Can I be more mundane than that, or am I missing the point?
Oh! Pointy fish! Oh pointy, pointy.
Anoint my head, anointy-nointy!
[sup]OK, someone tell me where the hell that comes from… it’s gonna be in my head all day now…[/sup]
I liked your verse, it’s very rhymey
but it went whoosh, this timey-timey.
Are you sure you didn’t make it up?
Astroboy14, you’re thinking of a poem Steve Martin used in Roxanne and maybe one or two other places. The original is “pointy birds,” though.
And that is mundane right there.
The Straight Dope is indeed a wonderful resource. I’m glad we’ve gotten that squared away.
Nothing Rhymes With Nostril
Or ‘orange.’
Welcome Ivan. I googled your name out of curiosity. Are you a TOGS forum-goer, or perhaps the CEO of Vieux Malheureusement!

So the squid was brought forth
With the message, “Head north!”
And, with goats in tow, we soon did cast 'im off!
(I’m just kiddin’, Ivan, you’re great! Stick around!)
Is that your normal practice, or is it just for people with suspicious sounding Russkie names?
I’m afraid I don’t belong to either of those forums. I hope that’s not too disappointing.
Oh, and thanks for the welcome.

You know, I’ve just come accross this dire badger. What say we put it to work?
Or ‘silver’ but ‘liver’ comes pretty close. Speaking of, who fed all the liver to the squid? It stinks in there now.
Door hinge.
Along with purple, indigo, and turquoise! What is it with these colours and their aversion to being rhymed?
Indigo and turquoise yes, but everyone knows that purple rhymes with light urple.
Sorry Autolycus, but I’m going to call your bluff and ask for a literary cite there!!
When come back, pie has you!
