There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog;
He was too full to croak,
And could no longer float,
So he sank up to his chin in the bog.
Have a lovely weekend. X
Hahahahaha…. brilliant. xxx
You have made my day as I like be frogs! Having to work today, it is beautiful outside so was feeling down as I want to be outside, but you have cheered me up with your frogs!
Looking forward to tomorrow to groovi Scotland with Emma. Looking forward to learning lots and lots while catching up with my crafty friends!
Hello Fiona. Looking forward to tomorrow too. No pressure!!! Xxx
Have a great day Emma and your Groovi ladies xxx
Thank you very much Lisa. Xxxx
Enjoy your week end
There once was a lazy green frog
Who drank far too much strong eggnog
Dave played him a tune
So he started to croon
Buggar off and give Barbara a snog "
Like the P.S. I'm no good at limericks but I know from past competitions that there will be some really funny ones. Looking forward to the shows tomorrow.
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog;
He jumped and he hopped,
Then down he did flop.
Saying I think I will just sit here and sing Rivet!!
Have a great weekend Barbara. I know I will!!! Xxx
There once was a lazy green frog
Who drank way to much strong eggnog
He went for a snog to be turned to a Prince
But instead ended up getting frogalised.
(Don't drink and hop)!!!

Hello Barb,
Have a great weekend and I'll pop in to keep Paul company, wouldn't want him to feel lonely. I'm too jiggered to give the limerick a go after spending a few days away with crafting friends like our Diane (or Dainty as I like to call her, although she towers over my 5'2"!!!). Alison, shhh we were rooting for Sunderland but don't tell my son in law!
Oh, all right, here goes.
There once was a lazy green frog
Who drank far too much strong eggnog
It gave him double vision for days
So he changed his ways
And now plays with his friends in the bog!!
love Maureen xxx
Hello Maureen, now do I tell them about you chatting up young men and getting photographed by the local constabulary 😀😀😀. Lots of love xxx
There once was a lazy green frog
Who drank far too much strong eggnog
He saw a good movie
And felt really Groovi
Then crafted on into the night
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog;
He tried to be Groovi
But couldn't really movee (!)
And now he's stuck in a bog!
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog;
It made him feel wheezy
and then very queasy
And he spent all night on the bog!
Enjoy your weekend off Barb and Dave – well deserved. I'll try to catch up with Paul in between painting window frames outside.
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog
It upset his tummy
His poo was all runny
And vile was the smell of the smog!
Oh dear – it must be the ex-nurse in me coming out! X
cor blimey. Graphic or what?!?!!? xxhahaha
I do love the creative poets. Enjoy your weekend.
There once was a lazy green frog
who drank way too much egg nog
The silly drunk lad
Slipped off of his pad
and landed face down in the bog
this is fab! xxx
I love this one Claire.xx
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog;
He said, from his knees,
Barb will you help me pleeeeeeze
I must find my way to the bog
hahahaha
Apologies if this offends anyone!
There once was a lazy green frog
Who drank way too much strong eggnog
He fell down on the grass
Flat out on his arse
And dreamt he was in love with a dog
hahaha brill xx
These are definitely getting more risqué! Was tempted but thought I'd keep it clean:
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog,
Next day was a joke
He thought he would croak
But was cured with a hair of the dog
fab! xx
There once was a lazy green frog
Who drank way too much strong eggnog
As he lay in his bed
Whilst elephants tap danced in his head
He was inspired to start writing a blog
hahahaahaxx
Okay. Can't resist after all..
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog
When he met a princess
He took off her dress
as he wanted much more than a snog
Brilliant. You are so bad! Xxxx
Hello Barbara, hope your weekend is calmer than recent ones. I am off to Maria's Catterick class tomorrow -yay – so will have to give Paul my apologies unless there is TV in the hall. Will get him on catch up later.
Here goes…
There once was a lazy green frog,
Who drank way too much strong eggnog;
He downed the whole flagon,
Didn't fall off the wagon
But certainly fell off his log!
Chris xx
Aaaw, I'm gutted that I didn't know about this!! Have a brilliant day xx
She has a class every month Morag. I went for the first time last month and everyone was so friendly and Maria was lovely. Her email address was on the last club newsletter but I'm sure if you rang Clarity they would give you the details, xx
That is excellent! Xxx
Love your Limerick Chris. I'll get Maria's e-mail from the newsletter. Thank you xx
There once was a lazy green frog,
Who drank way too much strong eggnog,
As he staggered and swayed
Singing songs, as he played
I'm a happy and drunken green frog !!
�������������� xx
Hahaha, another goodn!

