Friday Fun Day - Crambo aka Bouts Rimés - Globe

 Bouts Rimés means "rhymed ends" in French and is a game or challenge where one person (me) makes a list of rhymed words and others (you) write the lines that end with those rhymes, in the same order in which they were given. It was known as Crambo in English and was quite popular in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Will you help me bring back this hip historical habit?
 
 
Global
Pole
Noble
Troll
City
Sea
Pretty
Free
 
Above are the words.
Get writing rhyme nerds!
There will be no winner. This is just for fun
and the joy of rhyming a smile for everyone.

  1. the epidemic is Global
    even the Pole
    dancers are on strike, Noble
    and starting to resemble a Troll
    whats wrong with this City
    perhaps the Sea
    should rise & wash her Pretty
    thats my advice, and it's Free

    1. Sorry I'm late posting this comment... I LOVED this! I'm so glad you've joined in Crambo so I can hear you rhyme more. :)

  2. I'd like to travel global,
    see the friged Southern Pole.
    Or somewhere less than noble,
    see a bridge owned by a troll.

    Just keep me from the city,
    Or A metropolis by the Sea.
    A road less travelled's pretty,
    and the grandeurs always free.

    1. I'm sorry I'm so late posting this comment. I loved your use of the road less travelled! It really brings the imagery together. :)

    2. Did you like the word I made up? "Travelled's"

    3. Yep, although you could just write it out. It would still have a nice rhythm. :-)

Rhyming or not, I would like a lot to hear the thoughts my words brought...
