  • Come for a swim in my brand new pool
    Your piranha paper was enough; I am no fool.

    The guests are met, the feast is set
    And that piranha's just a pet.

    I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,

    or, if I prefer, to Coventry.

    How much is that doggie in the window?


  • OK, the OP and subsequent messages tried to make it clear that the first line is an invitation and the second line "spoils" the invitation. Having failed to make this clear, I'll bow out now and let y'all make of this thread whatever you wish.
  • Well, my last was a sort of invitation - a question, at any rate! I thought it would get under the radar, so to speak!

    Not in real accordance with the thread, but the old limerick:

    There was a young fellow called Nates
    Who danced the fandago on skates.
    Til a fall on his cutlass
    Rendered him nutless
    And practically useless on dates.
  • Wouldn't you like to fly in my beautiful balloon?
    Not the one with a steam organ so out of tune?

    Will you live in my yellow submarine?

    Will you listen while a recite my poem?
