Weekends bring a self-imposed ban, It’s part of my overall plan, So glad to retrieve, and give a reprieve, I’m doing the best that I can. ---

There once was a young lady of Charlotte who had dreams of becoming a harlot. But when she discovered she must be uncovered her whole body turned three shades of scarlet. ---

Once a lass rode a train out of London. Upon finding her stays were undone cried "Such freedom! In Dorsett I’ll unlace my corset! And by Bristol her bustle was gone. ---

There was a young woman so striking, Her adornment made her a Viking, She said, “we competed, and are still undefeated”, Her sentiment is to my liking. (Hi Spider!!!) ---

Hi Styler, I started to worry when this weekend none were in a hurry to post at this thread (I feared it was almost dead) but on Monday now back we all scurry. -----🙂 —////\\ ---

I hope you don’t think I’m some guy Who only posts rhymes on the fly. It is not some odd quirk That I just post from work For no home computer have I. ---

I do my best not to prejudge, And I never shelter a grudge, When we are away, the thread will decay, So it helps to give it a nudge. ---

There was a cheesehead who liked dopin.’ On these boards he was seen to be mopin.’ Cuz the rhymes that he scans Are typed by Vikes fans And the Pack don’t look good (but here’s hopin’) ---

The Packer’s of old are no more, In fact, the Pack is a bore, The defense it sucks, (they sure aint the Bucs), Why even the Falcons can score! ---

Like **Bottle of Smoke** I am working, or to be more precise, I am shirking. There’s nothing to do, so I’ll post again, too: here’s to more rhymes and more smirking. ---

The Pack’s defense is not that which reeks. They’ve allowed just six points in two weeks! Problem is, I attest Favre still thinks he’s the best But sometimes his head’s stuck 'tween his cheeks. ---

Hey **vix** – shirking I just can’t resist. I’ve got numbers to crunch, sales to list. But instead I post rhymes On my company’s time If my boss finds out, he’ll be quite pissed. ---

Yeah, same here… Though editing earns me my pay, the most challenging thing in my day is reading these Boards and thinking up words to cast gleefully into the fray. ---

A boss that is pissed aint unique, It won’t make the news of the week, They rant and they rave, then tell all that they gave, At the office, the irate pipsqueack. ---

I’m showing the signs of relief, And my fading feelings of grief, Are simply because, the spider’s guffaws, Were not swept away by a thief. (Sorry spider – not many good rhymes for “because”!)
