Friday Fun Day - Crambo aka Bouts Rimés - Thorns

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?


 
Thorn
Adorn
Bumpy
Jumpy
Prick
Stick
 
 
Above are the words.
Get writing rhyme nerds!
 
There will be no winner. This is just for fun.

    The beautiful rose still has a thorn,
    but does not distract her full adorn.
    You must look past what is bumpy,
    and do not sniff it when you're jumpy.
    'Cause if not careful, it will prick,
    a quick sharp pain from a little stick.

      Of course not! I like the whole thing, but the opening line was my favorite part. It is definitely the type of message I was thinking of when I picked the rhyming words. :)

    I figured as much, I was just harassing you.

      And that is why you fit in well with my family and friends... Is there anyone who doesn't like to harass me?! LOL :)

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