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?

There will be no winner. This is just for fun
and the joy of rhyming a smile for everyone.

it causes a scene!

Use that dew -
Reflect your beauty in the green,
Steal the scene.
