The Rhyming Game

Grey_Wolf · 03-15-2011, 03:17 AM

This game is played as follows:

I begin the game by posting a sentence.

The next poster posts a sentence which last word rhymes with the last word in my sentence.

Let it be a couple sentences - a beginning, a mid and an end.

Grey_Wolf · 03-15-2011, 03:18 AM

Three men sat in a boat on the Thames.

Midge · 03-15-2011, 09:40 AM

"Bert," said Will. "Don't play no games!"

***Jonathan*** · 03-15-2011, 02:23 PM

Hm, maybe one could refine the rules a bit.
There is a very limited number of words that rhyme with the Thames (and games I'm sorry to say isn't one of them)

***Varnafindë*** · 03-15-2011, 03:09 PM

And will the next poster then post a new sentence for the next poster to complete the couplet - or will you all be running down the Thames indefinitely?

***Earniel*** · 03-15-2011, 03:33 PM

That thief stole my gems?

(That's as close as I get.

)

Grey_Wolf · 03-15-2011, 04:32 PM

(I hope the edited rules will make this easier)

"Indeed he did - now I have to tell me dames."

THE END OF THIS COUPLET.

[OOC]Yes, I was going to ask if it was just going to be in pairs or what, but I was using my iPod and the typing was bothering my husband. Another question is "Is this going to be one long continuous poem, or kind of a series of short rhyming couplets?"

And what, you mean you don't pronounce "Thames" as "tames"? Well, I live in the Midwest USA. You can't blames me!

Edit: Actually, I thought they were on the river in Southern Connecticut, not the British one. That one's pretty much overexposed.

...I'm guessing there shouldn't be a whole lot of "OOC"s here.[/OOC]

New couplet.. Huh...

A leak then sprung in the hull of the boat...

Oh, in that case I apologise. I'm sure Grey Wolf had the Connecticut river in mind all along (and even knew that river existed before now!

)
Especially since he tried to rhyme with dames which wouldn't do for the overexposed London river anyway

...to abandon "ship" was to put to a vote...

***Varnafindë*** · 03-16-2011, 08:19 AM

... but speaking against it was the ship's goat.

Grey_Wolf · 03-16-2011, 10:28 AM

The men, incensed, showered him over with groat.

***Varnafindë*** · 03-16-2011, 08:49 PM

His chance of survival was rather remote.

***Valandil*** · 03-16-2011, 11:06 PM

Stop that rhyming, and I mean it!

Midge · 03-16-2011, 11:41 PM

Val knelt in the groat and began to clean it-

***Valandil*** · 03-16-2011, 11:48 PM

(correct response is...)

Anybody want a peanut?

Grey_Wolf · 03-17-2011, 02:49 AM

New couplet:

A princess sat in a tower...

Grey_Wolf · 05-05-2011, 04:58 PM
