My tongue was sharp, and my patience was dull
Since I ate too much today, and I am too full.
I meant it in good spirit, in a joking mood;
I’ll sacrifice this rhyme to ask "What else rhymes with “-works”?
perks?
jerks?
cirque
lurk
But…what else rhymes with gravy
Besides ‘navy’ and ‘Davey’?
Jess, Jess, Jess
I fear I must protest
This isn’t all about the
the gravy so sublime
It’s about ME this time
Well, the topic is food
To which subject I’m wooed.
Yes, I like it a bunch
So I’ll set you a poser:
What’s better for lunch
Than a nice hot samosa?
And here is a quote,
Roger Miller, you’ll note:
“Roses are red and violets are purple.
Sugar is sweet and so’s maple surple.”
I see that it’s a trend
For many of these verses to end
In a line that doesn’t rhyme
At least half the time
Like this one; I feel better now. 
July the Fourth, ringing that Liberty Bell,
We just got back from a neighborhood party from hell.
Thought it would be fun,
And encountered drunk weirdos under the sun.
Nice house! I thought,
Never coming back, and please remit the cost of the $15 snack I brought.
I’m taking my two boys out on our front porch to watch fireworks in the sky,
Happy 4th, bye!
I like this thread, I really do
The trouble is with some of you.
This thread needs spice, it needs pizazz!
It must flow freely, like verbal jazz.
It is thus this goal that I submit:
Let us use our rhyming to start some shit.
Think your meter is solid, your verse is strong?
You got nothing, chump, bring it on.
The cops up the street have the GREAT BIG fireworks
So now the Young Tigers want to go back for more.
Apparently the illegal stuff is one of the perks
For the local constabulary – makes us all sore!
Start some shit? How do you mean?
Do you really speak of the kind that’s not clean?
Trust me, old pal, I will be feeling the heat
When I’m done with this brunch that took forever to eat.
But, let’s not be too crass, and with that I’ll guess
That you meant not excrement, but the kind that is less
Associated with such a intelligent thread that we made;
The kind that consists of boasts, and gets absolutely no-one ‘laid’.
Oh, there I go, not practicing what I preach;
From me, no less, who’s quite a poetic leech.
I stumbled through, saw your post, and just had to say
That I’ll meet your challenge any old day!
See? You use “gravy” and you have a hit on yer hands. It’s GENIOUS.
It doesn’t have to be the rhyming word. 
OK, here’s another:
Gravy, gravy, thick and brown
Used on meals all over town
Eilsel says it’s all about her
But without gravy, she’s just a blur.
So maybe it’s not my best work.
see help…you, you…
sigh
never mind…I’m going back to my drink
I think
because it’s tasty
and I need to be wastey
groannn
that’s supposed to be SEEK help. lol
ROFLOL have another rita, darlin’.
Oh, jess…there you go;
Despite your intentions, you’ve killed the flow.
You’ve heard Giraffe, he won’t like that.
But, about that I could give the ass of a rat.

Frampton’s playing now in Philly
And I know that this may seem silly,
But the sound is great and so is the mix,
Right now it feels like 1976.
OK, Joe, I’ll try to reform
So Giraffe will be happier than a guy named Norm;
Norm was my favorite character on Cheers,
Simply because he loved all the beers.
I’m not really sure how he felt about gravy,
But if he didn’t like it, he was probably crazy.
How’d I do?
[small]snerk <-- that’s for you, Eilsel![/small]
And p.s. my code sucks. Sigh.
GAAAAAA not the snerk
that’s something from
a big fat jerk
