"I hate Bush"

I completed it:

so look at my tush
and all your hate
will melt into mush


Go!

1. I hate an orange....

:hide:

[bertha katzenengel]

2. but dig a kiwi

peel off the fuzzy stuff
and have some with me

?

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. Hah! Don't even get me started on CPS and my run-ins with them.

[bertha katzenengel]

6. You don't know what will happen if you turn that key, my friend.

My eyeballs will boy-yoing and fire will shoot out my ass.
The resulting pissed-off man-rocket will spell CPS's well-deserved end!

?

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. Fantastic!

4. Enjoying The Color Of Springtime Flowers

[bertha katzenengel]

7. must now be done in my memory

the touch of a tulip upon my cheek
brings joy enough, though I once could see

?

[Rowdyboy]

5. Well, you already skillfully dodged "orange" so I'll give you another...

"I'm a very bad boy, though my hair is silver...."

8. I hate to mow the lawn

[bertha katzenengel]

10. it's the nastiest chore

so I start it at dawn
try to finish by four

[KittyWampus]

13. Pretty Good!

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. So I'm on the train this morning reading "Twin's Hardcore Shower Stories"

[bertha katzenengel]

14. The guy across from me says, "Where's your yellow hankie?" --

and winks.
I go red and say, "I don't know what you're talking about;" "golden showwww-ers," leers he
"Oh, uh, no, no, you misunderstand," stammers I; "this is about, uh, plumbing hijinks."

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. LOL!

Bertha, you're the best!

[boilerbabe]

23. tis not the plumbing...

tis the hijinks, under the low sinks. One must get a perspective to gain the objective...

[bertha katzenengel]

24. Touche!

:bounce:

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. If ZombyWoof says he battened the hatches

[bertha katzenengel]

18. we'd best go round and check them

the storm's coming up, wind's at fifteen knots--
reent! reent! reent! baby, get up, you're going fishing with Ben...

[AverageJoe]

17. The curtains are waving

[bertha katzenengel]

19. the couch is weeping --

the chair is leaving
and no one knew

she gave no notice
not a single, "hey, listen"
now the living room has a hole
and the whole house is blue


(two for the price of one)

[AverageJoe]

20. Very, very nice

Yes, indeed.

[halobeam]

22. Gotta say this one's my favorite.

Looking forward to more.

[bertha katzenengel]

25. thanks, halobeam

21. This has been a blast!

But I have to go to bed.
Perhaps tomorrow we shall continue
with another rhyming quatrain thread.

'night, all.
