Poetry Challenge answered

Lot of things rhyme with scrip, not so many with appendage
If you scrip, you can raise bucks, and control your spendage
Yes this poem a challenge was, there may be word bendage
But when you scrip, remember this, the school gets a percentage.


I did it :D

yes, the challenge did start with a conversation involving FSM somehow.....

I must have not seen that challenge? What's the challenge? I'll play!

May I have some of your oddness, Monster?
My supply is running low.

My friend didn't think I'd manage a scrip poem with the word appendage in it -or at least not with appendage as the main rhyme

Oranges poranges, who says,

oranges poranges, who says?

I et it.

Scrip is the fundraiser I run at the school. I write weekly "news" which frequently includes terribly poetry about scrip. It started with a haiku and snowballed. But so did the income, so they let me get away with it :lol: Sorry I thought I'd bored you all enough about scrip. We sell gift cards for high street stores and keep a % of the face value. It raises about 20K a year.

Does Flying Spaghetti Monster's noodly appendage
Encounter touching problems due to flaccid noodle bendage?
Would the lord of all things noodly smite me from his clientage
If I dared suggest a design flaw in his outreaching touching endage?

bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I failed? :cry:

lmao!

No, I just never accepted that as a reasonable rhyme for oranges. I tried to think of a retort, like "Port rhymes with I tried to think of a retort" but as you see, I could just use retort. :lol2:

Besides, I don't say "I would like some OOR-hinge juice." That's too much like "Cool WHHHip." Cool Whhhhip.

(I've lost my ever-lovin' marbles.)

And you're on report.

more whinges?

Sorry love, I veto your bzzzzzzzzzzz. Vonnegut used it in Welcome to the Monkey House. If it's good enough for Vonnegut.

When those who suck at silly verse
can find no more whinges
They trot out that well rehearsed
"There's no rhyme for oranges"

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

:lol:

did he live in Wisconsin?

So I suck at silly verse
It's just normal, not a curse
If you don't like the way I parse
You can stick it up your arse.

:D

Thurber is at the barber.

See, that rhymes, because barber sounds remotely like Thurber.

:bolt:

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.

:lol:

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?

Boomerang and Merangue rhyme
