Does anyone fancy talking in rhyme?

It's fun. And won't take much of your time.

If not, I think that's a terrible pity...

There's nothing quite like a ridiculous ditty.

I really love coming on here,

At the mo though i fancy a beer,

So its off to the pub,

If i can push for a sub,

Before i come over all queer!



(If anyone needs a translation just shout!)

I think you all are just silly,

I'm not into this sort of thing, really.

You have your fun

creating your puns,

word games, to me, are just frilly.

I'll try out this rhyming, this musical talking

I'm eager to play games, if fun we are stalking.

Through posts at the Garden, it's friends I am making.

And in thoughtful discussions, there's no room for faking.

Like being left out, "Oh what a curse!"

What you are asking, isn't the worst.

B-R, B-R I have to say

I think you really want to play.

Your rhyming skills are very good

Please carry on. (I wish you would)

Are you saying your too classy?,

Or just being sassy,:D

For Theia, I'll play the game,

of course, it'll ruin my name...

of hard-ass tough biker

(though ya'll seem to like 'er)

On you guys I'll place all the blame.

So BR is no more,

She's been shown the door,

And in place we have rhyming girl,

She should be great fun,

when she tells us a pun,

A diamond instead of a pearl.

Pray tell me the few

(Or give me a clue?)

Remember, I asked you first

At this time of night it's a bit of a strain

But I'm testing my brain to play this game

It sure is a challenge to make this rhyme

But I guess I've made it happen this time.



Why don't the guys join in with our fun

I reckon our talents have sent them on the run

Come on guys...give it a whirl...

You can't be outdone ....by a GIRL

We've likely scared them away.

We're clever. They're not. That's okay.

But just give 'em time

They'll soon talk in rhyme

They're just slower than us, on the day...

I welcome this thread




As I do, and you do and others that post.

We rhyme what we can to please our host.

I'm glad you stayed, don't go to bed :-1

Just post your poetry instead

Talk to us, your bed will wait

It's up to you to rule your fate.

We want your input and your rhymes

We cannot wait for other times.

So please don't go, oh pompom dear

We need you desp'rately on here!

This thread will die, and that's not fair.

So weave your words, not climb the stair

Your rhyming invite's most polite,

Near tempts me - but I bid goodnight

Anyway gotta get up early for work, see y'all


Night Night,

Sleep tight

make sure the bedbugs dont bite.

I'm off to bed

To rest my head

A glass of wine

sleep will be mine

For now take care

I'm off to the stairs xxxxxxxxxxxx

I'm off to work now ... yaaaaaaaaawn :yh_tired


I'm wond'ring. Did you rise at dawn?

And if you did, don't be forlorn.

It's nearly halfway through your day

If, as it seems, you're from UK

Hey there, Hi there, I'm up too

If it's only us, we are too few

It's work for me also, I do it at home

I make some money, but don't have to roam

I've drunk my coffee, I'm ready to go

But this Garden beckons, my coffeecup's low

My excuses are many, but the work must get done

I'll do it, I'll do it, and then have some fun.

Excuses are fine and I have quite a few

To stop me from doing the things I must do.

I say, Oh I'm tired or I'm sad or I'm fazy.

The truth of the matter is: I'm just plain lazy!

Excellent excercise for the brain, this be

Helps to increase creativity

I'm great, I'm wonderful, I'm happy to say

Are you at your job or still on your way

Lazy or procrastinator, truth or lie

We all have our issues, Oh my, sigh

I need to move on, so says the clock

Good afternoon my rhyming friend

And how are you today?

My spirit's low. I won't pretend

That's everything's okay.

It's not. I'm feeling very low

I don't know what to do.

I'm lost. I don't know where to go.

Suggestions? Name a few?

SOJOURNER wrote: It gets in your brain, I can't seem to stop

It's got us now. We can't escape.

We're trapped in rhyme and that's our fate.

Oh woe is us we are undone

And here we'll stay til kingdom come :-1

To raise your spirit, it seems to me

This can help,thinking up rhymes

who can complain in a bouncy ditty

and stay down all the time?

Hey Acc you're brave! No other man

Has dared to step this way.

And talk in rhyme you really can!

Please stay awhile and play :-6

ACCs the only courageous guy

But the others will be round by and by

And when they arrive we'll be so glad

To see their rhymes are just as bad !!



:yh_rotfl

I'm sure that there's an idiom that fits

the type of game you play

with blokes like me who try to get

creative but fail to sway

the low opinions you gals hold

for my rhyming wit, or lack.

But try I will till I get old

and my scene shall fade to black.

AC is the lad

Who makes us glad

He's never bad

Or looking sad.

Let's perk him up

As we lift our cup

Over at the Pub

Come on into the hot tub!

My rhyming skills are tired and worn,

I'll have to go to bed.

Tomorrow is a brand new dawn

And I'll try then instead.

But meantime sleep you all so well

Or, those in the U-K

Cos I think that in America

You still have half a day.

Here's to AC, let's all make a toast

With glasses held high, who'll start this roast?

Agreed! Agreed! Our Ac's the best

To him we hold our glasses.

But not too much for us, or else

We'll all be on our ars**

I've just come back from a family 'do'

It was such fun with all the crew

we've had chinese washed down with Bucks Fizz

The whole of my night has been 'just the biz'



I'm off to bed and happy dreams

So carry on it's such a scream

This rhyming stuff has got me beat

Until tomorrow then when next we meet

My room is lit by Christmas lights

That I bought yesterday.

They're blue...I love them...what a sight!

Too good to put away.

Will people think me off my head?

Or that I can't remember

That Christmas time is well ahead...

The middle of December?

If your friends are special like you

they may well say "Mama Mia!"

"How creative! How pretty! Can you tell me will you

teach me your style, dear Theia?"

While some of us slumber, some meet our day

with usual caution lights blinking our way.

Sometimes it feels like we've had a head start

on our lives and, for that, we all can feel smart.

You'll be doing tomorrow what I've done today.

so, "Good-night or Good-morning"...whatever...okay?;)

Oh Christmas time may be the best

With lights and tinsel and holiday guests

But don't forget the Halloween ghosts

So buy lots of candy to be a good host.

Then November brings that turkey day

With folded hands, in thanks we pray

Then the year ends, Happy New Years to all

But what am I saying, it's just now FALL!

I'm bumping this for the newbies

Who are obviously smart and creative.

It's great exercise

With itself as the prize

Just another place to be inventive.

Spring is here, the sun is out

Plants asleep are about to sprout



Birds are singing building nests

The warmth of the sun brings garden pests



I love the spring, don't you know it

But this you'll see...I'm a rubbish poet

Ah, Bez, don't put your poetry down.

Allow me to be your poetic clown.



Give it some thought, you'll be the wizer

When you remember that rubbish become fertilizer.



It is the stuff from which beauty blooms.

It makes the flowers that decorate your rooms.



So practice, practice makes rhymes legit

Even when they start out like sh*t. :wah:









like mine. :rolleyes:
