Ok.

There was once a dancer called Belle
She didn't say anything, she yelled.

[Daisy]

But now it doesn't rhyme! How about :

There once was a dancer called Belle
Who didn't say anything but yell

[Trevor]

There once was a dancer called Belle
Who didn't say anything but yell
She tripped on her skirt;
Messed up her shirt
And down in a tumble-heap fell.

[Nair Snehalatha]

Can I try my hand here?---
There was an old fat man called Bert

[Poppy]

There was an old Fat man called Bert
Who thought it clever to wade through dirt.

[Nair Snehalatha]

There was an old fat man called Bert
who thought it clever to wade through dirt
his wife was an old nag

[Poppy]

There was an old fat man called Bert
who thought it clever to wade through dirt
his wife was an old nag
A bad tempered hag

[deepeabee]

There was an old fat man called Bert
who thought it clever to wade through dirt
his wife was an old nag
A bad tempered hag
Who slapped until it hurt!

[Nair Snehalatha]

lets start again-
Julian and I went up the hill together

[Nair Snehalatha]

Julian and I went up the hill together
and we both sat down on the heather
And Dick came by
and said a Hi
and we talked about the weather

I found the limerick untouched after quite a few days-- so completed it.

[Nair Snehalatha]

Lets start another ---
In the merry month of May

[Nair Snehalatha]

We have not finished this limerick
In the merry month of May
When it is lovely to make hay

[Daisy]

In the merry month of May
When it is lovely to make hay
And birds are singing

[Lucky Star]

In the merry month of May
When it is lovely to make hay
And birds are singing
And bells are ringing

[Daisy]

In the merry month of May
When it is lovely to make hay
And birds are singing
And bells are ringing
Everyone's happy all day.

To all Young 'uns and learners - The above is not a true limerick as the lines are too short. The first 2 and last one should have 8 or 9 syllables. Lines 3 and 4 should have 5.
So the above could be:

In the bright and merry month of May
When the farmers start making their hay
The birdies all sing
And church bells do ring
So everyone's happy all day.

(This isn't quite right as the last line has only 8 and the first 2 have 9 syllables but it still sounds okay as the rhythm is there.)
