The lurkers who don't make a post
Could do something more than just coast
They could put a rhyme
On this thread just in time
To prevent the collapse of its host.

This thread looks as if the contributors could write a good limerick or two on the subject of their bacchanalian revels or drunken forays, whichever you prefer. probably there's a more modern phrase that fits but I don't know it. how about adding to the limerick thread??Surely a song or two, or some...

Any literary talent out there? Try writing a limerick about CH. If no one else posts I'll just keep adding to it myself from time to time when I'm on the forum and nothing else appeals. When I've had aenough I'll get the topic deleted. Here's one to start it off: Praise the Lord for the good old fou...
