Perpetual Limerick (:3=

@spikepipsqueak,

The pumpkins are glowing tonight
And many will have a great fright
They will squeal and enjoy
Every hair raising ploy
And hope their homes aren't burned for spite

I don't have a new first line, I just got tired of seeing the old limerick, so I ended it. Feel free to start another one.

Uh oh, looks like you or I might be accused of breaking wind soon, McTag.

And now it's got colder
I wish I was coated and hatted.

(Americans call a jacket a "coat", I believe, so what do you call a coat? An "overcoat"? Life is puzzling.)

I don't call my trousers my "pants"

@McTag,

A jacket, coat, and blazer refer to the same thing. Usually, if it matches the trousers it's called a coat, as in suit coat. If it doesn't match it's called a jacket, sports jacket/coat, or blazer. If it's a particularly bright color, then it's usually called a blazer and you see a lot of used car salesmen in them.
An overcoat is much longer and usually worn when it's cold.

I don't call my trousers my "pants"
Even if they are full of ants

A shirt is a shirt,
Even covered in dirt

And a tv remote is a 'clicker'

Which was not, exactly, against all odds

As five o'clock tea is a British tradition

@Francis,

As five oclock tea is a British tradition
which does much to improve one's mood and condition
Now you're warm versus cold
No longer stressed, or too old
To enjoy acts some would consider sedition...

(Francis - that was some syllable count - I just followed your lead
