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?
Bird
Squat
Third
Pot
Ranch
Old
Branch
Hold
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.
Under the rock shaped like a bird
ReplyDeleteDid the silent hunter squat
Determined to claim his prize, this day was his third
The kill wasn't to fill his pot
No, he meant to hang it on the wall of his ranch
To watch his prize stay young as he grew old
!CRNCH!
The hunt is on with the sudden snap of a branch
and this story will have to be put on hold...
This guy is stealthy! He hides under rocks? Ouch. :P
DeleteP.S. I think the crunch line was an excellent reason to break the crambo instructions a little. :)

in the bush, but a Third

the Old
hand at the yellow Branch

ReplyDeleteSprings from squat,
Tries a third
Time to reach the pot.
On the ranch,
Young or old,
Birds leave the branch
As wind takes hold.