Hoppy Friday to the lovely Barbara and team 🙂 x
HI everyone you have made me chuckle this afternoon, fantastic efforts from everyone.
I hope you will soon feel a lot better Barb, and I am sure a restful weekend will do you the power of good.
I have been trying to get a walk in each day ( 2 days in a row) even out in the rain to "get away" from it all.
Nearly ready to up load my entry for the challenge tomorrow, and hope to get out in the garden over the weekend.
crafty hugs and big hugs to all my blog friends.

Evening pen looking forward to your challenge entry hope you have a peaceful weekend xxx

In fact, even bopping
Then slipped right off his Yule Log
Hugs xxx
Replied to your reply above xx
Evening morag hope your feeling a lot better and able to craft xxx

There once was a lazy green frog
Who drank way too much strong eggnog
He said "I do love a Snowball
In a glass straight and tall
But I don't like any other grog"
Enjoy your weekend everyone x
Brilliant!
There once was a lazy green frog
Who drank way too much strong eggnog
He tripped on his flipper
Turned into a kipper…
Ended up as breakfast for the dog
Hahaha xxx
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog
With his head in a daze
To get back on winning ways
He looked for a princess to snog!
That is funnnnny xx
Happy to indulge in some frivolity!
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog;
He passed out in a heap,
had a very deep sleep,
but woke for some 'hair of the dog'
Tonbridge Sue
Hahaha x very good x
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog
He wobbled and walked,
Instead of croaking he squawked
And the next day it was all just a fog.
Hmmm not the best but it did remind me of a frog joke:
Customer: Waiter have you got frog legs?
Waiter: No, its just the way I walk!
Have a great weekend. XX
Ha ha love the frog joke xxx
Rofpmsl xxxx

