You’ll get no agreement from _this_ dude!  
I think it is neat,  
In America, my feet  
can be seen … whoa! Hey! What a 'luude!

I agree (quite clearly),  
I couldn’t so nearly,  
put it like that. Perhaps I’ll rehearse!

I’m thrilled to be feted in rhyme  
By a poet who’s in his or her prime  
The 'za was delish  
A memorable dish  
Because garnished with basil, not thyme.  
Sorry, all, I lack the flair y’all have at these.

So many Dopers are great at this rhyming,  
And a few of us should be excused for trying,  
\*\*EddyTeddyFreddy \*\* has set us this task,  
I wonder what next \*\*Idle Thoughts \*\* will ask,  
As we celebrate the [new \*\*Briston \*\* baby arriving](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=345946).

No, that game is a separate kind  
Of composing. There, you will find  
You must use what’s been **bold** ed  
By the last poster, folded  
Into your verse. A new word defined

By your _bold_ing you set for the next  
Fathomite who’s inspired by your text  
To engage in the frolic  
A new word, while italic  
Points out the last word’s been addressed.

So, what’s new in MPSIMS today? Ah:

**Marlitharn** cops a chickeny feel  
**Anastasaeon** went biking

And **Maureen** gives us Joan’s meltdown spiel.

Awhile back I met **MaxTheVool**  
And I thought he was pretty cool.  
[Seems](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=6687761&postcount=8) he’s spent some time,  
Where my heart always pines,  
And his cousins and I went to school.

Two days with no posts, this thread dives.  
Then **ETF** , with a post here, arrives.  
Then **honeydewgrrl**

Our modest OP, **EddyT.Freddy** ,  
Was caught wearing naught but a teddy.  
She spread her lithe arms  
Across her sweet charms  
And shrieked, “ **BJMoose** , you are _dead_!” Eee!!

Disclaimer: the above is not a flirt. Nor is it a wishing of death upon a poster (a death wish on my part may be another matter. . .).

They say that **Quatop the Magician**  
Is quite the Galenic physician.  
He could prescribe pills  
For all of our ills,  
But setting us straight is his mission.
