Pic me please!
I've promised my niece and nephew a picnic in a fortnight's time.
I think I've more chance of winning than getting the weather to enjoy it.

I would love to win a picinic hamper to share with all my lovely neighbours who have helped myself and my children so much since the recent death of my husband. A picnic would really cheer us all up.

Congratulations to the winners, and many thanks to all for entering, especially to those of you that put in the time and effort to compose a limerick for the occasion. Your contributions have been greatly appreciated (I'll compile a thank you thread and tweet a few of them later if you don't mind!).

My colleague misheard me and now looks puzzled as to why Im so excited at the prospect of winning a hamster...I have no intention of correcting her. I like hamsters too.

If you like we could throw in a hamster, but it could complicate things... Especially if you value the contents of the hamper...

Thanks again everybody, and have a great Know Your Neighbour weekend! (I've embedded the youtube video of the launch below if anyone wants to check it out)

All the best,

David.

I would like to win this fab hamper
So my husband, I could pamper
It's five years since we wed
And he's kept me well fed
In return maybe I'll get some Campers

To win this hamper would fill me with glee,
I could have my picnic, carefree,
If the skies got cloudy,
Or my neighbours got rowdy,
I could stick em with a fork in the knee!

Electric Ireland are giving out hampers,
To some lucky boards.ie campers,
If I were to win,
What I would put in,
Would be loads of strawberries and champers!!

A hamper for me is what i'd like
So I could put it on the back of me bike
to the park I would go
with herself in tow
sponsored by Hampers & Co rather than Nike

If I could be given a fabulous hamper,
I would most definitely be a happy camper,
The weather is so dull,
Bored out of my skull,
With a picnic I could me and my friends pamper!

There was a young Boardsie from Cork
Who's neighbours all thought him a dork
To lessen the damper
He gave them a hamper
With sausages made out of pork

Oh for a day in the sun,
My friends and I having some fun,
Picnic in the park,
Having a lark,
Looking at all the girls bums!

I new a sad lady that needed a friend
So I called on a neighbour- a pal I could lend
They needed a pamper
So I sent over a hamper
And that's how their beautiful friendship happened

While having a chat with my neighbour
She asked me to do her a favour
Could you write me a rhyme
That ESB finds sublime
So I'll win a that nice basket to savour

Irish Summers can be hot and be baltic
But Summers still time for a picnic
So armed with scones, cream and jam
rolls, cheese, pickles and ham
Factor 30, a brolly - Enjoy and write Limericks

So its time for Macra's know your neighbour.
An excuse for craic with no labour.
With a lovely hamper from ESB Electric,
Even though Irish weather is somewhat ecclectic,
We'll have a fantastic day to savour!

In honour of my neighbours:

He said 'tis great weather for hay'
As they met at the close of the day
In the back arse of nowhere
Farmers have a fair flare
For hampering* on that way

My picnic would be at a castle
Cos sand in the food is such hassle
I'll sit on a rug
and swat at the bug
who keeps buzzing around my red apple!

There’s a girl I know from Tralee
I’d ask her to picnic with me
If we get on well
And her feet don’t smell
I’d bring her back home for coffee

NickiRose wrote:

Oh to have a picnic hamper
Full of melamine and plastic
I'd bring it everywhere I go
From Cork to Inisbofin
So the kids and I could picnic very often

I’ll ask my neighbours to a televised match
To our friendship it will add quite a catch
To be sitting with flags
And our sangwitches in our bag
And my money will avoid quick dispatch

I think I would blow a gasket,
If I don't win the picnic basket,
Id travel this little green island,
With the power supplied by electric Ireland,
Enjoying sandwiches and tea by the sea,

I love to picnic the park
While having a buzz and a lark
Few tinnies for me
But nowhere to pee
I guess I'll just wait till its dark
