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.

auspicious · 18-02-2020 2:08am

Using your skills you'll be sound
but either face Tommy or go to ground.
Keep your head and don't back down.
You'll get nowhere if ya act the clown.

auspicious · 09-04-2020 6:13pm

Less of that! the virus is here
Now we have much more to fear.
Pull together to stay apart
And hold your breath if you smell a fart!

auspicious · 15-04-2020 10:52pm

The doctors need PPE, the Chinese CCP
are giving it for free.Turns out it's a load of crap!
Cancel your orders from that side of the map.

auspicious · 18-04-2020 12:53am

Fifth o' May is a way away some disclaim
with dismay. Let us out and let 'em die, I
don't give a sh1t sure their end is nigh.
I'm entitled don't you see, I don't mind being life's enemy.

auspicious · 19-04-2020 3:07pm

National populist protests sustain the spread.
Embattled care workers look on with dread.
Chests rise and fall mechanically. We hope
quick for immunity, while we cope.

auspicious · 21-04-2020 5:38pm

All's not lost, nature rebounds.
Animals tread boldy with less human sounds.
Their future looks bright in the coming days
But only if our attitudes change in many ways.

crystal cassidy · 10-05-2020 1:29pm

Going for a walk around the block, no time to talk

auspicious · 18-05-2020 3:24am

Feel the breeze I'm at ease. Where're me keys?

Deja Boo · 19-05-2020 2:04am

Oh my, the time is nigh to give a sigh and say goodbye.

auspicious · 20-05-2020 6:52pm

Oh do come back for you don't lack an idiom and then some.

auspicious · 23-05-2020 1:18am

The wind rescinds the Sun's appeal and any more rain I'll surely squeal. For now I might have a beer and just enjoy the starry night.

auspicious · 31-05-2020 1:34am

Still no rain. Sunburn's a pain. Though.

auspicious · 02-06-2020 12:25am

On the consumer's behalf, the taken calf. From the cow , no laugh.

Kylta · 05-06-2020 2:48pm

Its only meat
oh what a treat
It could be your pet,
that makes my mouth wet

auspicious · 09-06-2020 10:02pm

Once those lives didn't matter now they do.
Then other lives didn't matter. We changed our views.
More lives again we realised didn't matter. How untrue.
But these, those, they don't matter. Still we pick and choose.
Will we ever have a clue?

auspicious · 12-06-2020 12:43am

Voluminous silence has a semblance of defiance.

auspicious · 13-06-2020 1:43am

Rhyming's easy , say what you feel. Don't worry about squeals. Be forthright in your appeals.

Kylta · 13-06-2020 3:39pm

I opened the door
and fell on the floor
When I stood up
I knocked down the cup
When I looked at the floor
I got a smack of the door
I moved out of that room
And walked straight into a broom
So I headed for bed
With a very sore head

auspicious · 02-08-2020 10:20pm

Up in the morning and down the stairs.
A rumble in me tummy I grab some pears.
A glance at the clock illicits a shock,
and off out the door wearing only one sock.

I returned to the house to retrieve some footwear
That when I noticed my pants had a tear
It was the draught that gave it away
When my balls fell out and began to sway