On offer from clarity
Hi Sheila. Love your Limerick. I hope you're having a good day. Hugs xxx
Hi Sheila, having a bit of fun reading all the limericks. I hope you have had a good day. Went to see a cattery today as we are going away in the summer for 2 weeks. Kirri has never been in a cattery before so it is a worry. I happened to mention that I could take all the cats home with me to be told that what she also does Cat Protection re-homing and has two at the moment. So tempted.
Hi morag I've had a restful day hope your feeling better xxx
Hi Julia looks like you will be taking home more than Kirri after your holiday I've been resting xxx
Hi Sheila
Hope you are ok and have had a lovely day. Had lunch out with Emma today, she's flying back to uni tomorrow but will be finished by this time next month. Xxx
Really pleased your having lovley quality time with Emma wish her a safe flight and it won't be long before she is back home hugs xxx
Oh my there are some fabulous limerick endings and love them all, it sure is going to be a hard one to judge, good luck to everyone! Have a great chilled out weekend, I intend to have one too 😉
Hugs
Linda xxx
There once was a lazy green frog
Who drank way too much strong eggnog
He felt a bit silly
'Cos to slide off his lily
Was not his preferred epilogue.
Very good. Cor these are all so funny! I am sitting in the corner of the kitchen with the cat, chuckling, laughing, giggling and there was even a roared out loud in there! excellent
I think we've all had a lot of fun with this!
Evening Sheila, Diane, Pam, Dot, Morag, Gilly and Alison. Hope you are all OK, any crafting this weekend? Gilly you will have to craft something in bed. Xx
Hi Donna. Hope you're settled back into work and enjoying it. xxx
Hi Morag, two weeks back already, how did that happen! I do enjoy it, always different and children always make life fun and interesting. Xx
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog;
He met a French toad,
Took her to his abode;
And the next day appeared in her blog.
Love it, Aud!! 🙂
Hi Barb,
here is my limerick – a bit rude I would say…
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog.
He was dancing and prancing
and flapping and clapping.
At the end he was honking a lot.
Rolf xxx
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way to much strong egg nog;
Too squiffy to get home,
round the pond he did roam,
And, oh my! Gave a toad a big snog!
Enjoy your weekend xxx
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog
he sat under a tree
where the lady frogs be
and asked all for a snog!
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog;
He scared Natti the toad
Who crawled into the road
And was carried away by a dog
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog,
He felt so sad,
Stretched out in his pad,
And feeling as sick as a dog.
A nice quiet weekend for me too, my Sunday lunch is being cooked for me, so looking forward to that. Hope you get that well earned rest. xx
There once was a lazy green frog
Who drank way too much strong egg no
He said to his mate
Gotta cancel me date
Cause I'm gonna be all night on the bog.
Xxx
Luv Yvonne
There once was a lazy green frog
who drank way too much strong eggnog.
He wandered on home,
completely alone,
listening to his own monologue.
Happy weekend to everyone 🙂 Mxx
Evening Brenda, have a good weekend. Xx
A touch more Friday Frolics –
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog;
More than usually green –
you can picture the scene
as he tried to romance a log.
Tonbridge Sue
I' really sorry for this but my husband came up with this one.
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog
His thirst he did quench
But his buttocks did clench
So he sat on the pan and dropped a big log
ROFLMAO!!!! Brilliant. x
OMG!!!!!! hahahahaaha
There once was a lazy green frog,
Who drank way too much strong eggnog;
He croaked and he hopped,
And gave a big fart,
Then started all over again
Must be a male lol
Lovely to meet you at ally pally barb
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog;
He had a quick kip,
Took another small sip
And then tried to make love to a log!
There once was a lazy green frog,
Who drank way too much strong eggnog,
Dreamt he was a bee,
Woke up on a tree,
Next morning at 8 o'clock.
Poor frog!
I love the frog picture and the witty endings made me laugh. Watching Paul tomorrow and must get my challenge done on Sunday. Have a lovely weekend xx
Hi Barbara
Right we've had a go, family effort, Emma would like the credit for it though !!
There once was a lazy green frog
Who drank way too much strong egg nog
He fell in his cup
And promptly threw up
And ended the night in the bog.
Hope you like it
Love Diane and Emma xxx

hahahaahahaha xxxx
they say laughter is the best medicine, these limericks have certainly made me laugh, here is my effort,
there once was a lazy green frog
who drank way too much strong eggnog
it quickened his pace
and with a smile on his face
turned into a frisky green frog

