Re:Knightmare Limericks

One forum member should begin a limerick by suppling a furtive first line and four other different forum members should supply the the remaining four lines.

In case anyone doesn't know, a limerick takes the form of a five line poem where lines 1 and 2 are a rhyming couplet, lines 3 and 4 are another rhyming couplet and the final line rhymes with lines 1 and 2.

Oh, and you may be mischevious but not downright rude; but I don't have to tell any of you that!

So, without further ado...

When Treguard said enter stranger
They came in for a lot of danger

They needed a beer
They avoided Lord Fear

Here's another first line (but anyone can start these off by the way) And remember, it's one line at a time...

Tried to use magic

The advisor who sat in the middle,
Tried to use magic
The result was tragic
As Granitas split down the middle

These don't all scan as limerick lines; more effort as regards metre, please. And more effort from me as regards rhyme, because I can't think of anything appropriate that also scans.

It's only a bit of fun. They don't have to be perfect, so long as people are prepared to have a go. Which is more important? Ensuring perfect rhyme and metre or having as many people take part as possible? This being a forum, I would imagine the latter.
