Pea and Honey Recipes

help

I Eat My Peas With Honey
And tales of derring-do.
Four lines, they can be rhyming
(That's Glow Worms to me and you).
Ending line is as usual.

If you served that ice-cold muck

I'd assume it was a joke

With such stuff I'll have no truck

I'll stick to rum and coke

Happy hour will soon be here

I'll therefore order double

So whiskey whiskey beer beer

And tons of Dubble Bubble

oops forgot this

I'm glad I'm not a snowflake

For if I was I'd melt

For all of my uniqueness

Could no longer be felt.

I'd rather be inside than out

And up instead of down

The Burj Khalifa's just the place

To enjoy a meaningless poem that doesn't scan, rhyme, or make any sense.

ahem ..
I'd rather be inside than out
And up instead of down
The Burf Khalifa's just the place
A jewel in Dubai's crown

[Chalky] Well done!

My birthday is over quite soon

2 minutes, I believe

And I am still quite sober

I'm in the center of the room

What was the deal with that last line, Botherer? Chalkly completed that poem quite well! Are you bitter?

Alone until October
Now this one really IS a hotchpotch of dodgy scansion, rhyme & sense :) [Raak & Kagome] Ta

KS my apologies, I misread the scansion of your first line as a limerick! It does work as one, if you try hard enough... and I'm often told I'm very trying!

If Botherer had half a brain

The other half being mine

With Chalky's looks, and Néa's books

We'd have a real good time

The child of such a union

Stands very little chance

Of Anglican Communion

Or learning how to dance.

I wish I were a tube train

In tunnels I'd find joy

I lost her there a week ago

Amongst the hoi polloi.

"the hoi polloi" is one of those constructions I normally try to avoid, like "PIN Number" and "ATM machine", as "hoi" means "the", but I'll claim poetic licence on this occasion

(Phil) What about "foot pedal" and "safe haven"? :-)

[Rosie] "foot pedal" is ghastly, "safe haven" I don't have such a problem with, as the "refuge" sense appears to be only 800 years old, much younger than the original meaning of "harbour". Distantly related to the Welsh "Aber-", I wonder, even though we both know that means "estuary"?
