And so it begins....

Marc
We admit he was there
Raak
And shed a loose hair
Rosie
So he's balding, not guilty, but shameless.
Tuj
I've a notion to tame a gorilla
[pen,Ros] delicately finished, kudos
Rosie
By off'ring it strawb'rry vanilla
(Tuj) Cheers.
KagomeShuko
Ice cream or candy
Giertrud
Perhaps some brandy
Whootz
I think I'll name it Godzilla!
Tuj
There's far too much bran in my diet
Phil
Ever since my doc said I should try it
Raak
It goes through me so fast
Marc
And it ends with a blast
FGZstar
And now I feel deflated and quiet
Tuj
I really wish I could explain
Rosie
To Frenchmen, Danes and Turks
Marc
How to optimize rhymes
[Rosie: To a Frenchman, a Turk and a Dane?]
Rosie
Oh Arse, buggeration and Rupert Murdoch! I must've thought it was a Pea and Honey Recipe. Try this then:
To the average Frenchman or Dane
Marc
How to optimize rhymes
(Marc) I've put yours in again, as the art mistress said to the gardener.
Raak
For these cold, rainy climes
Software
And why rain always falls on the plain
Tuj
My standard reply is denial
[Rosie] Just so happens with a bit of stress manipulation my line could've been either!
Rosie
I'm from Barcelona, I smile
(Tuj) That may have been what misled me, apart from inattention.
Marc
And say "Si, si - mañana
penelope
"We have no bañana"
oblig.
Spangle
I'm brimful of Catalan guile
Rosie
There was a young fellow called Frank
irach
Who laughed all the way to the bank
Spangle
His sperm for to sell
Phil
But he tripped and he fell
Software
And said: "That was a waste of a .."
I'll get my coat
Juxtapose
The holiday season is grand
KagomeShuko
but I wish you'd just hold my hand
Giertrud
I get lost in the crowds
Spangle
Coz my head's in the clouds
(KS, G) Little scope for decent rhymes. Are you one person doing double postings under two names?
Marc
When I hug your right mammary gland...
(Cloud number seven?)
FGZstar
I'm gonna jump in with a punt
(Blame Jim. I challenge you all to avoid any smut with this one!)
irach
While eating a cake - a great Bundt
Juxtapose
Which I bought in Nantucket
Giertrud
Along with a bucket
KagomeShuko
After I had a lunt
lunt: smoke a pipe. Also, me? I am one person. KagomeShuko is my single screen name I use now. Giertrud is not me.
Marc
There once was a Japanese fighter
[KS,G Occasionally I'm also a little schizo!] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tekagi-shuko
Kim
Who had a mishap with a lighter
Software
His
Zero
caught fire
irach
And he faced Tojo's ire
Dujon
For smoking at work, the poor blighter.
Software
There once was a Christmas elf
Spangle
Who suffered from very poor helf
Marc
So he went to the doc
Rosie
Who did naught but mock
irach
And charged him the bulk of his welf
Raak
Nngh Naouwfaouwk vaey aouw taouwk woik vif
"In Norfolk they all talk like this"
Rosie
Whaa'? Even 'ng pahsh taoüns loike Diff?
"What? Even in posh towns like Diss?"
KagomeShuko
Jeg vil prøve å lære det
"I'd try to learn it"
Marc
Fast jag är en analfabet
"Though I am an analphabit"
Éirinn go Brách
Póg mo thóin! Tá mo bhríste trí thine!
"Kiss my ass! My trousers are burning like this"
Marc
There once was a chic little chick
(back to basics)
Software
A fashionista that made the rest sick
Raak
Her little black dress
Rosie
Revealed to the press
Tmkr
A house built of silicone brick
"If you can remember the seventies, would you admit it?"
Santas underlining elf
Marc - Twas the Night before Christmas I think,
Raak
That I thought I would have a wee drink
Rosie
So I poured out a brandy
Software
Got a hooker called Mandy
KagomeShuko
And called Charlie Sheen's shrink.
(
apologies about the reference to the
US News
)
Marc
At the end of this year let me say,
irach
It's been 52 weeks of great play
Raak
This collective of wit
Projoy
- since its fuse was first lit -
Giertrud
has taxed my matter that's gray.
KagomeShuko
A new year's a time for new things
FGZstar
And a time when ev'rybody sings
Juxtapose
So let's sip some wine
Marc
With some food that's divine
(Can anyone please explain Giertrud's line? I do not understand it at all but I am a blody foreigner of course...)
Software
And wait till the microwave pings
.
Grey matter - a reference to the stuff inside the head - i.e. the brain.
penelope
I've forgotten the things that I knew
irach
For example, is this year still new?
Rosie
And if not, then how old
Software
We should all be told
Spangle
If I'm kept in the dark - I shall sue
Rosie
While stuck on the M25
Software
A shortcut I tried to contrive
penelope
But my detour through Slough
You have the option - sluff or slouw...
Raak
Was more than enough
enuff or enow...
irach
To add a half hour to my drive
Giertrud
Hey, have you seen my rubber?
KagomeShuko
If I don't find it I'll blubber.
Marc
Is it this one - the black?
(G and KS, I admire the remarcable precision in two different persons posting ;-)
Software
Flavoured if you need a snack
Spangle
Another mercy killing -
Bubba bubba bubba bubba bubba
Now play properly!
Audience
Spangle, your license is now confiscated. You may go to your room and stay there!
penelope
We'd very much like you to try
Marc
Finding rhymes that will fit, don't be shy
Spangle
When you've done that
irach
Verses won't go all "splat"
Software
Or fizzle out and just die
Giertrud
Oh look! Here's a blow-up sheep!
penelope
[G] No there isn't. 1. It doesn't scan. 2. It's effing childish. Try harder.
Spangle
[penelope] I, too, am deeply disappointed with the children's recent behaviour.
Spangle - I need to confess to a crime
penelope
I've wasted four hours of your time
Knobbly
But in my defence
Marc
I will use common sense
irach
To provide you both reason and rhyme
penelope
I need to confess to a sin
irach
I went out the door that said "In"
Phil
My erratic egress
Marc
To my X's address
Software
Is because my mind's in a spin
Spangle
Was a flimsy excuse to buy gin
penelope
My shame of embarrassing sin
oh this is turning out to be a sorry tale...
Marc
I've drowned in a gallon of gin
Spangle
My soul's taken flight
FGZstar
So I think that I might
Chalky
Have some fun in the hell that I'm in
irach
Alas and alack! Woe, is me!
KagomeShuko
I think I just scraped my knee!
Marc
As I kneeled on the floor
Raak
Wrestling with a trapdoor
[Marc] Is "kneeled" modern American for "knelt"?
Juxtapose
While fleeing the
L.A.P.D.
[Raak] both are acceptable here in the States.
Marc
There once was a kneeling young nun
[Raak] Don't ask me, I'm an alien using MS-word for my poofreading...
irach
Who thought she'd stand up just for fun
FGZstar
Her habit then ripped.
Software
And her modesty slipped
Spangle
But she made the third page of 'The Sun'
Giertrud
Monty Python would just be so proud
KagomeShuko
if you played a tuba that's loud!
irach
With dead parrots in tow
penelope
Let's get on with the show!
Raak
Individuals all in this crowd!
Phil
Whilst playing "The Liberty Bell"
Spangle
Our bandstand collapsed - then we fell
Marc
And the bell fell and cracked
Knobbly
So with guilt I am wracked
irach
And Ben Franklin is giving me hell
Spangle
A round of applause please - I've just
Raak
Excavated this ancient Greek bust
irach
It is Aphrodite
