Gims, I think it's fun when more than one of us writes using the same words. I think this whole thread is wonderful, and there's no such thing (IMO) as "hogging the words", because they're here for anyone to use, once, twice, several times over. When the spirit moves you to write, you gotta write.

Lol Gims you could be serious competition for Dr. Spock
you got any new words?

I'll try Eagle's: remember, fog, lighthouse, raft

Oh daft,
I left my raft,
In the turquoise waters of Thailand,
It’s floating by a lighthouse island!

“Well,, do you have a foggy notion
Why you jumped into that salty ocean?”

Yes, it was a stormy day in November!
I was a little drunk, - can’t really remember.
- wanted to travel like they did on Kon-Tiki,
Ran out of drinks, and got so damn thirsty.
So I jumped off, and cried “Oh mercy”!

Now I’m sitting in a bar drinking whisky,
mourning over my raft, feeling misty.
Tired of traveling, don't want to roam.
"Hellooooo? - Can anyone out there take me home?"

I wish, isn't Dr. Spock the kid doctor... better yet, I wouldn't mind being his daughter. He must be really old now... he was looking it when my daughters were still youngsters.

My words were on bottom... I went back to insert spaces beneath them so they'd be more noticeable... here they are again: thread, broke, hurt, end

I want some of that chocolate, BTW...!!! I'll even let you pinch them to find the nuggets and ones with nuts - my favs.

cute poem, chick...


lol.... here they are again...lol : thread, broke, hurt, end

I have decided to combine several of you ladies words if thats okay! Who's hogging now? LOL!!!

As I write this poem, oh my, oh me,
I laugh and chuckle, filled with GLEE.

My brow is furled, pain in my head,
Why ever did I begin this THREAD?

With a sharp stick I feel a poke,
Then I realize that I am BROKE.

Though maybe now I can't act so kurt,
Being pennyless is starting to HURT.

I use to save cash like a church mouse,
Now I spend like the keeper of a LIGHTHOUSE.

If only I had talent some type of craft,
I could go sailing, not just floating on this RAFT.

The air is damp my dress feels soggy,
Can't see a bloody thing cause its so FOGGY.

I should turn back and not tempt fate,
Before I hit the rocks and mush like CHEESECAKE.

I am starving, I am feeling so wet,
I wish and am dreaming of ooey-gooey CHOCOLATE.

A happy tune I will be belting,
When land appears and I'm no longer MELTING.

Never go sailing or rafting in November.
now hear my words and always REMEMBER.

Before you take chances these words I lend,
Always be cautious or you'll come to a sorry END.

WORDS: fickle, vinegar, elephant, nightowl

thread, broke, hurt, end

A needle and thread went out for a drink
And sat on some spools at the bar
The needle was broke and needed a smoke
So he bought him a fancy cigar

A round of Pale Ale was bought by the thread
And they started a yarn about britches
T'was funny to see them joking and laughing
These two old friends were in stitches

Not long ago they fought like two fools
So they patched up and mended their hurt
They button their lips now and see eye to eye
In the end they would each give their shirt

When life gets you down and you're wanting to fight
Just think like the two of these friends
So pull up a spool and have a good chat
And go about making amends

That was very clever, Chick. Very funny and punny! I love playing with words, and I especially love when words can be worked in such a way as to work on many different levels. This was a masterpiece!
