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.

It's best to use a car instead

And etch your verse on bonnets [Software] "Can say what they like"? (three poems ago) Am I missing something subtle?

I wish I were a jam jar

Packed with jellied berry filling

Then I'd feel the rock star

Who liked young girls quite willing [Phil] yes

I wish that I were clever

And won a Nobel prize

I'd then become quite famous

And get away with lies. . . . cynical old bugger . . .

I wish I were a liar

Alas, though, I lack guile

But what I miss in cunning

I make up for with pure style

I've only ever once been caught

With my trousers down - J,R,E,C - nice :o)

The trial was held at County Court

With my boxer shorts stained brown

I wish I were a magistrate

A-sending folks to hang

I'd be acting ultra vires

But I just don't give a dang (y'all)

I wish I were immortal [Phil] I'm as confused as you are, btw.

And immoral would help too

I'd sin for all eternity [CdM] Thank god, it's not just me :-)

The bill would ne'er come due.

I wish I was a shuttlecock

Winging back and forth

My feathers start off perky

Then end up pointing north [CdM, Phil] It's me as well :-)

I wish such obfuscation - I've been waiting for ages to post that word

Would be more oft eschewed

For spurious complication

Is moral turpitude. We are the New Puritans. Aaaaaghh!

[C,R,p,R] Excellent. I've said more than once that to be a good citizen in the morniverse, particularly in poetry games, you need to know when not to post. This morning I wrote the line "Well -- I just think it's rude" to finish that last glowworm, but upon previewing I thought, 'well, that's ok, but I bet someone else can do better'. So I deleted my line, and -- sure enough -- Rosie came along with one that was ten times better. Oh, and while I am it, applause also to S,P,R for the immor(t)al one.