Hi Barbara, looks like you're all having fun with your limericks. Where's your one Barbara? You should join in too, I'm sure you could come up with some crackers. Glad to hear you and Dave are managing a quieter weekend this week, hope you can manage to switch off for a bit and have some quality time together. Love Brenda xx
Can I ask a wee question – when doing the whitework, once you've done the number 4 tool and rested it, do you just keep repeating this process with the number 3 tool for as many times as it takes to get it proper white? Or am I doing something wrong? Thank you xx
Diane you've got to tell all now!!! Hi my bloggy pals xx
Hi Brenda it's lovely to see you. Maureen is one of the loveliest ladies I've met, very gentle, but not adverse to chating up a nice young man on the train to open the window for her! The local constabulary were drinking a coffee in our hotel and were accosted to take a group photo of us all, there was a lot of chatter and laughter so they were chatting to us and were amazed we had met through a craft blog and had become such good friends even though we live miles apart. I hope you are ok, sounds like you are enjoying your groovi xxx
Hello Brenda, how lovely to see you. I've somehow managed to miss you for nearly a week!! As for the whitework, I personally just keep going back in with the smaller tool(number 3), but I think everyone will have their own preferences. I find the longer I leave it, the whiter it becomes when I go over it. I hope that helps a little. Big Hugs xxx
Hello dear blog friend hugs for you and daisy good to know your enjoying your groovi xxx
Hi just watching paul church on hochanda he just said the white work go in with ball number 4 then leave for half hour go in with 3 and keep doing that till you get where you want to be hope this helps or you get to watch him it's where he has done the large bird after colouring it in and cut it out that he tells you this xxx
Thank you 🙂 xx
Sounds like the policemen enjoyed your banter Diane, probably makes a pleasant change from what they usually have to put up with eh! xx
Thanks for the whitework info Morag and Sheila. I'll keep going!!! I can take my time when something requires that, but it seems I need to see proper results for my efforts!!! Maybe the Groovi isn't for me after all! But whitework is only one part, I guess when I add in pricking and cutting and colouring in and stuff I'll be seeing results as I go. I'm going to watch Paul's shows on catch up so I'll look out for this bit Sheila. Hope you are both feeling better, and your appointment comes soon Sheila xx
There once was a lazy green frog
Who drank way too much strong eggnog
He danced a jig
Along the back of a pig
Until he fell asleep on the back of the hog.
Janine
There once was a lazy green frog
Who drank way too much strong eggnog
He flipped on his back
Stayed there, quite flat
Till he Called for a hair of the dog!
At this time of the morning it's the best I can do! Have a good weekend xx
There once was a lazy green frog
Who drank way too much strong eggnog
He lay in a stupor
Thinking what did I do that for
Still on the upside he'd gained fame in Barbara's daily blog!
Ann x
Hi Barb, well those pictures really made me laugh, so did the 2 jokes at the bottom. Mmmmm, will have to see if my brain kicks in with something funny. Have a great weekend. Bx
Hi I've just thought of another one
apologies if it offends anyone
There once was a lazy green frog
Who drank way too much strong eggnog
He fell flat on his arse
in the long grass
now he's famous on Barbara's Blog
Thought I'd give it a go for once, since I usually don't see these competitions in time to enter. Here goes…
There once was a lazy greeen frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog,
he attempted a swim,
but just fell right in,
and clonked his poor bonce on a log!
Hope you like it Barbara, and have a lovely weekend!
There once was a lazy green frog
Who drank way too much strong eggnog;
This changed his sex, shape and size
And to everyone's surprise
He is now known as Mrs Grog!
There once was a lazy green frog
who drank too much strong eggnog
he lay by the pool to keep himself cool
but later was as sick as a dog.
Nice to hear you have actually got the time to chill a little Barb, I think you both deserve a chillaxing day. There are so many fabulous limericks here that I'm not sure I should even bother with mine lol. Julia's made me actually LOL.
Anyhoo, here goes:
There once was a lazy green frog
Who drank too much strong eggnog
He got totally drunk
Made love to a skunk
Now they've both got a wee baby skog!
Have a fabulous weekend.

There once was a lazy green frog
Who drank way too much strong eggnog
On the way home he fell over a dog
And sank in a bog in the fog.
This is addictive Barb, …..
There once was a lazy green frog
Who drank way too much strong eggnog
Smiling as he burped and
then in a big hurry
His mates scattered & left in a scurry
As he made a huge dash for the bog.
Hope you're enjoying your chillax!
I don't often manage to complete your limericks but, on this occasion, an ending suddenly came to me, as follows:
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog
He got totally plastered,
'twas fun while it lasted,
till he was bit getting hair of the dog
However, I think my other half, Gary, came up with a much better offering:
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog;
Whilst in a drunk trance,
He booked a shuttle to France –
And now he really knows the meaning of being legless!!
hahahahaha. Now THAT one made me curl up!!!!!!
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog;
He then had some gin
he fell down on his chin
and somehow ended up on this blog
Hi Barbara, I hope you're enjoying your chillax. I've been reading your blog for a while but never been brave enough to comment before – so I hope I'm doing this right!
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog
Well he's lazy, he's smelly
and he drinks from a welly.
But the princess still gave him a snog!
Have a fab weekend everyone
Carolyn x
I hope you are enjoying your weekend as much as I am! Here is my limerick
There once was a lazy green frog,
who drank way too much strong eggnog;
He failed to go courting,
And now he he is sporting,
A face that is quite hangdog.
Happy Days,
Lesley
There once was lazy green frog,
Who drank way too much strong eggnog,
As he danced on a log he started to cough,
It caught him off guard and he quickly fell off,
So he hopped up the road for a hotdog.
Fantastic all the limericks well done everyone…
