Friday Fun Day - Crambo aka Bouts Rimés - Turtle

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?
 
 
Swim
Glide
Trim
Hide
Flap
Tell
Clap
Shell
 
 
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. Sink or swim
    Skip or glide
    You can't trim
    It won't hide
    Fear likes to flap
    Lips long to tell
    Courage can clap
    Shut worry's shell

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