It deosn't mattr,
if enything is speled write
al mackes perfict sence.

barrie · Sat Jul 29, 2006 12:42 pm

al mackes perfict sence?
mackerels perfect science -
must be the fish oil.

Jester · Sat Jul 29, 2006 6:30 pm

must be the fish oil -
lubricates its joints and pipes.
Well-oiled halibut

pseud · Sat Jul 29, 2006 6:40 pm

well oiled halibut
swashes the waves, the big rigs
capsize, swallow him

Jester · Sat Jul 29, 2006 6:45 pm

capsize, swallow him -
swiftly to the house, Martin.
Have we done this once?

barrie · Sat Jul 29, 2006 6:56 pm

Have we done this once?
Ask me anything at all
except damn questions!

pseud · Sat Jul 29, 2006 7:15 pm

accept damn questions!
deny damn answers that don't
answer damn questions!

Jester · Sat Jul 29, 2006 7:16 pm

except damn questions!
Accept all the answers though -
could come in handy.

barrie · Sat Jul 29, 2006 7:27 pm

Could come in handy
that aluminium leg;
it fits like a glove.

Jester · Sun Jul 30, 2006 9:48 am

"It fits like a glove."
said the dirty ore,
babbling bauxite.

barrie · Sun Jul 30, 2006 11:19 am

The babbling bauxite
rolling in the furnaces
melting to silver

Jester · Sun Jul 30, 2006 5:19 pm

melting to silver -
Smiths' insolvent sixpences -
defacing the king.

barrie · Sun Jul 30, 2006 6:03 pm

Defacing the king -
They did that to Charles Stuart,
and really made sure!

juliadebeauvoir · Mon Jul 31, 2006 6:20 am

And really made sure,
there was no public disorder,
buried in Winsdor.

barrie · Mon Jul 31, 2006 10:07 am

buried in Winsdor
then re-buried in Windsor.
Ah, the ups and downs.

Jester · Mon Jul 31, 2006 3:58 pm

"Ah, the ups and downs.",
said the seesaw, plaintively,
"Reciprocation."

barrie · Mon Jul 31, 2006 4:10 pm

"Reciprocation
be damned!" said Logarithm,
"Look at Calculus."

juliadebeauvoir · Mon Jul 31, 2006 4:13 pm

Reciprocation,
you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours...
Itchfunctional pledge.

Jester · Mon Jul 31, 2006 4:24 pm

Itchfunctional pledge.
Loofah gloves coming right up!
Polish to a shine.

barrie · Mon Jul 31, 2006 4:34 pm

Polish to a shine -
You can see your face in it.
There's always a catch!

Jester · Mon Jul 31, 2006 5:25 pm

There's always a catch!
Somewhere between the shoulder
blades usually

barrie · Mon Jul 31, 2006 5:33 pm

blades usually
cut a very fine line or
a very fine lawn

Jester · Mon Jul 31, 2006 5:45 pm

a very fine lawn
and a pond with frog spawn - no
dog shit and bin bags.

barrie · Mon Jul 31, 2006 6:10 pm

dog shit and bin bags,
all part of the urban sprawl,
greenbelts, parks and all.

twoleftfeet · Mon Jul 31, 2006 6:25 pm

Greenbelts parks and all
aren't the inner city where
you need a black belt
