help
And so it begins....
arrow_circle_up
penelope
That has lived in a small cardboard box
Simons Mith
Been steeped well in beer
Rosie
And thus of good cheer
Phil
While I am a bagel and lox
penelope
I'm sorry, I can't hold your coat
Pablo
I'm trying to de-worm the goat
Raak
If you hold it for me
Marc
Making sure it won't pee
penelope
I can shove the pill right down its throat
"I'll see what I can do, Mr 'erriot"
Software
Today there is wind, rain and flood
Marc
And tomorrow brings storm, hail and mud
Raak
The day after, thick snow
Rosie
With a strong Arctic blow
It ain't gonna happen, folks.
Kim
The year (well, thus far) is a dud
Chalky
It pains me to point out the truth
Raak
But you're getting quite long in the tooth
CdM
If I might be so bold
Pablo
You're quite startlingly old
Rosie
But no longer the once-uncouth youth.
forsooth
Marc
I won't tell you a secret I know
Juxtapose
Instead, watch this pantomime show
Phil
The clue's in the name
penelope
Of the bellowing dame
Chalky
But the answer lies deep down below
CdM
A logician, a priest, and a Scot
Raak
Was the Reverend Hamish McStott
Phil
A writer and thinker
Marc
And moderate drinker
Chalky
Yet best known for his huge you-know-what
Rosie
Now what is this thing that's so big?
penelope
Because bragging is so
infra dig
Pablo
An item of dress?
Marc
Or a way to impress?
Software
No, an enormous big flying pig
penelope
I exist on a diet of fruit
Phil
Which I store in a Wellington boot
Raak
The sludge in the toe
Marc
I gobble like a sow
Chalky
Whilst grunting
chacun à son goût
Pablo
I'm really enjoying this pie
Phil
Though it has left me wondering why
Raak
The ingredients list
Rosie
Was so widely dissed
Marc
What's wrong with dried tadpoles and larvae of flesh fly?
(a big and nourishing pie it was...)
Marc
When apples and cherries we mix
Software
Something we do just for kicks
KagomeShuko
We make lemonade
Pablo
To sip in the shade
penelope
And whittle ourselves cocktail sticks
A bit lacklustre. Eyes'n'teeth next time, guys'n'gals, eyes'n'teeth!
It's an actor's poor life that I lead
Marc
I can barely afford smoking weed
Pablo
While learning the Bard
Raak
Is not all that hard
Phil
It would help if I first learnt to read
Rosie
I've told you a number of times
Raak
That I'll never be caught for my crimes
Marc
I'm so cunning and smart
Software
That they call me a tart
Pooh
Moi? I'm the Macavity of Mimes
For when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
Phil
My mother is losing her mind
Juxtapose
Because of a contract she signed
Rosie
In which she agreed
(Pooh) Does that include your own crimes of scansion?
Raak
To always wear tweed
Chalky
And a necklace of smoked bacon rind
Raak
We shall soon start the season of Lent
Kim
When the rules of abstention are bent
Rosie
To make us believe
KagomeShuko
It is now time to heave
Marc
BMI by some fifty percent...

Marc
Still my Body Mass Index is low
Software
My ribcage is always on show
Pablo
My skinny white arms
penelope
Are the least of my charms
Neophyte
Whilst the best may be felt down below
Rosie
The means by which pussycats purr
Juxtapose
Are shrouded in mys'try and fur
Marc
Have they motors inside?
Neophyte
Or a resonant hide?
Simons Mith
Do they blend a buzz with a whirr?
Pablo
I've a large pot of organic glue
Marc
That's made from the hooves of zebras and gnu
Neophyte
‘Endangered’, you say ?
irach
I've seen herds in Calais
penelope
Where there's lions and elephants too
I've a question for someone who knows
Chalky
About pobbles and their lack of toes:
Pablo
Are they toeless all day?
Neophyte
Does it hinder their play?
Rosie
At darts, do they get extra goes?
Chalky
[P,P,N,R] delightful stuff :)
Chalky
It's true what they say about poker
Rosie
That they play with a pack with no Joker
Software
That your face must be blank
Neophyte
Like a true mountebank
penelope
Lose a mill? Oh, that's just mediocre.
Neophyte
If you play at pontoon or roulette
Marc
Make sure that you use your lorgnette
Rosie
To distinguish between
Pablo
The black, red and green
Software
And to ensure that you place the right bet
Rosie
The Ides of March did for Caesar
Neophyte
As noted by some Stratford geezer
Software
It turned out his mate
Marc
Finished forth his sad fate
(et tu, Brute?)
Chalky
With a staged and dramatic crowd-pleaser
Pablo
While oop in the north, sat Macbeth
Neophyte
Ignoring the portents of death
Raak
When Birnam Wood came
Chalky
He was right in the frame
Marc
In the long run though gave up his breath...
Marc
It is springtime - or so I was told,
Neophyte
So why is my sun lounge so cold ?
Raak
The air from Siberia
penelope
Makes the temp so inferior
Chalky
Now fetch me a servant to scold!
Neophyte
My lawn's taken over by moss
Pablo
But really, I don't give a toss
Software
Roll on the next drought
Chalky
When the sun is about
Marc
'cause tonight we will play the lacrosse...
Marc
There are the rules how to pick up a girl
Typo
There are rules how to pick up a girl
Neophyte
Keep back straight, bend at knees, never curl
Raak
When she's hoisted on board
Juxtapose
Don't lean backward or for'ard
Chalky
And present with
Les Pêcheurs De Perles
penelope
But beware if you pick up a man
Neophyte
In a dress, thigh-high boots, and a tan
Stevie
For that thong will conceal
Marc
That his balls made of steel
Rosie
Are prosthetic and his real name is Anne.
Software
Transvestism is such a drag
Neophyte
That seldom of it do folk brag
Pablo
They prefer to disguise
Marc
Then show up with surprise
Giertrud
When you push them down off of a crag!
Marc
Once again we are fooled by the spring
Neophyte
And the thought of the joys it will bring
Rosie
Ooh, I dunno
