Within this thread, we rhyme instead

Good one there from jr8
I’d like to write one just as great,
But my poetic skills are sort of lame
But I’ll just post this just the same.

A perfect rhyme to rival Otto
(who must be incommunicado)
sorry

There once was a boy from Mandingo
who couldn’t get hold of the lingo.
A girl, to his face,
said “What a disgrace!”
now he pleasures her with his fingo.

Oh PLEASE tell me I didn’t really post this?

I should be shot
for posting such rot.

Nikie, I will excuse
This inane poetic travesty that you choose.
For, it seems that the Poets have been notified
Of this charming thread in which my patience is tried.

With that, I admit, my spelling skills are shot.
It’s Mikie, not Nikie…I’ve been sleeping a lot.

Surely, though, you must have spied
The reference to The Princess Bride?

I am scheduled to see
The Princess Bride (not TV)
this night with some friends
how shall it all end?

I’ve not seen it anonce
(Nothing to rhyme with anonce)
So I shall quite here. Posthaste,
What a waste.

I don’t have the swoosh
but many a time
there has been a whoosh
–even in rhyme.

my current headspace can be explained thusly:

my brain has gone down the drain
has anyone seen where it went?
maybe it’s gone to Spain on the train
or declared itself Duchess of Kent…

boredom and projects do not mix
am I doing all this just for kicks?
I don’t mean the cereal, ya freaks!
just something to fill up the weeks…
Okay, crap poem… and I certainly can’t do any better than that. :stuck_out_tongue:

There once was a member named Mellenkra
Whose poems on the web he was sellin’kra
There were heaps of takers,
And quite a few fakers,
Where it will all end, there’s no tellin’kra

For those whose memory this slipped,
Here’s the excerpt from the script:

Thank you for rhyming my name Chefguy!
How many poems would you like to buy?

Now this guy is truly dramatical;
Using my name in a poem, how grammatical.
If ever searching for rhyme,
Surely I’ll take the time,
To buy only poems Mellenkratical.

I was linked here by a friend!
Will his rhyming never end?
Always he is spouting prose!
It’s not all bad though, I suppose.
He usually makes me laugh.
Which is a pleasant aftermath.
But I often have to stop and ponder,
How of such a person I couldn’t be fonder.
Someone who always forces the question.
What’s the deal with the pirate obsession?

Write a poem on pie? What a difficult job!
Best to leave such endeavors to Weebl and Bob. :stuck_out_tongue:

This thread is still going
So I can see
It hasn’t become boring
at all to me

The Princess Bride
was a work of art
It makes us laugh so hard
Sometimes we fart…

They’re not all gems, these verses various,
But when they’re good, they’re quite hilarious.
They set me off…oh, here I go…
ROTFLMAO.

I find Thorp’s rhyme to be quite entertaining.
All be it short, but I’m not complaining.
This thread has my interest piqued.
This information must be leaked!
Off to The Screensavers show!
Leo Laporte, he just has to know!
Someone spread the word!
Our rhymes, our rhymes they must be heard!
Once were linked, as we all know well.
So many visitors, the site will be shot to hell.
To the proprietors of this site.
Let’s hope your bandwidth dose alright.

There was a Doper from Nantucket
Who built sandcastles using a bucket.
A great wave washed away
His castles one day.
He shrugged and, “Oh, fuck it.”
