> [@Tentacle Monster](#): > > Nothing rhymes with Monster, and the only thing that rhymes with Tentacle is pentacle. You’re right, Mister **Monster** with **Tentacles** that nothing quite rhymes except pentacles. But consider this offering that I am proffering, lest you overlook all your appendicles. ---

There once was a **Monster Tentacle** He had a 'tude that was quite cynical The big trouble rhyming Is that it throws off the timing And makes any post look tyrannical The back two syllables rhyme, you see, doesn’t always have to be the whole word. ---

Who is this Real? With the rhyming appeal? I’ll post a little about me for all members to see I have a compulsion of rythmic convulsions I’ve kept them at bay For fear of what I’d say risk sounding a fool to look like a tool There are volumes more like this in store And some others with twists I must, I insist. Drop a name to remain \*\*Blondes \*\* have more fun I wonder if you’ll dig this one ---

Nor does it always have to be an _exact_ rhyme… The Doper named **Tentacle Monster** Loved cheese and his fav’rite was Muenster Then came from the kitchen The sound of his bitchin’ See, we 'd thrown his foul cheese in the dumpster Don’t let the mistaken idea of the perfect rhyming of every syllable squash your creativity, gang! ---

**ETF** pondered on a Saturday night, How the dark side will lose the battle against the light. Drifting oft to sleep, with the cats close by **ETF** solved the mysteries of the world by and by. All and one were close to napping, And suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at her chamber door. We’re OUTTA HERE! We said… nevermore. :eek: ---

Harmless is up when she should be in bed laying, On the computer writing limericks & playing. Stoned out of her brain, Her constant refrain Is, “Umm….what was it I was just saying?” 😛 I think I had better go back to bed after that one. ---

Poor **Sampiro** with the relative “Paralee” It’s an odd name for sure, we can see but it must be said that his family’s homestead was probably in Southern Tennessee So this opens the window to think that maybe this family “went kink” and slept with their kin agin’ and agin’ like they do in the South in an eye blink * * * That \*\*EvilHamsterOnCrack \*\* made me giggle as I imagine his/her hamster’s a-wiggle when posting each time and trying to rhyme it makes their wee bellies jiggle. * * * Has **ShibbOleth** ’s name been done yet? I think it’s about time, lest we for-get. as we plan the Floridope-fest lots of bar-b-que we’ll in-jest non-attendance I’m sure you’ll regret. Which reminds me of **FairyChatMom** who has recently been quite aplomb as her leaving is near let her know she is dear and we’ll miss her here at [Straightdope.com](http://Straightdope.com) ---

**Blonde** , I intend by no means to act as your teacher but as \*Scooby \* may be a near-legendary creature I think it may behoove you and in turn will improve too your posts, if you learn to use the “spoiler” feature Not that I care, you see, about the slip-up I can concede it as merely a hiccup in the quickness of our posts I think I’d request of the hosts use of the “edit” when having made a f\*#$-up I’m not perfect in posts either, you’ll find so please do keep that in mind I mean no disrespect for my posts oft appear wrecked and I’ve too received a swift kick to the behind ---

**OneYogini** - you are right, How on earth could have I made that slight? If you haven’t seen Scooby2, You’ve nothing to do, But turn your eyes away, 'cause I’ll give the whole plot away tonight. Velma isn’t a lesbian, Scooby and Shaggy are heros at last. Don’t waste your money, See this movie coming to cable (fast). Daphne and Fred, together it’s true. This we always knew.
