Rhyme at least twice within your sentence (or post). The more rhymes the better.

Post a sentence that relates to the previous post, or go in a whole new direction, silly or serious - up to you.

Let's pretend EdgarAllenPoster started us off with:
"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary"

Deja Boo · 31-01-2019 8:56am

The moonlight at night is not so bright as is daylight.

Still waters · 31-01-2019 9:03am

when I came across a sprite, dancing in the frostlight to some long forgotten tune, written neath the waxing of the moon

auspicious · 20-04-2019 1:56pm

It sang and sprang and invited me,
to join in the delightful glee.

auspicious · 21-04-2019 2:26pm

I skipped closer but there was a strange pause,
then all hell broke loose in teeth and claws!

auspicious · 22-04-2019 12:59pm

My little dog Scamp did snap and snarl
and in a whirl chased the squirrel,

auspicious · 23-04-2019 4:20pm

which quickly scaled the tree
in fright. Poor Scamp being not so bright circled 'round endlessly.

auspicious · 24-04-2019 1:46am

I called him to, and we set off home.
He was more attentive with promise of a bone.
Shutting the night behind the door,
I settled down for a cosy snore....

ScoobyDosent · 24-04-2019 2:30am

After eight long hours I woke sore, a sorrowful bed that flagstone floor.

auspicious · 24-04-2019 3:08pm

I headed to the kitchen pondering the breakfast fare,
and was met there by a stranger's stare.

ScoobyDosent · 24-04-2019 6:30pm

She kissed me gently and said please don't stop ,...... before nutting me and roaring "where are the frigging coco pops"

auspicious · 24-04-2019 6:52pm

T'was another of the neighbours' friends looking for their fix.
" Feck you! We only got weetabix! "

ScoobyDosent · 24-04-2019 7:13pm

That's OK Nuala said," don't mind those xxxcks, we'll go back inside and log onto their Netflix"

auspicious · 24-04-2019 8:25pm

Dazed and confused I let it be,
As those whom persist in endless acts,
You"ll find my sympathy is somewhat lax.
So I had a cuppa tea sweet and sugary.

ScoobyDosent · 24-04-2019 8:40pm

The tea was drank and the bikkies ate, now off to town before it's late.
A quick stop in statoil to get some diesel then into work to face the weasel.

auspicious · 24-04-2019 10:28pm

I push the pedal and push red lights,
cool as a breeze yet my grip quite tight.
Some drivers flash me and some give the finger,
sure being concussed I am a complete danger!

ScoobyDosent · 25-04-2019 1:24pm

To add to my woes, when I came to a stop
Who was waiting for me? ? Sure only a cop.
I opened the window, my legs turning jello ,he said" where do you think you are? above in Mondello? "

auspicious · 25-04-2019 2:20pm

" Sorry officer I didn't see you there.
I'm a bit crossed-eyed but I have being taken care...!"
I'll be late for work and I want no beef.
Shouldn't you be out looking for a thief?"

ScoobyDosent · 25-04-2019 5:46pm

"Don't be so smart, be on your way,
I've had enough of plebs like you for one day.
Now back to the station, pulse to update
4 hour's of OT, won't that be just great "

auspicious · 25-04-2019 6:24pm

As he moved away in the mirror,
I yelled to the garda " Yo holmes, smell ya later!"
looked in the direction I wanted to go,
and punched the accelerator with all of my toe.

ScoobyDosent · 27-04-2019 3:44pm

Blue lights are gone,so off I go
Heading with me horse to the RDS show.
I've parked the trailer and cleaned up the ###te
Well fxck me pink, the rugby is on tonight.

auspicious · 27-04-2019 5:07pm

I prance around and wave at the crowd.
Being number one would make me ever so proud.
Alas my horse he's a bit of a monkey
and in the end makes me look like a donkey!

auspicious · 19-01-2020 12:54am

That's the last gig for my mate,
the last time I'll hitch her crate
to the back of my truck for my own pleasure.
Off to the sanctuary now pal for your deserved leisure.

namenotavailablE · 04-02-2020 1:12am

The end of the tale by good ol' Auspicious
Suggests that his horse now 'sleeps with the fishes'.
And talking of sleep- it's my time for the sack.
Perhaps some time later, I'll try and come back.

Deja Boo · 04-02-2020 1:59am

Rhymes are a tonic
for sleep so hyPnotic.

Rest when you can,
and come back again.

'Hynotic' she typed, a new word on me.
It seems that our Deja's in need of a P(ee)

Deja Boo · 05-02-2020 3:34am

The P, like the rest
of the keyboard is guessed.
The P-paint can't be seen,
you silly Ole Bean

auspicious · 14-02-2020 12:28am

In a rush I turned 'round,
on the ground there I found...

auspicious · 14-02-2020 8:34pm

An old letter soiled with dirt.
And it began, Dear Bert,

auspicious · 18-02-2020 12:57am

Where the hell are you now what have you done?
The place is mental they're looking for a gun!
Tommy was 'round and he's not happy.
Will ya get yourself back and make it snappy.

Day Lewin · 18-02-2020 1:05am

Tommy, that one is a gun, my son.
You can use it for shooting, looting and rebooting.
If unarmed, you will be unharmed
So don't pick it up, or stick it up: Walk tall, and stalk all.
