Here are the limericks:

Question:
1
A teenager I know from Durban,
When asked "Watcha doon?" says, "Just verbin'"
Which means 'doing stuff--
Specific enuff!'
"Goin' out?" "Oh, maybe some 'burbin'"

2
An amorous dude down in Durban
Had a dating technique quite disturbin’.
He would rufy his date,
Then he’d mount her mate
And, polite, drop her close to the curbin’.

3
Although Germany's play was superb 'an
They smashed the Australians in Durban,
Like whirring propellers
Those damn vuvuzelas
Are the things that I find most disturbin'.

4
Playing Rock-Paper-Scissors in Durban
Were an Aussie, a German, a Serb an'
Whose number was up,
Much like the World Cup
Was luck and I find that disturbin'.

Australia, Germany and Serbia were all in Group D in the World Cup. G beat A 4-nil in Durban, later S had a 1-all draw with G, and yet A beat S 2-1.

5
While touring South Africa's urban
Divisions, like Cape Town and Durban.
I tried salted meat -
Called "biltong"...not sweet!
I should have disguised it with bourbon!

6
A randy young Sikh down in Durban
Quipped glibly, with manners suburban,
"When getting my rocks off
I might take my socks off -
But I'm damned if I'll take off my turban!"

7
I thought about moving to Durban
Urban Durban? I thought. Or suburban?
"Suburban?" they said,
"But the night life is dead.
Go downtown, where there's plenty of Bourbon."

8
On the tour guide I read out the blurb'n
Got all the lowdown on Durban
I quite fancy a beach
But it must be a peach
And it seems that they have a superb'n.

Choices:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

Since everyone can probably tell it's mine I need to confess now, because I want to correct an error, but I don't want to reset the Poll. Serbia actually beat Germany 1-nil, so it was a true game of Rock-Paper-Scissors with each beating the other.

I will vote right at the end in case that vote needs to break a tie.

It seems silly to keep forging ahead
With the voting that's here in this thread.
There's been voting thrice
Yet the Poll says it's twice,
So I hereby declare this Poll dead.


Regards Greg

I'll lock this thread to stop any more attempted votes. See the new poll posted at https://wordcraft.infopop.cc/ev...10600694/m/894108656


Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
