The rhyming couplet thread

[hopsfox]

It's not that easy being green
you know, as in Kermit's song and dance routine

Now, most bees prefer deep violet and blue
it's the nectar their really after and not the hue

If the bees aquired a taste for the sweeter green
the green flower would flourish, from that altered gene

But why indeed when there is not a need
would people mess with someone's elses breed

or paint their behind like a dahlia
the colour divine but the smell a right failure

(first and two last lines totally stolen )

You say your life is depressing and very bland
I think what you need is a helping hand
A friend to be there, to make you smile
Please don't hurt yourself, come stay for awhile.
.............
Throw rocks at me and try to break my heart
I have taken another view, a fresh new start
Do what you want to feel better by hurting me
You will only be hurting yourself in the end, you see.
..............
In this box lies a big surprise
The box opens, I cannot believe my eyes
An adorable orange stripped kitty of my own
I will never leave you alone.

.............

Hair so blonde and eyes so blue
The first time I seen you, I knew I loved you
I held your hand, around my finger, your fingers curled
A big beautiful smile, that could save the world.

I shall hereby with joy and exultation bump this thread
so that the best thing to happen on this forum will not be dead.

 

[In a lonely place]

The sun is bright, the sky is blue
The pollen is high, I've got hayfever too.

 

[Okiedokes]

My eyes as they watch the skies
I'm thinking of worries and all the whys
This is silly, I can do what I feel is right
If I'm tested, perhaps I'll take a flight.

What is it you need
That makes your heart bleed?

Do you really know?
Cause it doesn't show.

(Shamelessly nicked from 'Round and Round' by New Order).

 

[In a lonely place]

And so the sun
it has become

A welcome change
from all this rain

On this wee isle
We raise a smile

Games have begun
Though we've not won

Life's not such a struggle
for this English muggle.

I purchased a laptop, but they sent the wrong model
So I called customer support seeking someone to throttle

 

[In a lonely place]

So a customer assistant lives in terror,
All because of some computer error?

 

[Okiedokes]

Love can feel so good and also so bad
but when you feel nothing, it's a love that you never even had.
Perhaps a good friendship that is what took place
even though I look back, it's a little hard to face
The idea that I gave you my love, and you gave me yours
but I guess for you it seemed like a bunch of chores.
I didn't ask for too much but you can't force what's not there
even after all of this I still do really care
But I cannot put myself or you through that kind of pain
my love for you will always remain.

I once saw Santa racing down Main in a model-T
While advertising McDouglas' Pine Hill Carpentry!

I once saw Elvis, climbing up an oak,
His jeans got torn and his guitar strings broke.

 

[mintymint]

The sun is shining through the trees
Last night's sleep was such a tease

 

[In a lonely place]

I once saw Madonna bathing nude on a beach,
When I told her to cover up she said 'Papa don't preach'.

 

[mintymint]

a slit in the side let's the light creep
skinny beams dance, dividing my sleep

 

[frizzler]

well... guess what?
chicken butt

 

[Okiedokes]

Take out all my emotions and hold them in a safe place
I don't think I can deal with this on my own, just in case
Manipulation and control that you have over me
Take these strings and rip them out of me..I plea..
For a sense of comfort and a safe place to rest my head
If I let him take over me and my life again I could be dead.

 

[Okiedokes]

Here is another day, a gift to me and you
Tomorrow may not come, so let's enjoy what we can do
