With Eutychus' permission, I humbly present Brain Games #5: Burma Shave

The ad is good.
The rhymes are many.
I went to the store
and could not find any.
BURMA-SHAVE

A dead celeb?
We’ll dance the hora
Arm in arm
With Phil and Flora.
BURMA-SHAVE

Golfers go and.
Golfers come
there is only one Flora
So lets all drink some rum.
BURMA-SHAVE

No shaving cream
Near check-out lines
Went outta business
Buying signs
BURMA-SHAVE

I think I’ve found,
My second wind,
I think I’ll now,
Go get ginned.
BURMA-SHAVE

Uncle Beer has the right idea
Once a second wind is found.
The time is right
to go drink a round.
BURMA-SHAVE

I shave and scrape
My blues away
The only Rum I need
Is Bay.
BURMA-SHAVE

You can’t find,
Burma Shave?
Here’s a link,
Now behave.

Dopeler effect:
The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

Damn this is fun.

His whiskered chin
She judged a crime
And sentenced him
To the five and dime
BURMA-SHAVE


And the problem with small furry animals
in corners is that, just occasionally,
one of them’s a mongoose.
Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad

I think this thread,
Has caught fire,
With some luck,
It won’t expire.
BURMA-SHAVE

I went to that link.
I saw all their stuff.
After shopping with them.
My face will never be rough.
BURMA-SHAVE

UncleBeer!
That’s the best by far!
I’m headin’ there now
To buy a jar!

Uke

An email I just wrote.
Was written in Burma verse.
When I get the reply.
How i hate to see a good friend curse.
BURMA-SHAVE

Oh, Alpha, dear–
Your rhyme (or prose?)
Just made my tea
Go up my nose!

So next that
Celebs “go south”
I’ll tip my hat
And shut my mouth

BURMA SHAVE

Guess what folks,
This is catching,
Soon our friends,
Will be retching.
BURMA-SHAVE

(sorry 'bout the return to vomiting)

A second wind
is fine and well
if it’s not
the kind you smell

Poor Manhattan.
He will get the shakes.
If no New Yorker deigns
To go drink lakes.
BURMA-SHAVE

That American look
clean-cut and true
Is what it took
To make me kiss you

Burma Shave


La franchise ne consiste pas à dire tout ce que l’on pense, mais à penser tout ce que l’on dit.
H. de Livry

Can’t rhyme enough
To keep up with y’all
Don’t want to muff
My career call

A bit late to barge in,
Is one who admires
Your eloquent wit:
The Coldest of Fires !
