My sister and I were discussing Penge (don't ask), and I said that its the kind of word that should feature in a limerick. But when I tried, I found out why nobody else had bothered. For nothing (except perhaps henge; not exactly a limerick-friendly word) rhymes with Penge...
There was a young lady from Penge,
Who fell out with her very best frenge.
But the young lady knew
That good frengeships are few,
So decided on making amenge.
I know. Terrible. But it does prove my point.

ReplyDeleteThere was a young lady from Penge
ReplyDeleteDetermined to get her revenge
So, in order to prove
She decided to move
To a little known village in Enge
It really does exist, in Estonia!
Do you know, I never thought of revenge! I congratulate you, !aggie.
DeleteWell done that lady!
DeleteRevenge! Of course.
ReplyDeleteColette, I never even thought of it!
DeleteI love limericks! Can't make them up myself, but I certainly love reading those you come up with occasionally, Frances.
ReplyDeleteAnd Maggie's is great, too!
Meike, Maggie should restart her blog. And write limericks.
DeleteI enjoyed them but am easily pleased.
ReplyDeleteDamning with faint praise, Adrian. But I suppose it was all I deserved...
DeleteThere was a young lady from Penge
ReplyDeleteWhose man was fair set to avenge
The wrongs she had known
When travelling alone
On her way home from Stonehenge
Well done that man!
DeleteThere was a young lady from Penge
ReplyDeleteWho had teeth just like stone henge
They were big and grey
and on midsummer's day
The sun shone through them for a change
It nearly works if you say it in a very posh accent.
Well done!
DeleteCoincidences abound for me this week. I was just rooting in my bookcases for something and I came across Brian Wright's Penge Papers.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds...Dickensian?
DeleteIt was first broadcast on BBC Radio: Confessions of an unwaged metropolitan house-husband.
