Rhyme Time Game

[#1]

In this game the 1st person writes rhyming lines (long or short), followed by a WORD that the next person should use somewhere in their rhyme. If someone forgets to post a word after their poem, please feel free to use the last word in their rhyme.

Example:

1st person: There once was a cat, that got really fat

BUG   

2nd person: Is that a big bug, crawling under your rug?

JUMP

[ChillwolfArt]

Oh what a day
Surely must get better I pray
But alas, it was not meant to be
Started to make dinner you see
The meatballs were bumpy
And the gravy was lumpy

(Bumpy meatballs?)

FILM

[ElizabethRosenArt]

just the way I like 'em!

[ElizabethRosenArt]

FILM

There is a film on every glass
on every plate and dish.
Could menfolk ever wet their hands?
Alas, can only wish.
Just because I'm female
Doesn't mean it's destiny
But every day the sink display
Is left for poor old me!

HARD

[ChillwolfArt]

Nah uh; Monday is NOT my turn to do the dishes.  I did them Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.  I need a break; my hands are chafed!

[ElizabethRosenArt]

They're not that bad, but it's always assumed if they're left in the sink someone else will do them!!

[ourtimecapsule]

You both are sublime
At this game where we rhyme.
For me it is HARD.
I'll just buy a card.

UNDER

[ChillwolfArt]

LOL, Ivy; sounds like me.  I'm terrible with Rhymes.

[ElizabethRosenArt]

Under

We lived a year down under
And the fun did never lack
We'd be there now
With carefree brow
But Hubs was transferred back!

MAIL

[ourtimecapsule]

I received a letter in the mail,
Sent with much love and a kiss.
It made me turn pale
My heart it did fail
Turns out it was only from Sis!

Please

[ChillwolfArt]

She can be a tease
Some would call her a sleaze
She'll fly in like the breeze
And eagerly anticipate to appease
Yet she has one condition
One must always say "Please"

FACE

[ElizabethRosenArt]

Love it Cheryl! 

[ChillwolfArt]

@ElizabethRosenArt 

Thank You, Elizabeth; poems don't come easy for me:)

[ourtimecapsule]

Each day my computer I face.

And admit I am such a disgrace.

I stare at the tree,

So lazy I be.

Of work there is never a trace!

P.S.  This ones a real groaner so:

Groan

[ElizabethRosenArt]

Groan

Dog One groans when I scratch his head.
Dog Two groans when it's time for bed.
Dog Three groans all of the time
Which works out well for this here rhyme :))

BED

[ChillwolfArt]

I wanna know what Dog 4 does:)

[ourtimecapsule]

BED

Off to bed we go

To watch our favorite show.

With pillows galore

I soon start to snore,

So it's is off to Dreamland I go!

Help

[ThePackageHouse]

Sometimes it’s hard to ask

For help with any task

But as I’m getting old

I find that I’m more bold!

Gulp

[ourtimecapsule]

Gulp! Said the fish from the ocean,

I'd better get back to wave motion.

For if I should die

I will surely cry,

And no doubt need plenty of lotion!

Trust

[ChillwolfArt]

Putting the pie in the oven
As friends awaited with delight
Will it turn out delicious
Or be a fright
Never fear I said
I've great baking skills, THAT you can trust
The timer went off
Opened the oven and coughed
My "perfect" pie with completely burnt crust

ICE

[ElizabethRosenArt]

send it over here- I love burned anything :))

[ourtimecapsule]

My dog who’s  named Buster

Has a coat with a rusty luster

His tail wags so hard

That it makes a good duster.

His nose is ice cold

This is good I am told.

We love him with all we can muster.

Tea

[ChillwolfArt]

That's cute!

[ChillwolfArt]

tea

Just another spot of tea
Or maybe two or three
I've lost count I fear
And pray the powder room is near

SWOON

[ElizabethRosenArt]

swoon

I haven't swooned about an actor
In a year or two
Does your swooning come and go,
Or am I done and through?
Maybe if you've swooned a lot
(and goodness knows that's true)
Perhaps my swooningometer
Just finally upped and blew!

SCRATCH

[ourtimecapsule]

Elizabeth, this is awesome!  And just so you know, the swooningometer comes and goes.  The swoonees seem to get younger ad younger...
