Limerick 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

With the site's change in format I missed seeing this new word. I'll try to write something.

Did I miss something? I don’t see anything different in the format except for that one missing forum…

Only non-‘em rhyme I can come up with is the
Civil War battle site Antietam.

So 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."

I'll give it another six months and if there are no more then good or bad yours will be declared winner.

Did you see mine from last week? No, not that one, the other one.

Given that the only other limerick posted has been withdrawn either your Streatham or Las Vegas limerick is currently a certain winner as they are the only ones received.

27 days and one limerick. I’ll give it another decade and declare a winner.

I'll try again, but no guarantees. The rhyme in the one I deleted wias too obscure.

For those still thinking it’s too hard to rhyme...

Bet ‘em
Get ‘em
Let ‘em
Met ‘em
Net ‘em
Pet ‘em
Set ‘em
Wet ‘em
Vet ‘em
Forget ‘em
Beset ‘em
Reset ‘em
Abet ‘em

Etc etc etc

You could even try "Sir or Madam" with an affected British accent
