Polly started the first thread
with a plaintive call;
Suge started it rhyming
and we all had a ball.
Compski started the second thread
when the first got too slow;
This doggerel starts a third one,
and it's ready to go!

It came to him while he was seasoning with thyme.
19jugglingpaynes
Is that the movie where she whines?
21hemlokgang
I think she also uses a fork with tines.
22jugglingpaynes
As long as she doesn't forget her lines.
23pollysmith

>#16: Post 29:
No, Compski, nothing will induce them into clothes. It's like the Emperor's New Clothes in reverse. Its so perverse. They wont reverse, no matter how long I converse.
You can run, but you can't hide.

If I could only choose with whom to side.
27hemlokgang
Try not to get up in your pride.
29pollysmith

30jugglingpaynes
I'm trying to keep it light.
31hemlokgang
Keep trying with all your might.
32compskibook

33jugglingpaynes
It's because we are so sweet and polite!

That kind of thing gives me a bit of a fright.

46hemlokgang
Here at my house we are weathering a chinook
47jugglingpaynes
I want a little reading nook.
48hemlokgang
Perfect if one can hear a babbling brook.
49elbakerone
Speaking of babbling, our gov' in Illinois is a crook!
50jugglingpaynes
Then it must be time to give him the hook!
52pollysmith
or a bookhook.....
53hemlokgang
or put him over the fire and let him cook.......
54jugglingpaynes
That sounds a bit...icky.
56elbakerone
As long as we get rid of him, I'm not too picky. ;)
58jugglingpaynes
I think suge is a bit finicky
59hemlokgang
Going to take a leap of faith..........give a new one a try.
61hemlokgang
'Cuz the previous one was running dry
63compskibook
We will have to switch again, by and by.

82hemlokgang
My lunch today is full of escarole.
83jugglingpaynes
I think I'll post some rigmarole.
84hemlokgang
Did you ever see that cute fellow, Anatole?

This Anatole?

92jugglingpaynes
A gown that flows!
93pollysmith
with satin bows
95hemlokgang
I wish someone would massage my toes....
96elbakerone
I too could use a massage for my feet.
That would be quite the relaxing treat!
That would be quite the relaxing treat!
97pollysmith
a foot massage cannot be beat
99hemlokgang
they are so sore after being stomped by a cleat!
100jugglingpaynes
Which happened while running at a local track meet.
101Always_Reading
I should have just taken a seat
102hemlokgang
But it was so exciting, the runners so fleet
103Always_Reading
And the air smelling so sweet
105Always_Reading
Then, stomping hard on my two blistered feet
106jugglingpaynes
...I kick the foot stomper because he's such a cheat!
108jugglingpaynes
And now I must hang my Christmas wreath.
112compskibook
Especially if it is a kiss you wish to bequeath.
114hemlokgang
I won't worry, but I might seethe.
116pollysmith
if you believe
118hemlokgang
the answer is too tough to conceive
119pollysmith
I got my new cookpots, I'm so relieved
120hemlokgang
Can the old ones be retrieved?
122hemlokgang
That is just not to be believed
124hemlokgang
I hope from that they obtain a reprieve
125jugglingpaynes
Or I will be most aggrieved.
126pollysmith
I'm so tired i'm off to bed
127compskibook
Are you thinking with that enough has been said?
128jugglingpaynes
The way we talk? You've been misled!
130hemlokgang
That Weasley family must be fed!
133biblioholic29
The Tonks got that name instead
139jugglingpaynes
Ron was a Weasley with hair of red
140hemlokgang
From evil creatures Ron never fled
142jugglingpaynes
He did like butterflies, or so he said...
144pollysmith
he didn't like being spider bait
145hemlokgang
He didn't see that as part of his fate...
147hemlokgang
And at the same time, he wishes he could elevate...
148Always_Reading
The host of spiders down in Hagrid's crate...
149jugglingpaynes
If it's time for potions class, he better not be late!
152pollysmith
yes, their romance was not meant to be
153jugglingpaynes
Which worked out well for Ginny Weasley.
154hemlokgang
Thank goodness, no one was measley.
158jugglingpaynes
I thought you get fleas.
161hemlokgang
I thought it was yeast.
162pollysmith
I hate those little beast(s)
163jugglingpaynes
An end to our rhyme
Would be a great crime
So I think it is time...

167jugglingpaynes
which is cheaper than slime
or so I've heard. :o)

174jugglingpaynes
What has occurred?
178jugglingpaynes
No it's not!
180hemlokgang
Let's give it a shot.
189jugglingpaynes
You seem to like pot a lot!
191jugglingpaynes
I sense a thickening in the plot...
192hemlokgang
Really?... (dot, dot, dot)
195jugglingpaynes
But since we are clumsy, the hot pot went splot.
197jugglingpaynes
In your head? I sincerely hope not!
But I figured splot would be better than speaking of snot. :o)

Why not soak in the tub, unless you lost the plug.
205hemlokgang
I hope in tub, that I won't go "glug, glug".
208hemlokgang
Once saved, shake it off with a shrug.
212jugglingpaynes
Which means her name is Gail.
216hemlokgang
I must say that neither the alligator nor the pug looked too frail.
217jugglingpaynes
We won't know unless we put it on a scale.
220hemlokgang
And when you finish it give out a shout...
221pollysmith
I love my pug but she hates to go out
223pollysmith
Till we go in
227hemlokgang
My corgi just makes me grin,
Like a cartoon character she moves through her life
Like a cartoon character she moves through her life
228jugglingpaynes
My sister-in-law's corgi causes some strife
230hemlokgang
No, but I bet she'd be cute with a fife.
232jugglingpaynes
The corgi I know tries to play with porcupines, which, in that area, are rife.
233hemlokgang
Corgis are little whirlwinds who they they are enormous,
And the burden of bossiness causes some strife.
