'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

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
Software
By offering the use of their wife
Kim
There's panic and fear on the streets!
Raak
They resound to the mob's trampling feets!
Salamander Pudding
Setting buildings ablaze
Projoy
And undoing their stays
Rosie
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
Rosie
For they have no
casus belli.
Projoy
It's Oat-en the open - those swine

Botherer
Who escaped from the hog farm are mine!
Waiting for cereal killer reference

[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....

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

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

His lumbering gait

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
not
Chaz.)
Software
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
irach
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
*blithely ignores Rosie's irony bypass*
:-)
Botherer
It's such a big shame that the boss
Projoy
Aims never for profit, but loss
Raak
He's as stupid as sh*t
Rosie
Which his arse doth em*t
(Chalky) Not at all, m'dear. I wouldn't have put it up if I fought you was like higgonorant (Yes I would)
Software
But the workers don't give a toss
Kim
If I'd known it would cause so much strife
(Re: the one before last)
Phil
I would never have married my wife
Marc
Cause here rhyming is bad,
Raak
And her scansion is sad
(assuming here=her)
Rosie
In fact I don't know what she's on about half the time.
Projoy
Salaciously creeping around
Botherer
With my belly quite close to the ground
Kim
I bite on her heel
Raak
And erotic'ly kneel
Marc
Then howl like a love-seeking hound
Marc
Caressing my neck-hairs she said:
irach
"I really wish you were dead"
Yorik
"So I could shag your corpse"
[rhyming challenge]
Raak
From here to Cleethorpes
Raak
(imagine inverted commas suitably arranged)
Phil
But I'll settle for Grimsby instead"
Projoy
I'm counting the ways that I love
penelope
Each finger's own place in a glove
Pave
Though it's with mittens I'm smitten
Juxtapose
Thus I've written the worst love poems in Britain
when in Rome...
Marc
With my middle finger raised high above
... don't do as the other nuts do!
Marc
There once will be peace in this valley,
Projoy
And soon we were counting the tally
Chalky
Of those now departed
time space continuum r us
Rosie
As off they are carted
Lucky them . . . .
Anon
to Bristol, to rot in an alley
or dropped from an overhang onto a passing garbage scow
Chalky
The prodigal son doth return
Pave
With a listhp and bad cathe of thun burn
I don't know any more than anybody else, okay!
Projoy
The fatted calf lows
Raak
Snicker-snack! So it goes
Darren
For his sound effects CD we yearn
Pave
A cat in a hat once said,
Juxtapose
"Please get this daft thing off my head
open quote alert
Rosie
Or I'll crap on your chair
irach
Cough up balls of my hair
Projoy
And put mice and dead birds in your bed"
Salamander Pudding
A School Bus Driver once said
Projoy
"This bus driving won't keep me fed"
Rosie
So he nicks all the sweeties
Chalky
Contracts diabeeties
penelope
And from hypoglycaemia's'dead
a grim tale for anyone thinking about stealing confectionery
Kim
I like stealing candy from kids
SalPud
Except little Suzy McLids
Botherer
'Cause her's is all covered
Anon
with drool, where she's hovered
irach
And will transmit diseases like SIDS
Projoy
I act as the spoke in the wheel
Anonymouse
with lots of bananas to peel,
Pave
I'm a fruit addict, see?
Rosie
No scurvy knave, me
irach
As I prepare my vitamin meal
Marc
There once was a Lady so lewd,
Rosie
That even the Essex Men booed
nights
For when she disrobed
Blob
With her fingers she probed
- I can feel a coat requirement coming on.
Raak
And outdid the goatse.cx man for good.
Yes, it's a URL. No, you don't want to see it. NSA (Not Safe Anywhere).
Projoy
At the times when I haven't a clue
Chalky
I tend to join hands with a gnu
[I'm clearly certifiable]
irach
We smear the vast veldt
Anon
With wildebeest smelt
Marc
Then go for some females to screw
(Bestial behavior amongst all those animals...)
Kim
I'm sure to enjoy Lanzarote
penelope
I've heard it's not rainy or grotty
Projoy
But instead, clean and sunny
Phil
Good value for money,
Irouléguy
Two bottles of wine for a zloty
Marc (cont'd)
For free you'll get crabs at the loo
[sim]potty
Raak
You can boil them in lye to make glue
Rosie
And should you be "loose"
jim
Feel free to make use
penelope
Of the paper. Use one square, not two.
Marc
Each night we'll swim (nude) in the pool
jim
Please join us ...I guarantee you'll
anonymouse
have fun and get wet,
Projoy
Which is not all you'll get

When we swim, (nude) in the pool.

And should we decide to get dressed
Irouléguy
The bishop will have us all blessed
Juxtapose
Our midnight baptism
Darren
May well cause a schism
irach
If Janet exposes her breast
nights
Janet was always an odd sort
Phil
Aroused by the chance she'd get caught
Marc
Though her legs she keeps crossed,
Rosie
She frets at the cost
Darren
Of all the rude clothing she bought
irach
Yet Janet J's infamous bro
Marc
Don’t like when the nose he must blow
Projoy
But he'll blow something else
Projoy
OK, try again,
But he'll blow other things
Marc
While undressing his strings
Jermain
Like a flute, a trumpet, or a oboe
Rosie
While scoffing a lemon curd tart
Raak
I felt a slight pain in my heart
Software
T'was indigestion
Darren
Which did beg the question
Marc
“What did cause that loud smelly fart?”
Projoy
Explain, then, how drums came to be
Darren
They sound much too noisy to me
Rosie
And as for the cymbals
irach
They're cacophonic symbols
Raak
Of storm, strife, and turbulent sea.
Projoy
I wish that my friends were not feckless
Chalky
And had guarded my new diamond necklace
:-(
Salamander Pudding
But instead they got high
Botherer
On hash cakes (with rye)
Juxtapose
And peckish, they ate it for breakfast
