THE RHYMING GAME

[CrimsonKingAH]

If I keep talking, thought I, my head again I shall wear!
So I buckled right in, I went right to it!

To my surprise, it would not fit.

When all of a sudden, I was not there anymore... was it all a dream?

 

[blunthead]

To my surprise, it would not fit.

When all of a sudden, I was not there anymore... was it all a dream?

Or I had descended into a reduction scheme?

There wasn't much left for me to do...

 

[Walter Oobleck]

Or I had descended into a reduction scheme?
There wasn't much left for me to do...

What did I do? Twenty-three, skiddoo! Skip to the loo?
Not on you life, said I to me, I'm in for the long haul.

 

[blunthead]

What did I do? Twenty-three, skiddoo! Skip to the loo?
Not on you life, said I to me, I'm in for the long haul.

I intend to rebuild myself a bit at time, y'all.

I'll start with my toes...

 

[CrimsonKingAH]

I'll start with my toes...

But alas, the leak reappeared , and thus a new beginning to my woes.

I floated above the monstrosity and behold, a gateway I found.

But alas, the leak reappeared , and thus a new beginning to my woes.
I floated above the monstrosity and behold, a gateway I found.

Just behind the leak's corobundorum it was, hinged, and it was round,
with a circular dial that I spun to the left.

Just behind the leak's corobundorum it was, hinged, and it was round,
with a circular dial that I spun to the left.

It opened, I entered, impressed with my deft.

Before me extended a tunnel-like shaft...

 

[CrimsonKingAH]

As I floated into the tunnel I felt a chilly draft.

All the while wondering... am I dead? I have no damn head!

 

[Blake]

I nearly made it to the bed

before I was sapped on the back of my neck

 

[CrimsonKingAH]

I nearly made it to the bed

before I was sapped on the back of my neck

A dozen leak leaves stuck... what the heck!

I started twitching and burning.. what's happening to me?

 

[Blake]

It's really not that very hard too see

The leaves weren't leaves; they were poison ivy!

 

[CrimsonKingAH]

It's really not that very hard too see

The leaves weren't leaves; they were poison ivy!

But if I am dead.. how can this be?

As I look at myself.. I begin to see, branches appearing where arms use to be!

 

[blunthead]

And knotholes for eyes grew so I could see,

I had roots for feet and leaves for hair...

 

[Walter Oobleck]

And knotholes for eyes grew so I could see,
I had roots for feet and leaves for hair...

I began to entertain thoughts of pollination, fertilizer, fresh air.
I longed for the wind to blow, the skies to open, the rain to fall.

 

[CrimsonKingAH]

My curiosity grows.. should I look? Do I dare?
I lower my eyes and see, a new little twig with a couple of leaves.

 

[Walter Oobleck]

My curiosity grows.. should I look? Do I dare?
I lower my eyes and see, a new little twig with a couple of leaves.

I resist the urge to sing the refrain, 'we shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves'.
and recognize a powerful new hungerment, possibly some hock & loin.

 

[blunthead]

Possibly a side of beef, and where this all is going,

Meanwhile rushing headlong onward forward...

 

[CrimsonKingAH]

I thought about turning back, man or leak, I'm no coward.

but instead I keep going... I must find an answer to this nightmare.

 

[Walter Oobleck]

I thought about turning back, man or leak, I'm no coward.
but instead I keep going... I must find an answer to this nightmare.

that's when Mr Heney came through the bull rushes, said can I interest you in some plant ware?
I've got all the latest styles for a leak of your stature.

 

[blunthead]

Flying up? Flying down? I can't tell, it's not fair!

Just faster and faster, my knotholes are stinging...
