Yellow, papyrus.
We're staying at home
Because of the virus.
not because I like it
we ran out of better
because of the virus
Violets duller,
When it comes to wine
I'm not fussed about colour.
in glorious profusion,
We need an audience
for Ship’s Eurovision
Merlot is redder
The first is too sweet
The second is better
No wine. No gin.
Trip to Walmart
Has done me in.
Brown is the toast
Just back from Walmart?
You need wine the most.
Violets are blue
Roses are red
I confess to not having
Engaged with that thread...
Violets are red
Roses are blue
You’d just love to join in
You know that you do!
Green is the tree
It all looks a bit
Complicated for me.
Violets pretty.
I hope you like
My little ditty.
Your roses and violets
Could win the cup.
Fly over to Heaven,
Still time to sign up!
Roses are red
Violets are spent.
I think from this thread
I’d best be absent.
(Before a host appears to give me the boot)
that we got delivered
We're eyeing it for breakfast
with pancakes and bacon
Your wine is red too
With pancakes and bacon?
I’m glad I’m not you!
Violets are blue
I am totally fed up
How about you?
Roses are twinned [desperate attempt to find a rhyme]
The attractions of lockdown
Are wearing thin
Dandelions hated
I'd rather be locked down
Than intubated.
Daffodils yellow
Wales euro ditty*
Was stunningly mellow
*See Heaven
Les Roses sont rouges
Mauves les lilas
L’Euro chanson Francais va commencer
Regardez-le, la*
Roses are red
Violets are blue
The French Euro song is about to begin
Watch it over in Heaven.
<notworthy>
Violets are blue
Cumming must go
and the rest of them too.
I wondered how long it would take for DC to feature in a verse ...
[/tangent]
Raspberries too,
Age Concern said,
We'll get some for you.
With shopping done for me today.
Dusty the heath.
Raspberry seeds
Get lodged in the teeth.
Klingons are cool
Prune juice and ear cheese
Will make them all drool
(Also in Eurovision, Heaven)
Golden Is honey
I like it set
I can't manage runny!
(Hoping it sets in fridge!)
That's hardly a shock
I hope that your honey
Don't turn into rock
Roses are red
So it's always seemed
If honey's too runny
Have you tried it creamed?
Honey's less runny
I'll spread some on bread
Hope it tastes yummy!
I eat my peas with honey
I've done it all my life
It makes the peas taste funny
But it keeps them on the knife.
[/tangent]
Spread with butter
No honey, jam,
or fluffernutter.
Fluffernutter unknown
Sounds like a peanut
That's found 'neath the throne
For fluffernutter -
white bread, marshmallow,
and peanut butter.
Golden the grain.
My garden is glad of
This much-needed rain.
Golden the crown,
It's too much too soon
On the ease of lockdown.
Navy my shoes.
I'm crying out for
Some really good news.
which means a good day
When I stick to the local
the news is okay
So to keep from heartache
I'll simply think about
Chocolate cake.
Violets are blue
I am totally fed up
How about you?
pizza is cooking
I feel pretty good
but am not good looking
Azure my mood
One way to change that
Is eat too much food.
Roses are red
Violets are blue,
I have to confess
I've been doing that too.
Red is the rose
Green is the vine
What also helps
Is plenty of wine.
Cows, they have horns
I bought me a rose
And give you the thorns
Violets are blue
England is heading
For Lockdown Take Two.
Violets are blue
If you've voted him in again
I'm coming for you.
Amen to that!
Tangerines orange
Oh bother - I've just remembered "orange" is the only word in English that doesn't have any rhymes ...
Roses are red
Violets are purple
Orange doesn't rhyme
But neither does ...
daren't we elbow empty sandwiches
(which I think, except for the "to" and "we" has words all with no rhymes)
Would orange go with "door hinge"? or is that cheating?
(I did keep it to 4 lines, but it's free verse)
May rhyme, one suspects
But only in aitchless
Dialects
