Raak
Watch lichen — a sloth record-beater.
penelope
Today, I am dyeing. It's black...
(re-dying faded black clothes black)
Raak
As a glass of black mild Nutty Slack
Rosie
Its minute albedo
gil
Is just right for sado-
...that was a tricky one, Rosie.
Marc
-lin, Matching my nice Chapeau Claque.
Rosie
(gil) Yeah, a bit clever-clever, but there's
speedo, libido, paedo, lido, credo, Toledo.
KagomeShuko
All my clothes have been eating by moths
penelope
And my shoes have been slothing by sloths
Making a feature out of the quirk of KS's line
Kim
And as for my hats
Raak
They're all nested by bats
Software
So they think I've been haunting by Goths
Marc
We are what we eat we have heard
penelope
So I'm mostly tomatoes and curd
Phil
And I'm a nice curry
Software
I eat in a hurry
cfm
And for me, olives are the last word
Quendalon
The practice of oenomancy
Giertrud
Is one that the Romans did fancy
Chalky
By sharing a cask
Raak
An enquirer could ask
cfm
Which actions were safe and which chancy
Giertrud
A strapping young fellow named Clancy
Chalky
When working the clubs was called Nancy

He strapped while she stripped
KagomeShuko
And flopped while he flipped
Pablo
For the clients who all took his fancy
Chalky
That all-soft'ning o'erpowering knell
Rosie
Means you're on a journey to Hell
Not
you,
m'dear.

Slip into the mire
Raak
To a fate that is dire
Marc
And our trip down the hill ´s going swell.
Marc
There's a gap in my force-field of love
Raak
Through which demons and succubi shove
Phil
It's a worm-hole of lust
Rosie
And romance turns to dust
KagomeShuko
Which flies to the clouds up above.
Chalky
This journey could go on forever
CdM
And is surely not worth the endeavor
Rosie
For when we arrive
Raak
From a very long drive
Software
There's been a change in the weather
Pablo
There's a feeling - or is it just me? -
Phil
That this verse will stop dead at line three
Chalky
I'm not one to doubt.
Tuj
If I reincarnate as a puffin
Rosie
I'll mulishly call myself Muffin

On the island of Lundy

My partner and me

Will nest-build from navels with fluff in.

We have heard that the winner takes all
[T, R, R, S, B]Excellent, free drinks tonight!
penelope
But don't fret should the wealth start to gall
Pablo
Cash can't bring you joy
Chalky
Unless you're called Roy
Software
But it's better than bugg*r all
Chalky
[Softers] If I may be so bold - you are significantly short-syllabled and arrhythmic in both your last entries .. thought you'd sussed this game by now ;-)
Inner lining
Marc - The Scansion-class this Fall semester
Software
Will be taken by the head jester
[Chalks] I disagree, it does work.
Raak
The Rhymer's a clown
Phil
The jester will frown
Rosie
At the way that these matters obsessed her.
Hidden text
It's a jestess.
Jestess
All our efforts to set the bar higher
[Softers] Hope we can agree to disagree. ;-)
penelope
have us jumping from skillet to fire
Rosie
Where we are consumed
(Funny Girl) You're right. I'll have a word with him next time he's over.
Software
All pedants presumed
[Chalks] Naturally :o)
Marc
Class dismissed and now also ceasefire.
Pablo
Debate is a most healthy thing
Kim
At the Darby and Joan Club in Tring
Phil
It helps them stay young
Marc
And grease up their tongue
Software
So with their friends they can swing
Rosie
In Somerset, Dorset and Devon
penelope
They're always in bed by eleven
Software
But the people of Hants
cfm
Are just putting on pants
Phil
And they won't be back home until seven
penelope
In the flat agricultural east
Rosie
All cult'ral activity has ceased
Raak
The turnips are ready
Marc
So tasty but thready
Pablo
Fit neither for man nor for beast
Phil
So The Ashes will grind to an end
Software
With rain being England's best friend
Chalky
And Broady and Swann
Tuj
Turn their sprinklers on
Chalky
As they've more than a penny to spend
No takers all week? Ah well.
Rosie
While spending an evening in Kettering
(Chalky) We can lose with grace, but not win.
Chalky
Perfecting my copperplate lettering
Software
I blotted my book
Pablo
(As the locals say,"fook!")

Putting paid to my hopes for its bettering.
Phil
My computer has not crashed today
Software
Unusual for Windows®, they say
Rosie
And although I'm pleased
penelope
I know if I sneezed
Marc
My screen would collapse and turn grey...
Marc
Good morning all poets it's time
Phil
To celebrate autumn in rhyme
penelope
Write of 'mellow' and 'fruit'
Rosie
And rabbits to shoot
Software
With apples to pick in their prime
Pablo
But what do you say of the rain?
Rosie
Well, it's wet and it goes down the drain
penelope
It hangs out in pools
I thought 'puddles' would be too hard to rhyme. You're welcome
Phil
And obeys fluid rules
Raak
Before long it will come back again.
Software
The rain in Spain, so they say
Raak
Mainly falls on the plain every day
Rosie
But the Sierra Nevada
Some
very
dubious climatology here.
Chalky
(the one in Granada)
Pablo
Is fine all year round, so "Olé!"
Kim
While enjoying a Café au Lait
Phil
I was asked, "Are you well?". I said "Très!"
penelope
Mais le cuillère est

Chalky
Et la tasse 'as une
dent
- just googled le cuillère to check my schoolgirl french. Ooh la kama sutra la!
Rosie
Mais le goût, je vous dis, est OK.
Chalky
*applauds*
Phil
*Applauds the limerick; winces at the Franglais*
penelope
[Phil]
Then I reckon we need more practice...
Aujourd 'hui, le naming de parts
