Number 475 in the book - try a cryptic crossword

Holy guacamole! Or should I say Mexican Saint-like sauce?

I always thought I had a decent grasp of the English language and I even enjoy a little wordplay. So when I saw the suggestion to try a cryptic crossword I decided that this one would be pretty easy - I was wrong

So far I'm 3 successful clues into a 30 clue crossword, and I've been at it for over half an hour. Not exactly smashing this one, I have to say

Mind you, I am enjoying it. It's a nice challenge and I do feel a bit chuffed with myself when I get an answer. I'm determined to keep going with this and will add my very first ongoing goal of this challenge to my list:

Number 466 in the book - write a limerick

Now I probably have done this one before, but it's been a very long time and I can't recall any that I may have written in the past so I'll give it another go. The instructions say the racier the better but that's not really my bag, so here goes my attempt: There once was a fella called Pete Who had unusually large feet He took lengthy paces And had ropes for his laces The smell was awful in the heat! So, I did enjoy this a little. I'm not entirely happy with the end result but I enjoyed trying to think of the rhyme and rhythm as it's something I rarely do. I don't think it will be a regular hobby but I might have another go on a long train journey in the future.
