Let's play the rhyming challenge. First, someone gives a word, then the next person tries to make a short poem (or a sentence) with that word. And then, give another word. Oh yeah, it must rhyme (duh!).
For example :
word > light
sentence > I was playing my kite, but I was blinded by the light, I let go and now it's out of sight.
Ok, I'll start.
Next word : Fire
Whenever a song has the word 'fire'
The next line always ends with 'desire'
But I'm not so crap
I'm the king of rap
Oh, who am I kidding...
Desire.
Next word: killing
Farmers: Those who do the tilling and make a killing billing the unwilling.
Next word: Feet.
Okay, so that "fire" took me way too long!
In Hilton Street there is a house, with wooden frames all black.
The lovely dame that lived there once, is never coming back.
Every day she gave out coins to compensate two boys.
But shopping for the Granny Smith won't make the cost of toys.
"Dude, two bucks is not enough", the smaller one then said.
With a pretty nasty grin agreed the older lad.
When Lady Betty did her walk into the lovely morning sun,
the foxy kids sneaked in the house and the tragedy had begun.
Searching through old Lady's junk they came across a jar,
that - standing on a kitchen rack - was out of reach by far.
"That glass is full of dollar coins!" the smaller one assumed,
Some sturdy can beside the stove looked good at first, but quickly they were doomed.
While older boy stood on the can to get the treasure trove,
the smaller tried to hold that thing - and then he hit the stove.
As they got that worthy jar and sacked the coins inside,
the can's content - still on the stove - met a naturally might.
In Hilton Street there burned a house, two boys died in one whack.
The lovely dame that lived there once, is never coming back.
In Hilton Street there burned a house, the event, they say, was dire.
A can of oil, put on a stove, has been the cause of fire.
and to continue:
Have you ever heard the beat of four squaredancing feet?
No? So better go with speed to a dance school meet and greet!
next word : attempt :=
It was horrible to see, how they failed their first attempt,
Tough though they might be, it was a horrid event,
,,this so hard.
next word : Glass
I took a book and sit on the grass
Opened the bottle and filled up the glass
next word: Orange
I was sitting on my stool while eating my orange,
When someone came in and squeaked the door hinge.
I dropped my orange and it went splat,
Causing the juice to squirt all over my lap.
Now I'm wet, and this rhyme sounds vulgar,
I better stop, before I'm actually over.
Next word: Custard
It looked like a whole room covered in custard
When I used the microwave to heat up some mustard
Next word: Fife
A Shire lies between two Firths. The one of Tay and that of Forth. It's Fife.
It once was the garden of Scota, a pharaos daughter, mother of the Gaels and their father GoÃdel Glas's wife.
Next word: Play
The world is a complex place
With a lot of things at play
Of all the things you think you've seen
The real shit will come in may
Next word: Insurance
She saw his BMW
and thought "This is my lucky chance",
fiddled with a break pedal screw
and sacked a neat life insurance.
next word: reason
People want to know why all the fuss
Then I guess there's no reason
When Georgie sold his dream to satan
Why we considered it treason
> Havana
Noisy stomping hippo feet
trembling the savannah.
if I only had a nice
cigar in havana...
> breakthrough
I was racing to make a breakthrough
But had trouble with my brake crew
Got distracted by the lovely lake view
Now I'm surrounded by a hake zoo
>Armadillo
Not as hard as armadill-oh.
Very nice to take a chill, oh.
Stuff some soft stuff in, it will, oh
becoming a dreamlike sleeping pillow!
>Prehistoric
Was messing with this machine
Settings real and metaphoric
Turned out to be a time device
Now I'm stuck in the prehistoric
> Convergence
The dinosaurs were prehistoric
Their roars considered stereophonic
But to try and create one would be moronic
Because they'd probably eat ewe [sic]
New word: Gondola
Edit: I was too slow! Dammit.
Edit 2: and my last line probably didn't rhyme... but that did... I think
EDIT 3:
The last two posts suffered a convergence
Which resulted in a problematic divergence
Which new word to use?
It was sure to confuse?
Problem solved by this third edits emergence
New word: Gondola (again)
Wha gwaan me breda
I an I is floating inna gondola
Pushin' de ting is dis sexy gyal
But she won' let me fondle ha'
> Fits
When we started cloning politicians
All people would break out in fits
They now like the Sarahs and Hillaries
But they keep returning the Mitts
> Forthwith
Who's using something like "forthwith"?
Your choice o' word it seems so stiff!
Something even Shakespeare (profession: wordsmith)
worked only twentyfour times with
and this will not be the twentyfifths!
>Slime
What's this about slime?
That word ain't worth a dime
Come on, gimme something fine
Then hold on tight while I bust a rhyme
> Shudder
A mighty fine word is shudder
A good example of onomatopoeia
It's a boat grounding on a reef without a rudder
Or the physical disgust of drinking milk straight from the udder
Edit: oh and the new word is...
> insania
When black is white
All consumed with mania
When wrong is right
You're living in insania
> Bodacious
And here it comes...
Jack, that's really bodacious!
You choose the next word
and the thread becomes fugacious!
:= := :=
> Diary
Diary, I punched a hole in the sky
A bolt fell down and cracked a tree
Now the swans are flying high
Soon I'll join them and be free
Then, dear diary, I'll identify
The next game in line for me
Next word: antimony
Settled in Egypt, they worshipped cats
And stained their sockets with antimony
Then migrated north, to colder lands
There taken over by fearful sanctimony
> Nugget
The word is too difficult
Hoped you might've dug it
I set the challenge for Babar
But he can't rhyme with nugget
> Saviour
Dusting off your saviour
Forgiving any behavior
Wait... I stole these lyrics from my neighbour
He was a Red Hot Chili Peppiour
next word is? (laugh)
Doh!
er...
The next word is Kumpel!
I see, what you did
and it shows me your wit.
Taking the word kumpel
proves your taste very well.
> Haggis
The results o' last year's MAGGIES
Sweeter than a plate of tasty haggis
A tear o'joy slid down my face
Great chieftain o' the puddin'-race
> Malaise
It's back and forth
Stuck in dreary malaise
Time to step into
The sun's giving rays
> Codger
Figuring out a rhyme
That is utterly sublime
And works with codger
Is like trying to find a lodger
Who will always pay on time
> Hitherto
Invented yellow journalism
Still a dick hitherto
Really sought his rosebud
And croaked at Xanadu
> Fulminate
