my screen it went blank

More of a bang really, s'bit of a bugger really...
Rosie
Not surprised, to be frank

As the file was served as a TIFF

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Projoy
We're going to visit, because

I'm hoping he'll give

me reason to live

In the back, by a gun

By a militant nun

Whom he'd made agreeably hot.
Kim
The building site over the road
Projoy
Can be entered by keying the code
irach
"GNISSAPSERT_TON_MI_ON"
Phil
Which should open Gate 1
Falstaff
What drops, squishing you flat as a toad
Marc
One night as she opened her door
rab
She noticed an absence of floor
Software
"Oh, what has become ... "
Hanging quote warning!
Irouléguy
"of my hall - how rum..."
Warning extended
Rosie
"that it looked like this after the war."
...oldie...
(Softers, IrG) Why close the quotes, then?
irach
I heard a loud "Squish" in the hall
Software
But on checking, there was f*ck all
Rosie
It must be my ears
(Softers) Have the courage of your profanity. :-)
Darren
They've been waxy for years
Projoy
And go "squish" till I give them a trawl.
The animals entered in twos
irach
The Ark was more cramped than most zoos
Chalky
Survival became
(.. unfinished sen ..)
Rosie
The name of the game
Marc
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
Software
Emerged from their lair
Chalky
To size up the animal feast!
Chalky
Hors d'oeuvre was a Hamster En Croute
Phil
With a garnish of fricasséed newt

And a cherry coulis

A glass of cat's pee

And little dungballs en mazout.

He still sings the blues

Having nothing to loose
Darren
And writes fan mail to Catherine Deneuve
Rosie
Whilst disinfecting the loo
irach
I noticed the pee left by Pooh
Software
'T was all over the seat
Marc
And it covered my feet
Darren
I can't potty train him; can you?
Projoy
I'm gaming with each of your minds
F'staff
By undressing with open blinds
Marc
Exposing my Long-Johns,
Chalky
[I'd put on the wrong ones]
[Marc] thanks a bunch :-)
penelope
And showing my Oxfam shop finds
Projoy
The higher you climb up the pole
irach
The harder to reach your prime goal
Software
Especially when
Kim
The bosses are men
Chalky
, iguanas, or fillies in foal
Chalky
Perfection is hard to achieve
Darren
Yet if I fail, then I must leave
Projoy
, Commit hara-kiri,
Salamander Pudding
The philosophical theory
Raak
That death will, less than failure, aggrieve.
Rosie
Few people are practised at pottery
irach
At the wheel I'm all shaky and tottery
Salamander Pudding
Don't mention the glaze
Darren
I applied in a daze
Projoy
Simul'ed - I had (
And, my God, all those clays!
)
The result at the end is a lottery
Chalky
For seven and fourpence a week
Blob
One could dress quite remarkably chic
Kim
In 1908
Projoy
But I fear that, of late,
Salamander Pudding
You'd be kicked out of any boutique
hemline
Phil
I fear that disorder is rife
Rosie
In the one-time Kingdom of Fife
irach
The serfs in Fife's fiefs
Raak
Are revolting their chiefs

And denouncing the works of John Keats.
SalPud
The looters are seen on the telly
irach
Raiding grocery shelves to steal jelly
Software
Let's enforce martial law
Darren
And give them what for

For they have no
casus belli.

