With so many enticing rhymes to its name, Bude has been described as “the limerick capital of the world”. You are invited to compose a limerick that includes the name Bude (suitable for a family audience). Here is an example of what can be done with it…

who frequently swam in the nude.
“It’ll bring in the tourists, so let’s not be purists,”
