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:
The posting of No Clue Boy enlightens me
there is a particular pattern I see
or is Real_372
thinking of haiku?
Am I posting improperly?
Real, my lad, don’t bother your head
About breaking the rules of this thread
Whether lim’rick or haiku
These jokers all like you
It’s Blonde’s off’rings that they all dread.
Sweet Blondie, the time’s come, I see,
For my most heartfelt ap-pol-lo-gee
I was wrong to have dissed;
though the scansion I missed,
I should have forebore. Pardon me.
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.
This thread did not trip or stumble,
Did not fall apart or crumble.
It just was Threadspotted
t’s crossed and i’s dotted
By Jenny, TubaDiva, your humble.
If the thread’s about poop or poopoo
Caca, shit, or doodoo.
Piss or peepee
And speak of weewee.
Who’ll post in the loo? lieu
Musicat said to Jenny, our Tuba
Diva, “Here’s a thread I think you’ve a
Good reason to stick
In the Threadspotting pick.”
ETF’s now ecstatic: “Woo-HOO-va!”
kaylasdad99 wandered in
Annie-Xmas did lieu with a grin
Then Real_372
Said, “Hey, I’ve got it too!”
It’s a harmless amusement, no sin.
LolaBaby, jurhael, and bluethree,
Twist of Fate, Mama Tiger will be
With pepperlandgirl
And Aesiron awhirl,
featherlou, iampunha, DtC!*
*Yes, I know it doesn’t make much sense. It’s doggerel, not Poetry.
The stern doesn’t mean I’ve oft glowered,
Nor is it a tribute to Howard.
It refers not to the aft
Of a boat or a raft,
But suggests that I am Star-powered.
And now, my goddess named Julie,
I implore you to answer me truly.
When confronted with crisis,
Do you look more like Isis
Or like Hera when Zeus was unruly?
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
kaylasdad99,
Hurry, hurry! Be the first in line,
To see ScoobyDoo2
Kids: “whoohoo!”
$40 for two hours of drivel,
A bargain! You say,
And resolve to see Scooby4
On the very next cold August day.
Hideous movie. Except one shining moment: Fred and Daphne kissed at the end! 
Scooby THREE I meant to say,
My apologies to all this fine day.
It’s 04/04/04 and the wheel keeps on turning,
OneYogini is in the house
And the limericks, they are a’burning!
Blonde, I intend by no means to act as your teacher
but as *Scooby * may be a near-legendary creature
I think it may behoove you
and in turn will improve too
your posts, if you learn to use the “spoiler” feature
Not that I care, you see, about the slip-up
I can concede it as merely a hiccup
in the quickness of our posts
I think I’d request of the hosts
use of the “edit” when having made a f*#$-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.
[SIZE=1]jjAs long as the wheels are turning, As long as the fires are burning,
As long as your prayers are coming true - You better believe it - !That I would do anything for love!
[/SIZE=1]
Yikes! The hamsters hate me tonight…
