And so it begins....

Bismarck
Way up on a peak in the Andes
gil
Or down on the banks of the Ganges
Pablo
One stands and one stares
Rosie
One mutters one's prayers
Marc
While lighting regretful our candles...
Superman
The Siberian Filigree Hamster
Hidden text
Glad to see Marc is keeping up the tradition :)
Raak
Foreshadows a rhyming disaster
Rosie
So I'll have an orange
Batman
One rose that is yellow
Bismarck
Schadenfreude to make Super
man
swear?
penelope
Tradition is seldom surpassed
Software
By stuff that relates to the past
Superman
Nostalgia is fine,
Hidden text
Ooh, I swear... I can feel a Stevie-level strop coming on for that previous limerick treatment :)
Raak
Like a noble old wine
gil
But the future goes past rather fast
Marc
The meaning with Christmas I think
Raak
Is that it's a good time to drink
penelope
I can't be the first
you're welcome
Stevie
With a seasonal thirst
gil
But that punch looks suspiciously pink.
Pablo
This year I'd like Santa to bring
Stevie
The album
Herb Alpert Plays Swing
penelope
And a Rover P6
gil
A timepiece that ticks
Bismarck
And a furlong of Number Two string.
Superman
Scrooge said, "Now that old Marley's dead,"
Software
"His riches are now mine instead"
Raak
But three ghosts made him see
Stevie
Things quite differently
Bismarck
As one by one they turned up in his bed.
Marc
Bob Marley, a singer-songwriter,
Bismarck
Once asked me to lend him my lighter
Software
To stoke up his spliff
Superman
And I would've done - if
Rosie
I could find it. Where is it?, the blighter.
I lose things, everything, all the time.
Stevie
While drinking a small glass of sack
Software
Guess who bumped into my back?
Pablo
A small, forlorn elf
Rosie
Who looked like Will Self
Bismarck
For both reasons, he went on the rack.
One for Stevie, as he asked :)
While I rode on the LIRR
Marc
I tuned my acoustic guitar
Pablo
To the key of B flat
Raak
As we all sat and sat
Software
But the train didn't move very far
penelope
Choose a chord, and then play it with speed
Pablo
A G minor sixth's what you need
Raak
Modulate to E flat
Software
F sharp with that
Stevie
A very nice ringtone indeed
Marc
[pPRSS] A masterpiece for cellphones indeed...
The Finger Print Lock for my phone
penelope
Will exclude any
omi palone
Software
But if I lose my touch
Rosie
Or get drunk, or some such
Pablo
It unlocks with the right type of moan
Stevie
My telephone's battery is dead
Superman
So I think I'll try shouting instead.
Rosie
At least I won't squint
Software
Or cast it to print
Marc
That you put in the shredder unread
Marc
We will soon see another dictator
Anna
Little Donald, whose motto is "greater"
Raak
His first action will be
Pablo
To grope girls (two or three)
Bismarck
While tweeting "Obama's a traitor."
I just found a bunch of "fake news"
Bismarck
While tweeting "Obama's a traitor."
I just found a bunch of "fake news"
Software
According to Trump, it's abuse
Superman
And badly written, to boot
Bill
Himself to disrepute
Marc
The world thinks he has blown a fuse...
Projoy
Will they give him a standing ovation
Marc
Or just give him a straight flat castration
Pablo
I'm hoping the latter
penelope
Cos castratos are fatter
Chalky
So fat chance of shafting the nation
Raak
This Friday the First Trump will sound
Projoy
And our dreams will crash down to the ground
Marc
Cometh hail mixed with blood
Rosie
An avalanche of crud
Stevie
Or a dollar worth more than a pound
Projoy
But the man isn't president
yet
!
33 hours at the time of posting...
Projoy
Sorry, 45 if you count up to midday on 20th
Marc
Soon he is and to all that's a threat
Superman
The nukes do his bidding
Software
(Don't think he's kidding)
Stevie
And then it's Auf Wiedersehen, Pet
Marc
There once was a loudmouthed clown
Stevie
Who stuck his name all over town
Superman
On a poster that said
Bismarck
"Wanted: Living or Dead"
Projoy
They shot him, and then he piped down.
Marx
A big fat notorious lier
Engels
Is the state to which marrows aspire!
Trotsky
For every courge's
Blavatsky
Desire to be bourgeois
Stalin
Grinds the people down. Ready! Aim! Fryer!
Marc
My lies are alternative facts
Projoy
So your claim that my previous acts
u.s.a.
gil
Are truly obnoxious
Raak
Is thoroughly poxious
Bismarck
Same to you, no returns, to the max.
Projoy
The last Jedi, alone on a hill
Stevie
Stared wildly at his cell phone bill
Juxtapose
His vast roaming charges
Raak
On spacefaring barges
Superman
So he hides - but they find him at will!
Stevie
In an X-wing outbound for the Death Star
Software
I was munching on a Mars® bar
Superman
When the Admiral said
Pablo
"Right - full steam ahead!"
Marc
Then we crashed into Star Alcazar
Bismarck
My august predecessor once said,
Pablo
"If you don't make a million, you're dead"
Stevie
Now I sell p3n1z p1llz
Superman
Made of porcupine quills
Marc
Will you test them tonite in your bed...?
Marc
"Dear Sir, I am not one of those"
Tuj
"Correspondents whose flowery prose"
penelope
Obfuscates my true meaning
Raak
My gist needs no gleaning
Rosie
It hits you right there, on the nose.
Pablo
My new novel will be out next week

For a giggle, I wrote it in Greek
Marc
And I used pseudonym
Sinnerella

But the press let my real name leak.

Christ almighty this bad weather sucks!

You'd think that El Niño's in flux!

It's not fit for a dog

It's the fault of those pesky Canucks.

My moped won't start, so these chocs

Won't stay very long in their box

A sweet compensation
