Poetry by committee

GeoffC · 06-03-2008, 11:06 AM

I'll start. Each next entry has to be no more than one line...

Out of the dark and mysterious void,

carry-on some-one; and no cheating with successive posts by the same contributor

Came a thunderously loud humanoid.

pshrynk · 06-03-2008, 01:34 PM

"This will end in tears," he said,

DixieGal · 06-03-2008, 01:42 PM

So I turned around and went back to bed.

DixieGal · 06-03-2008, 01:44 PM

But into the bed came the humanoid,

GeoffC · 06-03-2008, 01:47 PM

With an evil look in 'is eye...

vivaldirules · 06-03-2008, 02:29 PM

"Preparation H is awl I noyd"

vivaldirules · 06-03-2008, 02:44 PM

Come on, people, pick it up now. More spontaneous. Less thought. This is Dada poetry, not your grandfather's poetry.

Out of the dark and mysterious void,
Came a thunderously loud humanoid.
"This will end in tears," he said,
So I turned around and went back to bed.
But into the bed came the humanoid,
With an evil look in 'is eye...
"Preparation H is awl I noyd"

'Cuz we serve it for dinner with pie.

DixieGal · 06-03-2008, 02:49 PM

Then it directed my gaze to the heavens,

pshrynk · 06-03-2008, 02:52 PM

The Blue One. Next to the fish!

DixieGal · 06-03-2008, 03:05 PM

I flew here on rainbows with fins.

Is this some kind of death wish?

No; merely wish-fulfilment, I thought,

montsnmags · 06-03-2008, 10:08 PM

Now two wishes left. I guess I ought
