Darren
In ways which are better not spoken
Raak

Raak
Oops, I didn't notice the "are" in the first line, or I imagined a "which", so mine makes no grammatical sense. Try this instead:
One's New Year intention
Rosie
Of modest dimension
Phil
Is less use than a £1 book token

My father would often insist

Raak
So he showed us with flair
penelope
He put hand to mouth, and he missed

Who knew a young lady called Sharon
Rosie
The one was delightful
irach
The other, most frightful
Projoy
But both will be punted by Charon
This scotch in my slippers is yummy
Puckoon
The taste is OK, but it smells hummy

The aroma's not peaty
Uncle Korky
But rather quite meaty
penelope
And smells like my feety, says Mummy
Tuj
Have you ever been in a canoe?
Projoy
And if so, do you know what to do...

(As a PDF, not a GIF)
Count Jim ‘Thighs’ Moriarty
my screen it went blank

More of a bang really, s'bit of a bugger really...
Rosie
Not surprised, to be frank
Software
As the file was served as a TIFF
irach
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Projoy
We're going to visit, because
Darren
I'm hoping he'll give
Rosie
me reason to live
. . . . sad . . . .

...so true....

Hanging quote warning!
Irouléguy
"of my hall - how rum..."
Warning extended

(Softers, IrG) Why close the quotes, then?
irach
I heard a loud "Squish" in the hall

Darren
They've been waxy for years

The Ark was more cramped than most zoos
Chalky
Survival became
(.. unfinished sen ..)

The name of the game

Let's see what they found on their cruise
Marc
As Noah had hoisted his sails,
Irouléguy
The elephants lifted their tails
A fair wind ensued
Darren
(Albeit quite rude)
Projoy
And threw Japeth and Shem o'er the rails
blamelewis
'Twas then that the flood did commence
Juxtapose
And swept the menagerie hence
Rosie
Alas, few could swim
irach
So Noah sang out a hymn
penelope
To save all from a damp consequence
Projoy
But it fell on deaf ears, floods increased
Rosie
The rain, though, had long ago ceased
I'm sure there's a hydrological explanation.
irach
Then the crocodile pair

Emerged from their lair

To size up the animal feast!
