A Couple of Couplets About Your Day

[Doug J]

Okay - I only tried to do a game once before w. terrible results - but based on the "tavern" conversation in rhyme that was inspired yesterday by Wrey - here goes.

You submit two rhyming couplets - one that comments on the previous submission - and a new one from you regarding what happened to you - or will happen - or you would like to happen.

For example, I might submit:

An overnight last night with all the kids home
Meant that this morning the hot water is gone

So your first entry would be a respons to that. Perhaps:
Sorry to hear showers are cold
But must be nice to have kids back in the fold

And then you would add a couplet of your own:
The morning is flying – it just go, go, go, goes
How long it will take me to fix my plethora of typo’s

(this last couplet you should comment on)

SO - in short - FOUR LINES: two commenting on previous entry; and two about your day.

Would appreciate comments on if this game sounds like fun.

[Wreybies]

Typos to spare and run-ons for days.
A giddy affair, the error of our ways.

The cable is fixed and I get to see movies,
with zombies and monsters and occasional boobies.

(tee hee!) :D

[Doug J]

Ahh entertainment with pleasures most guilty
We've come such a long way from black and white Uncle Miltie

To my 20 year old son he'll get no more nice
At 1:30 still in bed - means a bucket of ice

(Wrey - you are just great! Excellent.)

[Cogito]

Nothing enhances the tube
like a high-definitional boob

I'm relaxing with a book here today
in quite a self indulgent way

(too slow - but I ain't changing it!)

[Nackl of Gilmed]

Fat but content is the man
Who slacks off whenever he can

Soon I shall go back to Uni
Drinking enough to shame Booney (Australian references go go go!)

[Doug J]

If Nacki had been French I would have understood if he wrote poodle
But since he's an Aussie I the word "Booney" I had to google

The Saints game against the Vikings
Will us Wisconsin's looking for Farve sightings

[Nackl of Gilmed]

Doug J you make me sound tacky
My name is Nackl, it's not Nacki

And for science nerds, classically four-eyed
it's not pronounced 'sodium chloride'

[Wreybies]

Though a sighting of Farve may leave one goose-bumbin',
the thrill of the game is really what's jumpin'!

The day has broke grey, cool, and sublime.
A rarity here in Caribbean climes.



*too slow on the draw, Wrey.*



Sodium Chloride may leave one with thirst,
but its just a game, so laugh and have mirth.

[Cogito]

I'll pass on the ice warriors chasing a puck
It's not that it's bad, I just don't give a -- damn

For my part I've spent some time editing my novel
while watching science fiction DVDs in my hovel

[Doug J]

Editing can be tedious
Fix only the most egregious

Worked like a dog today, yet, still behind at work big time
Need an ice cold Corona with a nice wedge of lime

[Bellacuse]

Toil and sweat, the grind won't end
Beer makes it better, til we ascend

Surfing the net, at work and bored
being fired if caught is the only reward

[Doug J]

Be careful of that electronic surfing
You never know if your boss is lurking

Had a fun day, which was kind of suprising
Didn't get slugged due to my sharp-tongued advising

[Carmina]

Beer might help at the end of the day
might be even better to take the dog out to play

House is getting painted, but it looks too pink
walked in and saw it, and my spirits did sink

[Writer_of_Wrongs]

Pink is a color of some fish
house colored pink? i would not want to wish

here i must end this charade
for the time has come for some aid

(EXAMS!!!)

[Cogito]

Tests surprise us every day
It's part of life we must needs play

Today the air was unseasonably warm
I took advantage, before the next storm.

[Carmina]

It is winter, snow must fall
temperatures drop to the annoyance of all

Hun said "no baby" so I'm in a bad mood
alone at the office, I'll sit here and brood.

[Bellacuse]

That jerk said No? Let me express
that all of us, would have said YES!

I farted real bad, cropdusted the wife
And now I'm hiding, in fear of my life

[Carmina]

She might hurt me, she has a mean punch
I think I'll stay hidden 'till after my lunch

One more blow, my bad day is double
Sis can't have lunch, she has car trouble.

[Writer_of_Wrongs]

Your days do not get better
Though soon it will not matter

More exams, are the name of the game
The game of which is my very own shame

[Doug J]

Exams and tests are not fun, son
But by now your brain weighs one ton

So much to do, so much to do my head will blow up
When I was a student why'd I ever want to grow up?

[Carmina]

Growing up might totally suck
At least it legal if you want to f... (you can supply the word)

Feeling stressed, like a panic attack
and I still have rehearsal in Sac

[Shadow Reeves]

After sweating through rehearsal all day
I suggest a bath to wash the stress away.

today like yesterday was a bit of a bore
new town, no school. no friends visit anymore

[Carmina]

A new town, no friends, total suck
You'll find some with time and luck

Dealing with my insurance has me pissed
Treat me like crap, I'm feeling dissed

[Wreybies]

The insurance game is a web filled with tangles
They get you, and pin you, and (bleep) you from all angles.

My head is still spinning from pill overload
May the day end quickly before it explodes.

[Snazzy_Boots_7]

Drugs take up a lot of wealth
And they're damaging for the health.

Aliens are taking over
Oh crap they've taken Dover.

[Shadow Reeves]

if Dover is gone there is no hope for any of us
its time for plan B, so call in Chuck Norris.
(it almost rhymes)

if anyone has seen my wallet please tell
as i need it to get out of this town i call hell

[Carmina]

Oh dear God, you've lost your wallet
too bad not a cell-phone or you could just call it

Long day at work, 2 hours 45 mins to go
Why is it that Fridays are slow?

[Writer_of_Wrongs]

be thankful its friday and not a weekday
for then life would suck, oh in such a way!

it is all done, for my week of hell is through
next time i go to school, it will be due...

[Doug J]

Deadlines with teeth and weapons at their fiercest
Prepare us for when the teacher says, "okay, where is it?"

Trying to sell house - a showing today
But we've had so many others - oy vey
