Me and a couple dozen CF friends got together in the "Stich in Rhyme" thread and wrote a poem together.... the rules were simple -- each poster would write a pair of lines, and each person's first line had to rhyme with the last person's second line.... and the poem we wrote is, by turns, funny, silly, humble, spiritual, and joyful!!

I went for a walk,
ended up in the zoo
I came down with the flu,
so I took a short rest
Split pea soup is the best,
I'm having a bowl
of God's word 4 my soul,
with a cup of dew..
just for you
I ran up the hill.
I am sleepy still
maybe I'll go back to bed.
Go back to bed if you're so lead
I think I'll just post..
while eating a roast
and get back together
You should see our weather
Lots of snow and ice!
But the weather is nice!!
Not a cloud in the sky
Don't make me cry
it's so slick outside.
you might have cried
Don't feel so sad.
It's not that bad.
Tomorrow is another day
I should feel that way
but you should look out my window!
Just to watch the wind blow?
You should stoke the fire!!
its where the wind does blow
but Ill follow the sun
wood choppers for hire
No thanks I'll chop my own.
The wind has already blown
So I shall take a walk
more walk and less talk
melts the pounds away
Lose a pound or two today,
And we may live a longer life!!
Do you have a wife?
Drink more water is good too.
while you feast on Irish stew
then have a rest
...Eight hours is best.
Then arise with the sun.
Ever heard "You're the one?"
listening to old tunes.
while sleeping in the dunes?
Listening to the roar of the ocean
... to the waves in rhythmic motion.
Who can question God's existence?
No one can from a distance.
Love in time
even if you dont have a dime
makes the world go round
...keeps friendships bound.
Love is a splendid thing!
Say's you with resounded ring
Ah to leave our cares behind.
...a new purpose to find.
The Lord is faithful, and He will guide you into renewed life.
get you far from care and strife
free to live in truth and grace
and keep making a funny face
smiling all the while
God, I think, does things with style,
Our World is such a Gift!!
God gives us all a lift
when we kneel
it's the best thing to do, fer real
cuz He's willing and able
to keep us stable
and give us peace
so what we can do, at the least
is love one another Gods way.
Feeding horses their hay,
I find myself sneezing
and all of our worries will cease
always be thankful, for everything
Let us Sing!
Thank You Heavenly Father!
Oh why even bother?
Anyways back to tv I go
cough hacking and wheezing
need and inhaler to help me please.
so I don't haul off n' sneeze
could ya' gimme a break?
Goodness, and for goodness sake!!
Sneeze until the moment passes
I must need glasses,
To read the next post
or I'll go and have toast
while I sit under a tree
I like my toast with jelly
and maybe a little butter.
while I watch a butterfly flutter
in the evening breeze
the oranges I must squeeze
to get the juice I crave.
for my hunger I must stave
and drink a fresh clear glass
That's because you've got class!!
I also like apple juice
Let's make a truce...
When it comes to juice, pomegranite it better.
I'll agree to that if you'll put it in a letter!!
I'll write one back, and put it in the mail
but if the postman was to fail
I'd bang my head against the wall
and then I'd prob'ly, most certainly fall...
but then get back up again
The Lord lift you with His strength, Amen!!
And every little thing will be just fine
hey, that was just in time
Gotta send ya' a 'high-five'er'
Hope this thread won't be a diver,
Thanks for helping to keep it up!!
He says while drinking from his cup
Laugh and pray that it won't go
To letting it go, I say 'No'!
The fun of rhyme has just begun
It's just a ton o' fun!
Let the party begin
I see I'll have to put a league in!!
Or not a league, maybe just a yard
whole thread at once, it is hard,
but post by post it's a cinch
please give me a pinch
I think I'm asleep
