From Julie,Once I went fishing,
Caught red herrings, waiting for
Godot to swim by.
LOL!Gogo* cried 'No no!
To go swimming for Godot
I will lose my boots!'
*Gogo is a character in the play, Waiting for Godot.
(As I was re-reading this, thinking about changing 'boots' or that line to something else, from YouTube came Zoë Keating's Seven League Boots. So I decided to leave the boots as they were.)
From Julie,Old Puss in Boots, quite
Feral now, James forgot to
Spader, there's kittens!
In splashes of black,cackling crows pick through witch grass
and rustling windrows.
From Julie, (being sardonic)Crows caw over bones,
from empty tins, "So long, and
Thanks for all the fish!"
From Julie:All symbolic of
Symbolism, to hell with
Hate, smiles are for free!
These are beautiful you clever pirates :)
Mixing tequila,juice of lime, and triple sec,
she exclaimed, “It’s time!”
From Julie,Smoke wisps, from ashtrays.
Burning memories, delete
To trash, life's too short!
From Julie, (being ironic).The Big O--better
than chocolate, addictive
to our endorphins.
Suitors learned quicklyher ecstatic “oh’s” vastly
outnumbered her “no’s.”
From Julie.Lovers starcrossed, waves
for Multiplication, game
Old as human race!
Her debauched youth past,devoid of grace, she placed last
in the human race.
From Julie:"And last shall be first",
Blaming Eve always the game,
Misogynists named.
(How sardonic!)
The staggering pain,when Eve’s teeth met, was something
man could not forget.
Wow! make a new thread,seems its time, we have a place
for x-rated rhyme.
(Adams apples are those bumps on the neck, right?)
(I feel just horrible. I’ve tracked mud in a thread that, until now, has never given the reader the slightest cause to arch an eyebrow.)
Eyebrows arched at Evethe biter, meanwhile Adam
was one stone lighter.
Timid, recallingwhat he’d lost, he always stood
legs carefully crossed.
Okay, I'm officially bookmarking this spot so I can come back to it when I need a good laugh!
In Eve's hands, Adamwas putty; a bit more cross,
a bit less nutty.
RoTFL![Hi Leslie!]
From Julie (looking on the bright side!)Like the squirrel in
Autumn, 'I've lost my nuts, woe
is me, nuts I seek!"
For his fur, he boughtfine greases; for nuts, he (sigh!)
turned to prosthesis.
From Julie (giggle)"Nuts in May"--Balzac's
Best, Adam chasing Eve, led her
down the garden path!
The path snaked its wayto Sweden. He ate, she had
already Eden.
How to follow the witty one Ryan posted?He dreamed of Eden,
but what rhymes with Barbara?
An uncorked bottle?
Thank you, Ryan! I think 8270 is one of the memorable greats. Can it really be that this thread has over 8,000 posts? Holy smoke!
Thanks, M. I went back and read through most of it yesterday and I had the same thought - the thread has grown very long. There are some absolute gems hidden within.
Wow! These last few are so much fun! And 8270+ posts!! And there have been some amazingly good and funny 5-7-5s posted. And a lot of excellent haiku, too! Lol!
I dreamed of Jeanniemany times, and everything
rhymed with Barbara.
Her sisters HannahCassandra, Alexandra,
And Tess were kept corked
On the down slide of karma
In a bad batch of Grappa.
From Julie--a distant memory!Once we were so young,
Consuming goodly grappa,
Great panacea!
Consuming pancakesWith bacon and argument
We grappled the piece
We thought we'd lose in syrup
And empty panaceas.
Fill me and hold meLike syrup in waffle cups.
Butter me up, love.
From Julie,Syrup and Honeyed,
Crumpets, toasting, so divine--
Time for Tiddles! Yeah!
Have a peaceful Easter,poets, best wishes from Julie.
I like my baconwe never argue, and my
waffles butter me.
Tiddly Dee!
Happy Easter! Happy Spring! Believer or not, today is still the first day of the rest of your life. Be happy. Be Silly. Live
Bertrand, in Quidditch,never quaffled. At the goal,
he always waffled.
From Julie.Waffling on, Over-
Thinking, imaginary
Thoughts come Gratis, free!
