When those who suck at silly verse

Ladies and gentlemen we have a convert! Praise Jebus!
You'll be using Shed-yule in a rhyme next - to my applause. Over here we have Hot Dog Day A mighty profit, so they say But despite the plea of the PTA I decline; I'm watching what I weigh And no, that wasn't in competition as I chose the easiest rhyme going. It's true though. Hotdog day is one Friday lunch every month. The children love it. One or two hotdogs (veggie option available), also offered as a package with fruit and juice. The children badger their parents, the parents don't have to make lunch (currently no school meals except for children fed by the County) and get to feel part of fundraising by paying £2.50. The second biggest money spinner is the new Cine-Club. Straight after school so saves on after-school care bills. Children again get a hotdog, popcorn and a drink. This is what the parents are ostensibly paying for, so the school's license to show films is not compromised. £5 per head per child, and the teachers give their time free of charge for the benefit of the school (being the most expensive part of the evening). I've volunteered for the next one. I don't get paid half as much as the teachers, whose salary reflects these out of hours requirements, but it's a handy way for a cash-poor time-rich person to give back. And after all I'd like to be considered for more hours when possible - it's all about goodwill being banked. Oh and I just love it there and love the kids and am happier there than at home. Saddo. Your scheduled programme will now re-commence. |

And I didn't agree with Vonnegut either. Seriously? You're taking phonetics lessons from the guy who wrote "My name is Yon Yonson?"

Not phonetics. It's poetry. And Vonnegut's got a license - maybe a badge and a gun, too.

I like Vonnegut too. Poetic license. I use that license, too. For incense. When I'm incensed.

I hate lemon and I need protein,
So I took my trusty boomerang hunted, and slew, and brought it home and made a kangaroo meringue!

Zen, does that actually rhyme in Australian?
Or are does function follow form; so that your use of repetiton is a comment on the cycle of life observed by Aborigines? |
