Each post to this thread must be in rhyme
every post, every time...

(like when mom Endora, I think,
put a spell on Samantha, with a wink,
that caused her to rhyme all that she said
which really had Darrin and Larry seeing red

...wtf? I don't know
just making this up as I go)

1. Why should these replies be in verse?
It makes it hard for DU to converse!

5. The conditions to this tread you really should reverse
If I don't stop drinking Merlot, a hangover I will nurse.

12. This manner of talk, we should all excel...
while Bushies in orange jumpsuits do naught but yell.
They have not the intellect to figure this out,
they simply rely on their anger and tout
their Rovian points so freshly arrived
the radio Limaugh talk they've imbibed
Their ignorance protects them and warms them at night
they care not a wit for the truth and the light
but for all here we know what is to come
a bill will come due for the dastardly sum
while a karmic wave shall certainly come past
and 2004 will render to all freedom at last

2. It would be a crime
to require me to rhyme:
I don't have the time,
and my verses are slime.

So listen here, bros,
you damn so and sos:
I'll just write in prose,
Until hell hath been froze.


Well, I told you it would be a crime.

3. But can't we use free verse?
Why must you be so terse?
I have a lot to say that isn't easy to rhyme,
Things that resonate in these political times.
So please give ground and loosen your rule
I want so badly to say Chimpy's a fool.

4. Roses are red
Violets are purple

Sugar is sweet

And so is maple syrple.

6. OK, here's a repost from the GD forum
TEN RUNNING DEMOCRATS

TEN RUNNING DEMOCRATS

First comes General Wesley Clark,
Who some find a horse too dark;
Then the Doctor Howard Dean--
Too right, too left, too inbetween?
Next John Edwards, fair of face;
Will the South give him the race?
Dick Gephardt next, who long has toiled,
And seems to always wind up spoiled,
Bob Graham reopened 9/11,
But his race somehow seems half-run,
John Kerry's medals brightly gleam,
But is he running out of steam?
Dennis Kucinich next comes in--
Progressives drool! But can he win?
From left to right: Joe Lieberman!
Who's hoping he'll beat Bush--again.
Give props to Carol Moseley-Braun
For taking the whole boys' club on;
Al Sharpton talks a real good game,
And is ignored, which is a shame.
Now when we have ten candidates,
Some say that is too full a slate,
But as these 10 come down the pike,
There's so much there that folks might like!
From Dennis through to Lieberman,
Each swing-voter can find his man!
Or if of men you've had your fill,
Why Moseley-Braun will fit the bill.
Why hurry to deplete the hoard?
Stay and enjoy the smorgasboard!
Postpone the agony of choice,
For each one running has a voice,
And while the field stays green and lush,
There's TEN FOLKS OUT THERE BASHING BUSH!

************
Now though out myself I did knock,
This ditty dropped just like a rock.
If for you it does the trick,
Please help it with a friendly :kick:

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

7. Damn you, nu_duer,
Damn you, nu_duer,
This thread will turn to manure;

Mark my words,
You'll get treated like the...Kurds;

This board is for thoughts analytical,
religious, social and political;

Although some may think this thread is a keeper,
I happen to think it's worthy only of a Freeper;

But on the other hand (of which I have two);
I certainly hope the muses smile on you.

Dammit. I not very clever.
Whatever.

9. There once was a Prez with a son
Who also decided to run
No one thought he was brainy
So for Veep he picked Cheney
Who's a Dick in more ways than one.

13. Today, oh yes
I took a test
I was the one who did the best
The subject was hard
Emotions on guard
The questions were easy
And and really breezy
I actually did OK
What a great day!

14. A limmerick ...
An innocent person you saw
Was like you, except for one "flaw"
The 'pugs heard he's gay
"His rights you must take away!"
And thus the name, queer outlaw

19. It's getting late, so I won't hesitate...
To lay down a line
Semi-worthy of rhyme.

At the computer too long
Staying up is just wrong
The muse in my head
Says "get your ass into bed!"

:kick:

23. Attempts to craft a rhyming post
Conspire to frustrate me the most.
I've even tried a rhyme for "orange"
But slammed my fingers in a door hinge.

24. To rhyme or not
To rhyme or not
in a rhyming thread
The tempatation sweet
like a snug warm bed
to break the rules
and post in verse
to craft by verbage
oh terribly terse
to rhyme or not
it must be said
I followed temptation
and rhymed instead
just another post..
just another day...
just another diversion..
as I type to get paid.

25. Once there was a foolish man
Who wanted to attack Iran
But as he planned his blitz attack
He chose instead to bomb Iraq
Iran can wait another day
He's in Iraq and there to stay
