You may be in peril
If you label me sterile
But in one way I'm more than content-
If you care to look closely, sterile and Carol
Only rhyme with American accent.

And in other matters:

Clancy and fancy
Is too obvious a rhyme
And nobody wants to be 'antsy'
It sure is a challenge
But just give it time
At least her name is not Nancy.

Kirk rhymes with jerk -
But that gets me in trouble
And anyway, its simply not true
He'd sure burst my bubble
My woes would be double
And my world would turn horribly blue.

Wake up Kenny, its your turn!

Thanks Steve, Thanks Kriss{any ideas?}


To uphold some compliancy
about rhyming with our Clancy
I've come out of my dormancy
to say I like her elegancy
though my skills are still in infancy
I hope I didn't show any arrogancy


My Dear Miss Carol
I was talking to Darryl
about a wild cat we think is a feral
that he bought his wife Cheryl
seems it likes to watch old movies
starring mr Flynn, first name Errol


Tag..your it

You are scraping the barrel
In your rhymings with Carol
Your efforts are worthy and long
If you really did care
You would give us a scare
And put all of these words into song!

double tag!

What really would scare
is under my hair
thats a face belonging to me
I would take up your dare
but it wouldn't be fair
using all the bandwidth for tee hee's

I can see that a dare
Could certainly scare
But you have talent to boot
So give it a go,
Just go with the flow-
You could always switch over to flute.

Flutes can be cool
I'm nobody's fool
I know when I'm being reeled in
with pen and paper my tool
I shall head off to school
but feel I might come up thin



PS: Whats the subject matter again? LOL

You make a good point
I am right out of joint
Gone off-beam by the lure of the patter
If I've led you astray
In the heat of the fray
I hope you'll agree, it don't matter?

Please forgive the bad grammar
Its better than stammer
In the effort to find a good rhyme
If its really a crime
I'll have to do time
Locked away in the depths of the slammer.

Not scared of a dare


In the middle of the garden
draped with flowered apparel
looking unused and abandoned
stands an empty wheelbarrel

Upon its old broken handle
sits a little grey sparrow
singing out his melody
with such sadness and sorrow

It was a heartbreaking tune
like the miss of cupids arrow
and at the same time as lovely
as winning a dare made by Carol

This took a few hours
from the day before tomorrow
but now that its complete
I'll go back to my sombrero

Calling this a real song
a close call oh so narrow
but it sure was a challenge
so how'd I do Miss Carol...

Who would have thought
Such a worthy retort
Could find so much rhyming with Carol
I sure do like 'narrow'
Much better than 'barrel'
But 'wheelbarrow' scores you a nought.

The rhyme 'sparrow's OK
In a bird sort of way
But the rhyme that I'm liking by far
Is the one 'cupid's arrow' -
So much better than sparrow
And instantly makes you a star

I have some concern
That this jousting could turn
Into something beyond all good reason
If it goes on much more
We could get shown the door
With our posting rights stopped for the season

Perhaps some good members
Would be our defenders
They might even write pleas, and then file'em
They would have to be quick
'Cos we'd be in the nick
If we didn't end up in Asylum.

  Too much fun!

Ya'll are having entirely too much fun!!!
With prose and verse and puns,
I think the real test
Is to see if you give it a rest!!!


Music is a universal language!

Should we call lit a draw
Or d'you want to play more?
If you want I will happily persist
It has always been friendly
And 'though not very trendy -
A temptation that's hard to resist.

I'm not sure if that is a compliment or not Les, it's probably not on my list of things I want to achieve in life, but I'll take it as one anyway- thanks.
