, I am UNdone!”
A BIN standing NEAR
Whisper’d “DON’t worry, DEAR,
My MOther fell INto a GRUndon*.”
And finally, a children’s clapping chant I overheard in the park the other day:
“Funkypancake see a dog
Take a photo for the blog
Dog leave pancake on the grass
Funky kick him up the road for a short distance”
Kids today, huh?

great!!!
