...as long as they pronounce it properly! -- Professor Henry Higgins)
Honi soit qui mal y pense !
The Order of the Garter.
----please, draw me a sheep----
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.
BEDIZEN – BEFORE
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!
PS jennyjenny is so lucky to be the subject of your verse
BEDIZEN – BEFORE
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!
I'm immortal until proven otherwise
Yes sir Rhube, two good words from Candy would be dandy
So let's pour a drink; slow is Candy, liquor is quicker
Cheers!
Oh Rhuby & jennyjenny......thankyou. Even though it looks like I ask for it Very fine words indeed. First time I've had my name put into verse.
Try these next
PLEACH POLITICIAN
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.

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
My spell-check is angry with me.
