And so it begins....

Simons Mith
And wellies, by golly
Chalky
Such meteorological powers!
Projoy
Rising early, I wended to Wales
penelope
To
re
search the fledging of snails
(They take to the wing and leave the nest mid-June or so, I believe)
muttleee
I've spent my whole grant
Software
So now I just can't
Rosie
Deny that it's one of my fails.
CdM
A while ago I had this thought:
CdM
For greater scansion clarity, given that the line could also be read iambically
A while ago
I
had this thought:
Chalky
Can a poetic licence be bought?
Raak
Or is it innate?
Radox The Green
Let's ask the laure
ate
The laureate
Just nick one but do not get caught.
It is I, Rosie
CdM
My darling cannot understand
Projoy
Why her planes can't be friends with the land
Chalky
They circle above
Raak
Sighing deeply with love
Software
This whole verse is rather bland
CdM
Everything I have done, or would do
Simons Mith
I'd do it again, painted blue
Raak
I've bought futures in woad
Software
So I'll make a load
Chalky
Now I own this hex color code too
Radox The Green
"Hast seen the white whale?" Ahab cried
Simons Mith
It's white on only one side!
Raak
On the other — who knows!
Software
Look out! Thar she blows!
CdM
”My God! That side’s—”. Then he died
In this bitter and blind and bleak land
Hidden text
Completing my Yeats sequence: I had this thought a while ago / My darling cannot understand/ What I have done, or what would do / In this blind, bitter land
Raak
That fell unmade from God's wearied hand
Rosie
I see nought but crap
Projoy
Oh, please give me a slap
Chalky
In return for this gold Krugerrand
Projoy
The women are coming and going
Stevie
(Still refusing to fly on a Boeing)
Simons Mith
I too think this wise
Rosie
(They fall out of the skies)
muttleee
When you fly, that is something worth knowing.
CdM
You can try the FT for £1
Hidden text
or so it says on my screen, at least
Rosie
Don't do it; it's boring, I've found
Projoy
Instead, pay for X
Radox The Green
Before Elon Musk wrecks
Software
And then X is no longer around
Projoy
On a Thursday, one does Thursday things
Raak
Such as fletching a new set of wings
Rosie
Then learning to fly
Chalky
When Friday is nigh
Stevie
For who knows what angst Saturday brings?
Rosie
My cat catches birds just for fun
Raak
Their wings broken, see how they run!
Projoy
Three blinded winged rats
Bismarck
Are her playthings, and that's
Chalky
Just a taste - now the real fun's begun
Radox The Green
My microwave's gone on the blink
Projoy
It turns all my food into drink
Simons Mith
And my drinks into gloop
or sludge if that fits your muse better
Rosie
Resembling fresh poop
blamelewis
Can someone please unblock my sink?
Rosie
The best way to unblock your sink
CdM
(It turns out) is not what you’d think
Chalky
Just go to your settings
Projoy
Set twice a day jettings
Raak
And make sure your pipes never kink.
Software
This morning I woke with a start
CdM
Remembering you broke my heart
Simons Mith
And ruptured my spleen
Projoy
But at least you were clean
Rosie
But frankly, not a work of art
Bismarck
An old photo, from when I was young
Projoy
Shows my uvula, tonsils and tongue
Rosie
Vibrating in sync
blamelewis
and pleasingly pink
Raak
So unlike my old, grey, wrinkled lung.
blamelewis
No wait! I'll explain! Hold your fire!
Software
And please don't call me a liar
Rosie
I'm an orange-free zone
Projoy
So go shoot someone known
Raak
With the arrow of true love's desire.
blamelewis
I can't wait to tell you the news.
Software
I've found a source of cheap booze
CdM
There
is
one small catch
Projoy
You must not light a match
