I've a large pot of organic glue

That's made from the hooves of zebras and gnu
Neophyte
‘Endangered’, you say ?
irach
I've seen herds in Calais

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

That your face must be blank
Neophyte
Like a true mountebank
penelope
Lose a mill? Oh, that's just mediocre.

To distinguish between

The black, red and green

Ignoring the portents of death

When Birnam Wood came
Chalky
He was right in the frame

The air from Siberia

Makes the temp so inferior
Chalky
Now fetch me a servant to scold!

My lawn's taken over by moss
Pablo
But really, I don't give a toss
Software
Roll on the next drought

'cause tonight we will play the lacrosse...

There are the rules how to pick up a girl
Typo
There are rules how to pick up a girl

Don't lean backward or for'ard
Chalky
And present with
Les Pêcheurs De Perles
penelope
But beware if you pick up a man

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.

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
Saint John
It's a fact I don't know
'cause they've stepped on my toe

Marc
I think we have heard it before
Neophyte
And we'll hear it again, I am sure
Raak
It is on the "tee-vee"

In the tabloids, I see

And followed on You Tube what's more

It's April the First, take great care

For Lurkers and snipers beware
Pablo
And old men in coats

Selling tuppenny groats
Stevie
Who, furthermore, really aren't there.
Marc
There once was a farmer who said:
Pooh
"By golly, I'd come out ahead
Pablo
if I planted my corn
Raak
at the first glimpse of dawn
Rosie
Instead of just lying in bed."
oblig.
Chalky
There's a terrible price to be paid

For allowing the curtains to fade

Into cans marked "Homemade Lemonade"
Chalky
Tomorrow's the day before Sunday

And in turn, that's the day before Monday

[C, p, S, R, T] I larfed out loud.
Software
It is, so to speak

The end of the week
Marc
Which means that today is today??

To find someone to go on a date
Neophyte
'Though with whom they'll go

While dancing an Argentine tango
Raak
With the chair of my favorite quango

I feigned mild surprise

With my clogs flying high

And a slap on the thigh

As I waltzed with a gorgeous young filly

Milk and five sugars for me
Neophyte
With my pinky outstretched
Phil
In a posture far-fetched
Kim
I'm an upper-class builder, you see
Marc
I am sure Easter Bunnies lay eggs
Stevie
I am sure that the French eat frog's legs
Neophyte
But
grenouilles à la Pâques

Mixed with various
tabacs
Rosie
Is surely against EU regs.
Juxtapose
This Friday is s'posed to be good
Neophyte
'Though why, I have ne'er understood
Stevie
Getting nailed to a tree
Chalky
Is not
my
cup of tea
Raak
And He would agree, if he could.
Matthew 26:39
Neophyte
Palm Sunday, it came and it went

And I on tequila was bent

This was not a good way

On that most Holy Day
