Friday Fun Day - Crambo aka Bouts Rimés - Cheese Platter

 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?
 
 
Cheese
Nuts
Please
Cuts
Pick
Fruit
Click
Loot
 
 
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. He asked the clerk for a bit of cheese,
    a bottle of wine and a tin of nuts.
    "Perchance some meat. Oh pretty please?"
    "Especially of your finest Cuts."

    "I'll need a cloth, so here's my pick,"
    "and this tray of your choicest fruit."
    The register tabulated click, click, click,
    then greedily accepted all his loot.

  3. Grandpa said, "Say cheese!"
    With a mouthful of nuts.
    Instead I said, "Pleeeease
    Pass the tray of cold cuts."
    He said that I could pick,
    But should stick with the fruit.
    I heard his camera click,
    As I chewed my fat loot.
