A 15 year old forgetting his alphabet :eek:. Whatever next? I do apologise...

Holbytlass: I did use the Members list function before, but I didn't want to do members who aren't active. Some of those people havn't come on the BD since 1970! And a very large number signed up, posted a little and left. I much prefer referring to the people I've come to know so well. :)

At least there was a correction of this fault. Now, let's continue... These are greatly humorious. ;)

I once ran into a clear plastic door that my father had just cleaned and polished. I sympathise with all you other door-walkers.

Another thought: perhaps we should make a Tolkien characters version? That way we could put in their actual deaths :D.

Anyway, I'm in two minds about doing "Z." The only regular Downer beginning with Z is Zifnab, and he's already been done (in by a door).

Gil-Galad 05-21-2005 09:04 AM

We don't want the Barrow-wight coming down on us do we now? back on topic!

Holbytlass 05-22-2005 05:43 PM

'Z' is for zb who was stabbed by Elanor.

In my version of English (and I sound as if I could get a job with the BBC's World Service most of the time ) Rickshaw and Singapore rhyme... obviously the scansion is different.....

Lalaith 05-24-2005 08:43 AM

Blimey Gil-Galad, that rhyme is what I call throwing down the gauntlet. Here goes:

B is for Bethberry, whose essay on classical myth gave mortal offence to the goddess Hera.

(Btw - the original gashlycrumb tinies were in rhyming couplets, so perhaps we could allow C to be a new rhyme...)

C is for Celebuial who got lost on the moor

THE Ka 05-24-2005 11:08 PM

(**Announcement**. PLEASE! Keep on topic, I would like as much as everyone else like to see this thread continue, but If it is abused we lose it. Thank you. And also, thanks to those who continued the ryhmes in the great turmoil of nonsense that could be made into PM's. This was not meant to be harsh, just advisable!)
