BobHaleLimerick Game (Not Las Vegas) : Streatham
Pronunciation guide - it is an English place name and would rhyme with “let ‘em” or “get ‘em” etc
You can try Las Vegas if you wish but I tried it and couldn’t do it

Anything and everything confuses me, Hab!

BobHaleSo far I have precisely zero limericks.
Bob asked folks for limericks on Streatham
Where most of the rhymes end in "et 'em"
Much later he sighed
"No one's even tried,
Well if they want to forget 'em, I'll let 'em."

BobHaleGiven that the only other limerick posted has been withdrawn either your Streatham or Las Vegas limerick is currently a certain winner as they are the only ones received.
