A 15 year old forgetting his alphabet

. 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.

Someone used to much windex on that sliding glass door, I believe.

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

.

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.....

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...)
