About a fork with bent tines


;^)#

but when he got to line three

and became quite carefree

using quite inappropriate rhymes.

=================================

Two mice, in a maze, in a lab,

searching for the well-hidden slab

(a slab, is 24 cans of beer in Aus, I don't know if it's the same OS)

They ran around in circles

until they turned purple

Then hailed the next Yellow Cab.

=====================================
Last night as I gazed at the stars,

From inside my cracked purple Vase
(hello )

And thinking of great names for new bars

like derick or fred
(oops we seem to have collided our second lines, but never mind we'll have 2, here is the third)

This is to follow on from purple vase (in case that isn't clear from the left-hand side):

A sudden pain in my neck

(And a hello! from me, too )

OK, this could get confusing, but here's a 4th line offering after "derick or fred"...

Or "The alcohol shed"

as a possible 5th line to bars :-
i'm setting up one soon on mars

dont ask me about the other one, i'm getting confused

made me cry out "Oh Heck!"

If I may attempt to clarify, I believe we have two fine pieces of poetry on the go:

Last night as I gazed at the stars,
From inside my cracked purple vase,
A sudden pain in my neck,
...
...


Last night as I gazed at the stars,
And thinking of great names for new bars,
Like Derick or Fred,
Or "The Alcohol Shed",
I'm setting up one soon on Mars

Last night as I gazed at the stars,
From inside my cracked purple vase,
A sudden pain in my neck,
Made me cry out "oh heck!
I must stop this star-gazing from jars."

I've forgotten my date with LaMaze.

Here's one in full. :>

While waiting for this page to load
I searched out and kissed twenty toads
Though I started anew
I guess that wouldn't do
So while waiting I'll build an abode.
