Surprise! Let's try a new game... 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. I think we need to bring back this hip historical habit, so I will post this game when I need a break from rhyming riddles and abstract photography. I hope you enjoy the change of game!
Trouble
Bubble
Wonders
Blunders
Pop
Stop
Now write me a rhyme!
It's your turn this time.
I'll pick a winner early next week.
Be sure to come back and take a peek.
Boss called for me,
ReplyDeleteI'm in for Trouble.
Bad social skills,
I'm on the Bubble
The other staff,
really Wonders.
What's the deal,
with bodily Blunders.
Don't they know,
I love my Pop.
And belching is fun,
how can I Stop?
Hehehe!! :) Good one Jeffrey.
DeleteOn the horizon I see trouble
ReplyDeleteA double back to the last financial attack, a bursting bubble
Standing in the rubble, the thunder makes us wonder
What kind of disaster was this blunder?
The whole world went under when the bubble went pop
and now the fires 'ah burning and it's a blaze we can't stop
Great rhyme M. James! It speaks to me on a personal level as well as to the status of the worlds economies. :)
DeleteI'm glad you liked it. I have another if it is ok to post two.
DeletePlease do! The more the merrier. :)
DeleteI got my grass as I'm staying outta trouble
ReplyDeleteKickin' back
hittin' my bong, writin' this song
as I listen to it bubble n' bubble
Chillin', killin', gettin' this funny feelin'
as I begin to wonder
All about the law and this prohibitionist blunder
Turnin' it in to one rhyme or another
as my grass goes crackle n' pop
It's a green revolution rollin'
and ya know it ain't gonna stop!
Another good one! :)
DeleteI think that I really like this game!
DeleteI'm glad! I'm enjoying reading them. I hope we get more!! I think we will. :)
DeleteI was hoping too! I'd like to see Bubba swing by and put up one. I read a number of poems written by the SaraV that comments here occasionally, I imagine she would make something nice out of this too.
DeleteI know! Me too!! I don't have all of their emails, but I think they would like the game. I'm going to share it in a few more places to try to get it where they will see it. I'm sure they'll find it eventually. Right now they are only addicted to Wacky Word Wednesday, but we will get them! :P
DeleteFriday has passed, i hope its no trouble
ReplyDeleteBut a snap of my pop
And a chew of double bubble
I sit with my wonders n ponder these thoughts
what makes these lines so popa de pop
is it or capital letters
or something much better?
of course i have tried to batch up a match
With slip up and blunders
odd worlds from down under
But its six silly words you write in the lines
Six silly words that fly through my mind
And six silly words you keep tweeting like birds
And six silly wait, STOP! Now iv used all the words
I never say stop to words that pop! Thank you for dropping your lines into my rhyme crop. :)
DeleteFollow the rules or you'll be in trouble
DeleteIt's clear that pop doesn't come before bubble
The reason to your rhyme makes me wonder
but I wouldn't call it any kind of blunder
I know too, how it goes, once the lines pop
the rhymes begin to flow and it just don't stop
LOL!! Way to enforce the rules!! :)
DeleteSix words is all it seems to take to say anything!
DeleteI look forward to seeing what you do with the next set! :)
Deletethe Trouble with Bubbles
ReplyDeleteas with any Wonders
is that in our Blunders
they Pop
and what are we left with
but a cold Stop,
and the need to find a washclothe
to wipe off the remnants
LOL! Here's your washcloth... :-)
