Yet, an eye for an eye

Isn't something I'd try

I Say, Porter!
Yes! it's Twister-by-email
Chalky
Designed for the female
Botherer
All dressed up in basques, tightly laced.
Projoy
"Are all muppets Jews?" she enquired
Raak
"Or are they by Allah inspired?"
penelope
"Are controlling hands Druid?"
Rosie
"With their movement so fluid"
Oblig., more or less
Software
"Or just puppets sewn and wired?"
Knobbly
The cause of my facial contusion
Projoy
Is a thin air and plate glass confusion
Rosie
The one is ethereal
Darren
The other's material
Falstaff
And my face, their media for fusion.

The little buggers might get COLD!

To look like a bunny
Darren
Who's crouching and ready to... spit
penelope
Open season on pantomime dames
Projoy
John Inman's been shot down in flames
Darren
Dale Winton's in panic
Chalky
Frank Bruno's just ... manic
Rosie
But don't mess with Botham; he maims.
. . . rather unfair to him, actually, but this has been hanging around for a few days now.
Projoy
This feels just the winter for cricket
irach
I think I'll be keeping the wicket
Software
But bowling on ice
Darren
Is not very nice
Ol' Rum-n-Riot
To penguins; take your ball and stick'et.
Juxtapose
There once was a svelte young brunette
Software
Who was smuggled aboard a corvette
Chalky
The boot was too small
-
what's a corvette?
Blob
Though she curled in a ball
-
[Chalky] Er, it's a small ship, so unlikely to have a boot really, but we'll pretend we're talking about a Corvette Stingray shall we ? ;-)
Raak
A position she called cul-à-tête
Chalky
My new sailing ship has a boot
:-D
Software
I'm a Corsair so I'll fill it with loot
while on the boat/car bifircation...

So foul that I do not dare
Software
To mention the fact
Falstaff
I have nada for tact
Software
So I'll tell the whole world, I don't care

I've managed, without interference,
Kim
Ahem
Kim
I've managed, without interference,
Chalky
To alter my husband's appearance
rab
He's now eight feet tall
penelope
But has only one ball
sorrysorrysorry
Chalky
And that needs a sixteen-inch clearance
- oooh - what a monster I've created
Rosie
For those with testicular gigantism
. . . there ought to be a few rhymes, and if not, well, bollocks.
Software
(Barring the mono or double schism)
Mmmm, yes, that could work, subject to the scansion police
Juxtapose
It's wise, I suspect,
throwing caution to the wind...
Chalky
To join the new sect
Raak
Baptised by immersion in...
(No, I can't bring myself to type it.)
Chalky
It takes just a moment to find
[Raak] admirable restraint, sir,
Phil
That an orange tastes better "sans rind";
Raak
But if you chew the pips
Rosie
Take this wisest of tips
Pompous, moi?
Projoy
- just don't take the pith: 'tis unkind.
A river of buttons doth flow
Wymo
To a land where the cuffs dare not go
-
I smell realism here...
Rosie
Lest they cover my watch
(Projoy) You're mad. :-)
Software
(An extravagant Swatchâ„¢)
Darren
Where they've all come from, I don't know
Rosie
There was a young chap from Slovakia
Raak
Whose verse, beside ours, was much tackia
Software
His scansion was iffy

His rhyme scheme was whiffy

Of coal, when the long winter gets here.
Projoy
The nights are approaching their longest
Raak
The werewolves are reaching their strongest
Software
The ghosts and the ghoulies
Darren
And Syd Rumpo's moulies
Chalky
Play
host
to God,
who
is the
wrong
guest.
- a bit clunking, sorry. That was a difficult one.
Chalky
My celibate friend - here's a tip:
Raak
Use a lock to secure your fly zip
Software
This sec-urity
Knobbly
I'm sure you'll agree
Darren
Will keep you safe when you let rip
blamelewis
If a zip-lock should fail to prevail
(continuing the excellent advice...)
Rosie
We'll all find out if you're male
Software
But if you're a lass
Darren
You should go to mass
Chalky
And cover your sins with a veil
Juxtapose
For celibacy, give three cheers!
Projoy
I'll not bonk for the rest of my years
jim
That's the end of my knockin'
Darren
The bed will stop rockin'
Phil
As the eve of my life swiftly nears
Rosie
While waiting for lights to turn green
Falstaff
I've acquired a malaise in my spleen
Software
At red-amber I felt
Chalky
My testicles melt
Projoy
So please do not ask if I've "been"
Rosie
I've "been" and I'm now "feeling lighter"
This is disgraceful stuff. Terrible.
jim
Yet my pants strangely seem a bit tighter
Darren
And strangely much wetter
[Chalky] How do you know about testicles?
Software
As my bits they do fetter
penelope
Could my underpants be any shite-er?
No-one else could have done it with so much sweetness and panache. But I'm sorry anyway, and I'll get my coat.
Chalky
When recently showered and fragrant
[Darren] eeh lad ... I've melted a few in my time :-) [pen] stick around - we need you for this one ...
Projoy
I jumped on an elderly vagrant
Darren
We made passionate love
Kim
While the pigeons above
Falstaff
Doled out the lubricating a-gent.
almost rhymes...anyway it made me smirkle
blamelewis
Ahhh, we raise our game and lower our tone - can't be coincidence!
Stand back! I'm about to erupt!
Raak
In a manner both loud and abrupt!
Rosie
There's nowt you can do
Projoy
I'll explode right on cue
Darren
Unless you bribe me (I'm corrupt)
Projoy
In New Jersey, New York and New Delhi
Raak
You see all the same things on the telly
Phil
For Sesame Street
Software
Or the Kumar's we meet
Rosie
But not the beach webcam, Pwllheli.
Wol
And those 'Stars' with that tw*t Matthew Kelly.
sorrysorrysorry - no, not really.
Wol
Well, dash it - simulled.
They think they have 'Stars in their Eyes'
Projoy
Which flew down from the vault of the skies
Chalky
If only they knew
Darren
They're just specks of poo
Raak
And the promise of fame is all lies.
Projoy
My handbag's possessed by a demon
Projoy
Actually, forget that. Not very rhymable.
Copernicus brought down the Earth
rab
To a much more acceptable girth
Chalky
He then set about
Juxtapose
To prove without doubt
Rosie
what heliocentricity's worth.
(Projoy) Your HAND-BAAAG??
Software
Father Christmas has multiple forms

But one nature, to which they all conform
