Raak
A lot wouldn't do, but a bit'll
Software
Think it's all over
Pablo
And visit their lover
Shakespearian Rules declared
Simons Mith
What'll then hit the fan? Oh, the shit'll.
Radox The Green
Thanks for the excellent development of an admittedly difficult start!
Simons Mith
Outside there's a godawful smell
CdM
In my own personal circle of Hell
KagomeShuko
I've searched high and low
Rosie
I reck'n it's the po
Pablo
But my nose is so clogged I can't tell
KagomeShuko
I've gathering the wood and the wool
Software
Sounds like a load of old bull
Pablo
In fact, a young cow
Superman
In the here'n'now
Radox The Green
Says I'm too high to be cool.
HTMLine
Bismarck
Do nothing, until there's a Plan
Raak
Don't plan, until there's a Man
Rosie
No Man? Get a monkey
Simons Mith
Then all will be hunky-
Software
Dory, like Dominic Cummings's scam
Pablo
I'm really fed right up to here
Rosie
I'll do something reckless, I fear
Simons Mith
I'll put on my socks!
[Daring enough for ya, ya pussies? I'm so hardcore I may even put them on the wrong feet.]
Stevie
Cue-up "Cleveland Rocks!"
The Ian Hunter original
Software
Fu*k it, I'll just have a beer
KagomeShuko
My socks are marked left and right
Pablo
This is so I can find them at night
Raak
The marks are in Braille
Rosie
They pong, so exhale
Software
But this cannot be mine - far too tight
Juxtapose
I'm back from a very long trip
Simons Mith
To Woking's municipal tip
penelope
Where I hunted in vain
Stevie
For Boris's brain
Pablo
In the vain hope he might get a grip
Simons Mith
I feel like an animal theme for a bit. Can we have some animals?
There is much to be said of the Moth
Stevie
But I'd much rather speak of the Sloth
Hidden text
Hi, Jack!
Pablo
Or a simple wombat
Raak
Or a Sumatran Rat
Simons Mith
Or the Wampa ice creature from Hoth
penelope
I can't see the point of a bunny
Simons Mith
They're 'hoppy' and I prefer 'runny'
Rosie
But hoppy beer's great
Bismarck
So here's Bunny's fate
Superman
Stewed in Guinness, with onions, and honey.
penelope
The purpose of hedgehogs is clear
[Simons] We can have a catalogue of limericks justifying British fauna if you want
Raak
They have excellent taste in good beer
Rosie
They just lap it up
Stevie
From a saucer or cup
Software
Curl up and just disappear
Raak
The haggis, a curious beast
Rosie
Turns dinner into a feast
Software
with offal and bran
Stevie
Yourrr auld Scottish gran
Pablo
Will make it all rise with some yeast
Stevie
You can see by the cut of his jib
KagomeShuko
That he clearly will not ad lib
Bismarck
Those "Fnarrs"! and those "Errrs"
CdM
"In the script!" he avers
Rosie
"To say otherwise is a fib"
Stevie
You can tell by the look in her eye
Software
That the lady is ever so shy
Rosie
She's sweet and demure
penelope
But her mind is manure
the light linen duster coat, ta
Raak
You would think she was born in a sty.
Stevie
You could say she was destined to fly
CdM
(Even though, manifestly, you lie)
Pablo
She seems to have wings
Rosie
And other nice things
Simons Mith
But too great a liking for pie
(Sigh)
It's like the sad tale of
Mavis the Fairy
all over again.
Simons Mith
(Only with pie rather than cake.)
Stevie
If cake is your bag, just look here
Pablo
It
is
gluten-free, have no fear
Superman
And there's zero lactose
Software
Sugar free, I 'spose
Tricky rhyme, there
Raak
And a glass of no-alcohol beer.
Rosie
My hair grows ever longer
Superman
Surely a glow worm?
Raak
My hair grows ever longer
But falls out just as fast
I'll beat upon the conga
Until I breathe my last.
Rosie
(Superman) 'Kinell. It is, isn't it.
Stevie
My hair seems to grow ever longer
Pablo
But my body just doesn't get stronger
Rosie
So, Sampson I'm not
KagomeShuko
And Delilah is rot
Software
Can it get any wronger?
CdM
I like to eat spinach with jam
Hidden text
Not really
Dujon
Far better than Marmite with spam
Hidden text
Urk!
KagomeShuko
But jellied eel mousse
Hidden text
Getting grosser here . . . )
Rosie
Just makes the bowel loose
Hidden text
So they say
penelope
I'm a slave to my guts, that I am.
Software
But I love strawberry jam with my cheese
Stevie
'Tis a consu
ma
tion sure to please
Rosie
But not ev'rybody
KagomeShuko
is Passamaquoddy
Superman
Who eat it while shooting the breeze.
Simons Mith
I shot at the breeze and I missed
CdM
And the breeze is now royally pissed
Rosie
"I'll blow your house down"
muttleee
It said, with a frown
Pablo
Til I asked it to kindly desist
KagomeShuko
My arrow is caught in a tree
penelope
And my grapeshot has not made it free
Simons Mith
My petard is hoist
Stevie
My powder is moist
Rosie
And my peashooter - it lacks a pea.
CdM
*applause*
That should be exhibited immediately in the showcase game.
Software
The thunder is getting quite near
Rosie
I'd better finish off my beer
Bismarck
For this heat and this weather
Dujon
Ruffle many a feather
Pablo
With a large bolt of lightning, I fear
Stevie
Hat off. Another winner
Stevie
Ye Gods! What a bang! That was close!
KagomeShuko
It made me yell, "Great Caesar's Ghost!"
Pablo
But try not to fret
Raak
It's not over yet
Simons Mith
You've still got to
butter
the toast
nfras
The smell of hot crumpet with butter
CdM
Will cause a curmudgeon to mutter
Raak
"How gruntled I feel!"
Resisting the temptation to put "gruntled" at the end of the line.
Software
"This is not quite a meal"
Stevie
But the prospect still makes my heart flutter
KagomeShuko
Cream cheese on a bagel is better
Pablo
Though I much prefer to use feta
CdM
While some like ricotta
Raak
I think that you oughta
Dujon
Feed that lot to the nearest red setter
(The weirdest dog breed I've ever come across.)
KagomeShuko
A strange dog, you see, is the Puli
CdM
Think Dougal (though not so unruly)
Software
And the magical thing
