#8bitLimerick
There once was a miner called Willy,
whose life had become rather silly.
He tunnelled the ground
for his mind to get sound,
but only got more and more killy.

Jet Set Willy - #8bitLimerick:

Back from his time underground,
he partied with folks all around.
But people were cold,
they'd spent all his gold
and come morning nowhere to be found.

#LeisureSuitLarry – In the Land of the Lounge Lizards
#8bitLimerick

There once was a fella with luv-thirst.
He bravely stalked who could be first.
Thinking "how easy"
though Larry, too cheasy –
his manner but notably his wurst.

Rightly so. 😉
I've done one for 'Manic Miner' and 'Leisure Suit Larry', as well, here: #8bitLimerick
More will come, and other peeps could/should join in too. 🤗

I didn't know 'Yorkshire' was an affliction? 🤪
But miners, yeah, there ought to be a Thatcher level.

I never actually completed it as a kid (maybe level 15).
But I did write an #8bitLimerick for #ManicMiner recently:
There once was a miner called Willy,
whose life had become rather silly.
He tunnelled the ground
for his mind to get sound,
but only got more and more killy.
