Next up is the German town of Cologne, renowned for its overpowering aroma.

Send me a PM with your ideas.

Shall we use the German pronunciation and spelling, umlaut and all?

I'll ask Kalleh to translate.

Will get you one, Proof. I am going to pronounce it Ca-LOAN. is that how you pronounce it, Proof? or is this going to be another one where we all pronounce them differently?

Given that rhyming the German pronunciation would literally be impossible in English, I'd suggest we use the English pronunciation.

I have sent through a couple hoping to pull off a Proof and have a tie with myself.

In January we had a limerick game on Tooleybuc, well after running 3rd 3 times in a row, and most recently 2nd, the racehorse Tooleybuc Kid broke through for a win today.

All very quiet at Wordcraft of late? Any Cologne limericks apart from my 2 yet Proof?

So far Greg is the undisputed winner since no one else has entered. Let's get on the stick.

Finally, yours truly's is in.

How many now, Proof?

three, so at least it's a game.

Too bad Geoff has been having trouble with his Internet connection.

I've been sick for 2 wks--up & running again. Will submit 1 shortly, & working on another.

I now have six, counting my own. I think it an estimable quality that Bethree5 summons the strength to leave her deathbed and compose an entry. Why can't the more healthy among us do likewise?

Just checking - you did get mine, didn't you?

I shall post the new game Saturday to give anyone else time to submit. Please don't wait until the last minute. Once the gates close, no one will be allowed on the train.

"New Game"? - bit presumptuous of you to assume you are going to win again, but it wouldn't surprise if you did.

"No one will be allowed on the train" - trouble is I've been waiting on the platform for a whole bloody fortnight for the announcement that "this train is ready for boarding", scared that if I sneak off for ablutions or a bite to eat, the train might take off without me.

I've submitted three...

Now boarding at Gate Three.

And here I was thinking I was getting on a train, to find out now that it's a plane.

Train service to outlying continents is limited.
