Giertrud
and make you a big mess.
KagomeShuko
I've ne're time to play this game
Spangle
For that we're truly pleased
Software
So this line isn't really here
Phil
It's just something I sneezed
Spangle
laughs out loud
Rosie
I wish I were a sewer rat
irach
Just lolling in the muck
Software
To live in filth is
de rigeur
Spangle
If fragrant you're a schmuck
mercy killing - ain't it curious how some of these little ditties just take off and others hang around like a smell on a landing ..
penelope
I wish I were a landing smell
yeah... oblig.
Software
Pervading everywhere
Rosie
My sulphuretted compounds
Raak
Would announce Kilroy was there.
irach
I wish I were a poultergeist
penelope
A ghost of chickens past
Giertrud
I'd just pull off my drumsticks
Software
Then headlessly run fast
Rosie
I wish I were a tuba
Raak
With a 'normous shiny bell
Software
My basso tones will resonate
Rosie
And make your life sheer hell.
This has sat here for 9 days so I've finished it myself. I wouldn't say it was a particularly difficult one.
Raak
I wish I were an endgame
Time, gentlemen?
penelope
A glow-worm's final thrust
irach
The last bright glimmer in the dark
KagomeShuko
Arising from the dust
Chalky
Why kill it? It moves faster than any other game in MC5.
Chalky
I wish you'd all just go away

I know just what you mean
Software
You're really getting up my nose
Rosie
Like Elton John, great queen.
Giertrud
My phone ate the "whoops" button
Giertrud
didn't realize we were missing our dividing line
My phone ate the "whoops" button
KagomeShuko
It thought it was delicious
(this is the 2nd line - the first is "my phone at the whoops button)
Raak
It tasted of old mutton
Software
Which makes me feel suspicious
Spangle
I wish to make a statement
Simons Mith
That will edify the press:
Rosie
"I've got loads of money -
penelope
Most people have got less."
Rosie
I wish I were a paintbrush
Raak
Thrust deep in thick, thick paint
Software
I'd spread it 'cross your canvas
penelope
But an oil painting? You ain't.
Spangle
I need some inspiration
CdM
My mind has drawn a blank
Knobbly
Has anyone got any thoughts
Rosie
I did have, but they stank.
Knobbly
(Rosie has cleverly made my move look like I forgot the question mark.)
penelope
[Knobbers]
That's cut-throat competitve poetry for you. Well - doggerel dogfights, anyhoo.
It's funny how your brightest thoughts
Raak
Are had while in the bath
Rosie
These musings land one in the courts
(Knobbly)
So you did. I've only just noticed.
(pen)
Knobbers? Knobbers?? You're dir'y.
Software
If played out before a hearth
Broad "a" mode.
Rosie
I wish I were a lawyer
CdM
Who travels place to place
Software
Distributing fee notes
irach
And winning every case
Rosie
I'm glad I'm not a banker
Software
For bonuses I hate
penelope
Those coins weigh down my pockets
Raak
And make me very late.
Spangle
Beware the Jabberwock my son!
irach
His eyes are all aflame
Raak
Be bold, and with your vorpal sword
Juxtapose
Restore our family name.
Spangle
This recipe for meatloaf
Raak
Needs garlic -- twenty cloves
Rosie
This means that it can stop a train
penelope
And empty it, in droves
Hmmm. Maybe someone else could have done it better.
Software
I wish that I could write a verse
[pen] good result given the circumstance
Spangle
In praise of paradigms
penelope
But that would clearly be peverse
Rosie
So just do one that rhymes.
penelope
I wish that I were far away
Raak
In fabled Samarkand
Phil
I'd grab a passing camel
Software
And ride across the sand
KagomeShuko
I've learned why these are called glowworms
CdM
(Though I haven't quite mastered the form)
Software
Though they're nothing like a limerick
Spangle
Nobody really notices if I add an extra beat or two - hang on, where's me mate?
penelope
So why am I a glowworm?
come and have a go if you think you're hard enough
Rosie
Because, by night, you shine
Simons Mith
Your arse emits a friendly light
irach
That almost outshines mine
Rosie
I wish I were a pot-hole
(irach) Er, we'll be the judge of that. :-)
Raak
To lie in wait for bikes
penelope
I lure unwary pedallers
[p, R, SM, i] marvellous. And not just because it's apparently in praise of me :o)
Software
Then I leaps out and strikes
Simons Mith
Today's the day the Aintree nags
Rosie
Leap o'er Becher's Brook
penelope
And bookies take their money bags
CdM
To fill with takings took
Software
I beat the bookies at their game
penelope
My stake went on a silly name
And when the first horse passed the post
I was the one who'd won the most
so sorry, it ran away with me
CdM
I wish the odds were better
Rosie
'Gainst life's slings and arrows
(pen) I hope you behaved yourself.
Software
But with the right protection
penelope
The winning margin narrows
Rosie
I wish I were a policeman
Software
Because I am power mad
Raak
My truncheon would be hard and thick
Phil
A lot like me and dad
irach
I wish I were a spotted skunk
Rosie
A weas'lly little stinker
penelope
And smell just like my grandpa stunk
Software
'Tho I'm just a little pinker
Spangle
This break in the proceedings
Phil
Could not have been timed better
Rosie
I'll go and take some readings
(mode = weather nut.)
penelope
And see if it got wetter
awright, Rosie?
Rosie
I wish I were a cloudburst
(pen) Das Wetter ist sehr trocken.
Raak
I'd rain all over you
Software
With splishy-sploshy raindrops
irach
As big as drops of dew
Simons Mith
The sun today is very hot
Raak
But the air is very cold
Rosie
Sunburn, frostbite, all at once
nfras
But where? You shan't be told
penelope
I'm working very hard today
Raak
At writing deathless prose
Software
I'm trying to clear my desk, you see
Rosie
Of all that is verbose.
Simons Mith
The midnight oil's all been burned

Adding to greenhouse gases
Rosie
The textbook pages have been turned
Giertrud
By studious lads and lasses.
nfras
The time has come for all good men
Raak
To join in our just cause
penelope
And if we find agreement, then
Software
We'll campaign to change the laws
nfras
Good women too, are needed here
KagomeShuko
They add that feminine touch
Kim
As long as they don't get ideas
penelope
And wear the trousers much
*steams*
Rosie
I wish I were a referee
(pen) Not surprised. Get some water in the boiler - quick.
Software
I rule with rod of steel
CdM
Don't hesitate to show the red
