I wanted to rhyme on Eyjafjallajokull
But there’s no game in just scuttle and shuttle.
We’ll look instead at the traveler’s day,
And find a rhyme for the word delay.

I thought you made up that Eyjafjalla word.
It sounded far-fetched. It sounded absurb.
But its a glacier-volcano. If you visit, I hope
When you climb up, you'll rely on a rope.

So much delay, the planes can't land.
Amanda Palmer's stuck in Iceland.
With global warming, our position,
Should be that nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition?

I’ll give SCR credit for two:
But outré and belay won’t do.
Justjim needs to confess
That auto-da-fé wasn’t his best guess.
Not outré, belay, auto-da-fé
//#2 > I’m not sure, Darsu. A pronunciation guide I found online had a “t” pronounced as part of a terminal “ll” in a syllable.//

I'm banging the gavel
I'm saying -34.485505,144.837799
Why don't we travel
The road to -20.281794,148.739405
eta: oops, both were the same! Correct now.

When in Iceland, enjoy the fresh fish.
Ask for a boneless cut, if you wish.

Justjim, Route 75 is the way
To get from Bacchus Marsh to Hay.
Why you don’t go
Is more than I can say.
Boned fish, when you kill it,
Some call that a fillet,
SugarCreekRanch will say,
The proper way is fillet.
Crambo says no matter who she
Is, that’s wrong, try sushi.

Sachet’s wrong, but not alone,
Crambo throws in the homophone.
And for services not billable,
He also says look for a tri-syllable.

Not sure of your guess, JJ.
Is it cabaret communiqué?
If so,
No, no.

Time for a hint: three syllables. Things are always being left in this.
//On pronunciation of the volcano we're not rhyming with, from the NY Times City Room blog:
Here’s the lowdown from a native speaker at the Icelandic consulate, who would give only her first name, spelling unknown but pronounced Becca. Take a deep breath.
EY-ya-fyat-lah-YOH-kuht
The “EY” rhymes with the word “bay.” The “k” is softer than an English “k,” almost like a hard “g.” And the “t” at the end kind of sticks for a second and pulls away with a hint of a glottal “l.”
EY-ya-fyat-lah-YOH-kuht
Say it soft and it’s almost like, “Hey, ya fergot La Yogurt.”//

I don't want to win,
No time to start a new game,
So why do I keep guessing?
Larxol's to blame!
Is it a piece of decorative fabric, often attached to cooking aprons and other types of feminine clothing?

brain isnt really functioning right now
so i will just this
is it a word used in reply when a persons rebuttal is just as scathing as the initial insult or in acknowledgement of a hit in fencing?

Bonny, get some coffee in your system,
There are hints above, but you must have missed ’em.
And put away your saber and épée,
Our word is not fencing’s touché.
And what’s up with all the accents aigus?
For Crambo’s word, simple English will do.