Botherer
Who escaped from the hog farm are mine!
Waiting for cereal killer reference
Projoy
[Both] I was shooting for a Lib Dem Homo affairs topic there, but no matter :)
Marc
We'll return now to order,
Software
Redefining the border
Phil
Of what's pink and what's pork - so that's fine.
Juxtapose
At dinner there's only one topic
Raak
Should the Liberals choose Lembit Öpik
irach
Should we fear asteroids
Rosie
Shall I take my steroids
Kim
Should we worry 'bout things microscopic?
To be continued....
Software
Charles Kennedy - all is forgiven
Projoy
We know why to drink you were driven.
Darren
Your bright ginger hair
Rosie
The Lib Dems' shape? Pear
jim
It makes your life hardly worth livin'
Rosie
My niece tells me Campbell's a minger
. . . . continuing the theme . . . .
Darren
She says I should give him the finger
Mick Smetaphor
But to play devil's A
Raak
Even dogs have their day
Irouléguy
And give him his due, he's not ginger
Projoy
A description I have of Chris Huhne
SalPud
Mentions a Yellow Baboon
- hope that rhymes???
Darren
As seen from the rear
irach
He inspires great fear
Rosie
That all of a sudden he'll moon.
(SalPud) Well, not really, but I'll go along with it. :-)
irach
Is the moon tonight waxing or waning?
Rosie
No-one can say, 'cos it's raining
Botherer
The raindrops that fall
penelope
Let me see b*gger all
Projoy
Which is why I am loudly profaning.
Rosie
The good folk of Maidenhead, Berks
F'staff
Are known by their conspicuous quirks
Software
'Cos their bland little town
[F'staff] in UK 'Berks' is pronounced 'barks' for your future enlightenment
Marc
We have turned upside down
[Software] what’s UK?
Kim
And moved up to Bromsgrove in Worcs.
Juxtapose
I once hopped a train to Helsinki
[i,R,B,p,P - nice] [Marc - United Kingdom. England et. al.]
Kim
Where I met a strange man (well, I think he...
Botherer
Was strange and quite rude
Software
Using language quite crude
Chalky
Whilst flashing his wee willy winkie)
well - I HAD to close the parentheses somehow, didn't I?
Botherer
A terrible fellow called Lance
Raak
Was never invited to dance
Rosie
His lumbering gait
(penultimate Lim) - Catastrophe in F# for five voices, K627.
irach
And his greasy bald pate
penelope
Forced rebuttals to any advance
Marc
Wolfgang Amadeus once said:
Kim
"I've got this great riff in my head".
Projoy
It's Eine fine riff
Juxtapose
But now Mozart's a stiff
Darren
His music is also quite dead.
irach
Was Wolfgang Amadeus called "Mo"?
Darren
I think his fans all need to know.
Rosie
For they are devout
Projoy
When they hear his "The Trout"
-
Yeah, yeah, but what Mozart piece ends with "out"?
Rosie
Which starts on
Sol
but ends on
Doh
.
(Projoy) All trad jazz numbers end with an "out chorus", so-called.
irach
In contrast, the "Trout", Schubert's best
Projoy
Should be witnessed while wearing one's vest
Juxtapose
Not to look dashing,
Software
But rather, just flashing
Darren
The orchestra with your bare breast
Darren
[Rosie] I wasn't aware Mozart was involved with trad jazz.
Tuj
Jim Mozart, that king of trad jazz
irach
And Correa, (that's Chuck and

Don't forget Parker
Salamander Pudding
His music's much darker
Irouléguy
Just the thing for a night on the razz
Projoy
My little imaginary pig

Wears a
syrup-of-fig
Rosie
It's from California

All pink, and named Sonia
Kim
Wow, man, great acid, you dig?

Juxtapose
I once bought a kilo of coke
Software
With it my fire to stoke
Projoy
But the fizz had all gone
Chalky
So I downed it in one
irach
And that's when I started to choke
Kim
A feller named Ludwig van Beet
Chalky
The end of his name did delete
irach
His tune for Elise
Rosie
Can be played with some ease
(Chalky) That doesn't rhyme! I dunno, woman of your calibre.
Projoy
With your heart, with your hands, with your feet
penelope
[Kim] Have you heard Chalky
speak
? She's dreadfully posh, she'd get away with it.
This booklet is missing some pages
Rosie
My interest it no more engages
(pen) Did you mean that for me? :-)
Software
'Cos the bits taken out
Tuj
Were the ones all about
[Rosie] "Beet" "delete", it's quite fine :P
Chalky
The cut in our Directors' wages
