To knot knots or not to knot -
I can see no hitch

by **barrie** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 3:48 pm

I can see no hitch
just a strong desire to scratch
an itch with a hitch

by **twoleftfeet** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 4:01 pm

An itch with a hitch
is not a hitch-hiker's itch -
Please scratch my backpack

by **barrie** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 4:10 pm

I'm a Hungarian but
I am a Cretan

by **barrie** » Thu Apr 13, 2006 6:30 pm

I am a Cretan
I am a Samaritan
I am the walrus

I am the Walrus,
they are the egg-men, I--shut
the fuck up Donnie.

by **juliadebeauvoir** » Fri Apr 14, 2006 2:31 am

The fuck up Donnie...
who is this Donnie to be
defamed and denounced?

by **barrie** » Fri Apr 14, 2006 3:07 pm

defamed and denounced
hit de ball hard with de bat
and de ball will bounce.

by **juliadebeauvoir** » Fri Apr 14, 2006 9:09 pm

And de ball will bounce
and de cookie* crumbles--so
dat's de way it is!

*I think you call them digestibles or biscuits.
...too many syllables!

by **barrie** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 10:04 am

dat's de way it is,
said the man, pointing uphill,
it's downhill beyond.

by **juliadebeauvoir** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 12:39 pm

It's downhill beyond,
the hut, where the hermit lives
riffraff and rubbish

by **barrie** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 1:20 pm

riffraff and rubbish
reefers, hashish and roll-ups
where will it all end?

by **juliadebeauvoir** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 2:33 pm

"Where will it all end?
Great Jumping Jehoshaphat!"
Sam cried, wringing hands.

by **barrie** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 2:38 pm

Sam cried, wringing hands,
ringing the bells with wrung hands.
Where's Esmeralda?

by **juliadebeauvoir** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 3:18 pm

Where's Esmeralda?
I have a hunch she's in jail
quasi guilty wench

by **barrie** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 3:30 pm

quasi guilty wench?
poor old Quasi's now off work -
he's got a bad back!

by **juliadebeauvoir** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 3:43 pm

He's got a bad back
a face only mum could love,
or a mask could fix!

by **barrie** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 3:57 pm

or a mask could fix
not the world's ugliest man,
he just looks like him!

by **juliadebeauvoir** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 4:35 pm

He just looks like him
dresses same--shirt and knickers
that's because they're twins.
