I’ve been as busy as a bee
You see I’m tracing my family tree
It’s looking a little bleak
My great grandfather it seems was freak
Let out on view for a fee
I was going to write a limerick reply, but could think of anything sensible or clean to rhyme with "baroque". I do hope folk will keep adding to this thread - it's gone mighty quiet lately...
How about another challenge as "minx" has dried up?
[opens dictionary] A limerick containing the word "wonder" [second word; first was four syllables].

I wonder if a lonely cloud could fly
O'er vale and hill, resplendent in the sky.
The daffodils so golden
would the sunshine then embolden.
Such picturesque display could make folk cry.

(Still around, but work is mad at the moment)
One wonders if rhyming 'baroque'
could perhaps be the cause of a block.
Although often it's spoke,
So it sounds like bar-oak
Which would make my first line a sure crock.
a boastful old man from Down Under
rose to mimic a great crash of thunder
so I looked to his mouth
but he said: “further south”
[and his bending HAD caused me to wonder]
It’s surprising the names we choose
Allowing others to ponder and muse
Though often I wonder
Was it through pure blunder
‘Baroque’ – What a name to enthuse
there was a girl singer called Spooner
I would have caught on so much sooner
and had much better luck
had I known "Friar Tuck"
was a message from that gorgeous crooner

A limrick is never too late;
you just had too much on your plate!
The last one was May.
That's three months, but hey!
who's counting? You're doing just great!
