Chalky
I'm feeling unreason'bly chipper
Tuj
I've just got a job as a stripper!
Expecting philosophical discourse
Simons Mith
There's one tiny hassle
muttleee
It's based in New
castle
Rosie
Where they all boast about their Big Dipper
.
Chalky
laughs out loud
Simons Mith
I think it unseemly to brag
Software
But people don't know I'm in drag
Raak
I pass perfectl
ee
Pablo
As a lass- don't you see?
Rosie
So old fart turns into old hag.
Stevie
There's a story they tell down our local
Rosie
'Bout this bloke whose specs were bifocal
penelope
He saw future and past
Software
Tiny and vast
Chalky
And forecast Eyjafjallajökull
Simons Mith
Forecast it? I can't even say it
muttleee
This line's not much good but I'll play it
Raak
I'm a big fan of Björk
Chalky
'Though this rhyme doesn't wörk
Bismarck
Incoherency helps to inveigh it.
Chalky
Kudos to the Lime Rick Rescue Team -
Chalky
If ever you feel like complaining
Tuj
Could I interest you in refraining?
penelope
'Cos whiners are shunned
Pablo
Then become moribund
Rosie
They need, it would seem, some retraining
muttleee
So it's farewell to Lionel Blair
Nothing if not topical
Raak
Who performed with unparalleled flair
Software
His craft of the mime
Chalky
Was just as sublime
• Me Again - As his head of magnificent hair.
Chalky
A whole week has passed without action
Raak
Is our steam engine losing its traction?
Software
So I'll write a line
Rosie
Me too; here's mine
CdM
I'll write a fraction
muttleee
Let's start a new verse right away!
Simons Mith
And commence without any delay
Tuj
Now let us begin
Raak
And headlong dive in
Chalky
To some comic'ly crafted word play
Chalky
Beware of the cruel Villanelle
Raak
Whose precision would tax William Tell
muttleee
As 'femme fatales' go
Unfinished sentence alert
Rosie
She was tops; stole the show
Software
As under her spell we all fell
penelope
The end of the world, it is not.
Dujon
Though I'm many a year from the cot
Pablo
I shall still stand erect
Software
As you would expect
Rosie
Till I fall over (dry rot)
Bismarck
When writing in HTML
Rosie
You don't have to learn how to spell
Software
But the syntax you must
penelope
Make sure it is just
Superman
Lest you open a portal to Hell.
Pablo
While writing a long piece of code
Rosie
I thought, could this be an ode?
Software
As I write this in "C"
Radox The Green
Which is my favourite key
Rosie
Especially in Phrygian mode.
Two goes. I dunno - pushy bugger
Raak
Let's go for a brisk, bracing walk!
Simons Mith
To the base of that towering stalk
Rosie
The Shard, what a blight
Stevie
Thrust into the night
Radox The Green
Like those mushrooms that grow in the dark.
Stevie
Hidden text
At Radox’s rhyme I must baulk!
Rosie
I'm reminded of an asylum
Chalky
Lock 'em up - name 'em and file 'em
Raak
Have a strong padded cell
Stevie
Some laud'num as well
Tuj
Keep things cosy: be sure not to rile 'em
[Stevie] Can't believe that didn't trigger one of those periodic accent discussions
Stevie
Does *anyone* pronounce “walk” as “wark” and “stalk” as “stark”, and if so, why isn’t that banned by international treaty? 8oD
Rosie
(Stevie) My N. Walian aunts may have done so. They pronounced "pork" as "park".
Raak
On the second day of this new year
Rosie
It is now becoming quite clear
Chalky
That it's really day three
nights
And soon we shall see
penelope
Days four, five and six drawing near.
Software
New Year resolutions to break
penelope
Like 'not putting jam on my steak'
