He adored his maternal precursor,
Used a time machine with a reverser.
Met her, young, sweet, and precious,
Then to merge their two fleshes
Proceeded to woo and sedurce her.

Tromboniator made me do it, Candy. I was thinking of a rhyme for "truck" and that was the uppermost word on my mind.

A crude man with big bass trombone
Liked to make jokes in style Anglophone.
He employed the word "truck,"
Thus ensued pit of muck,
Into which jenny jenny fell, prone.

We were playing a game of gin rummy,
Munching snacks that were rancid and scummy:
Fermented raw gizzard
Of Triassic lizard.
The only one knocking? My tummy.
I was probably the only one among my childhood acquaintances who never learned gin rummy. I had to look it up just now to make something relevant.

Dress Code
Jane in the jungle did implore
they couldn't enter society before
her mate Tarzan
exchanged his loin cloth bedizen
for a suit like Giorgio Armani wore
I played gin rummy and lots of card games growing up, Peter
but I had to look up BEDIZEN before I attempted this!

By skilfully using her wise pen
Sweet Candy this thread doth bedizen
But I wish that before
She goes out of our door
Two more words she would give – else we dies, then!

Thanks for the word PLEACH. Never knew this English word though I know the technique. I thought: "what sort of a peach is a pleach?" I liu-ed it.

Try these next PLEACH POLITICIAN Your name in verse: Not the first time you've deserved it. PLEACH: in todays word of the day from Dictionary. com. Word of the Day for Saturday, April 7, 2012 pleach \pleech\, verb: 1. To interweave branches or vines for a hedge or arbor. 2. To make or renew (a hedge, arbor, etc.) by such interweaving. 3. To braid (hair). Robert got up very early, and went off to pleach the big hedge at the foot of the far pasture. -- Mary Webb, Seven for a Secret I might not be able to install plumbing fixtures or to pleach apple trees, but I know how to throw a good party. -- Nancy Atherton, Aunt Dimity and the Family Tree Pleach is derived from the Middle French word plais, which meant "a hedge."

I went to the congressman's speech:
His dark deeds he attempted to bleach.
He's a rank politician,
Tries to hedge his position.
It's time that they vote to impleach.

HEAD – HEAL
An angry spell-check don’t appeal
But my head knows just how it must feel
When “IMPLEACH” is put in
You know it won’t grin:
Its anger just helps it to heal!

Eating baby bunnies is disgustingly tribal Just where are rabbits deemed eatable in the Bible? Even over in Tibet Leveret is just not et Show me that passage and I'll sue that Bible for libel.  What? Oh...I get it...you all are talking about chocolate bunnies. Oh,nevermind.

(Well, after a fashion. Remember? Sportin' Life sings it.)
"A leveret's got big floppy ears
It don't live no 900 years
...It isn't a libel
...To read in the Bible
A leveret's got big floppy ears."
(For a while there - when you started talking about the Bible - I thought you were going to make something about a young rabbi with tea ...)

No, Mister Wofahulicodoc, I don't remember Sportin' Life's song. I'm a bumpkin woman with a bumpkin woman's butt I's make my monies with my bump and grinding strut For you I'd charge fifteen cents It'll add up to pay my rents But I'd sooner drink muddy water than become your slut.

Blasphemies, wofahulicodoc. I can't pull up Sammy. I got mad and dropped the Adobe Reader and now I can't get them back. Sometimes methinks I doth protest too much. No matter, I have another computer and I'll see Sammy tomorrow.

The pool shark, exceedingly pompous,
Could, at eight-ball, predictably, tromp us;
But last night at the poolroom
He suffered a cruel doom:
All his magic shots went catawampus.

Yeahbutt, Trombonus, did you watch the Masters like the rest of us? Bubba's shot went catawampus and so he won the Masters. Your rhyme warrants four stars, while Bubba won four hundred thousand dollars. Life ain't fair.  Oh well, maybe I can rack up some quality points if I hurry using... ANTIQUE - ANVIL

Nope, no Masters: no TV at our house; but we did spend five hours Saturday bundled up in the cold at the ice rink watching a Broomball tournament.

From Zeke the Greek I bought a chic antique -
George Washington's sword with a broken handle
When I chastised Zeke for being oblique
He sold me Thomas Jefferson's anvil.

At my age, not so fast – I must slow down
As along the old cobbles I go down:
As my knees start to shriek
Groovy fun I don't seek,
My whole body is facing a showdown!

Our weight-loss concoction sounds ominous;
Quite a few of our clients said, "Vámanos!"
It's a mixture of oleum
And acid – holy moley! –um,
I think that the two are synominous.

No party cardholder, that’s me
Not a Red nor a Green, do you see
Nor am I a Blue:
I just hunt Caribou.
I shoot ‘em then hang ‘em up high!

Say Rhubarb, you and Tromboniator sure do move fast. I get ready to post only to find that I am two games behind. Humph, I've posted my behind rhyme anyway not because it is good but because it has a message. I call it "Correct Speak"...
Dark ominous waters wash against mankind's last shore
Oleum clouds boil above; a portent of death and gore
When truth cannot be told
The circle will not hold
When words have no meaning reality is nevermore
