Friday Fun Day - Crambo aka Bouts Rimés - Lions

 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?
 
 
 
 
Roar
Pour
Pipe
Hype
Drip
Lip
Shake
Fake
 
 
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.

  2. A stretch and a roar
    Vibrations pour
    Out the main pipe
    Living the hype
    Letting spit drip
    Off the King's lip
    Hoping to shake
    The silence of fake

  3. The wind might roar.
    The rain might pour.
    But them...ummm, something with a pipe...

    Yeah, I'm never very good with these.

  4. Once I heard a Lion roar,
    Water from it's mouth did pour;
    You see, there was a sneaky pipe
    Which emanated all this hype.
    Drops of saliva, drip drip drip,
    Rolling off his bottom lip.
    Then suddenly with a firm head shake
    I realized, "Hey! He's just a fake!"

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