I’m starting a new thread about poetry. I’ve taken Gemini1789 rhyme idea which I liked.

Each post will be to create 3 lines of poetry. The first line you will be given.

My starter:
- Midway upon the journey of my life
- I met my lover and became a wife
- Many hours were spent out walking
(the first two lines rhyme then importantly the last doesn't)

So the next person - Take the last line and writes two more
- Many hours were spent out walking
- Stopping for lunches and doing nothing but talking
- Days turned into years

Next person takes that last line and writes two more:
- Days turned into years
- And my laughter turned to tears
- We had to say “Goodbye”

RULES
Take the last person's last line
You write another line to rhyme
Then write another line that does not rhyme.
No rhythm necessary.
- 3 lines in total are needed before you post.

The game now starts with the next person taking that last line: "We had to say, "Goodbye"

Lets have a sociable coffee
And share some homemade banoffe

Some for the boys, too!
Hate bananas. Do I have to ?

Make a resolution. Never again

Hangovers now are really sad
I don't like feeling so bad

I hope you’ve got ‘sommit’ to cheer me up
Maybe a tot of alcohol for me to sup

Come on Santa off you go
It's time you sorted out all the woe.

We want a Santa full of joy
Not one who’s hiding and being coy

I can’t take moaning Santas
Positivity is one of my mantras

I’ll tell him it’s time to get cracking

The elves would be tugging to get Santa out
He’s been complaining like mad that he has the gout

I can’t take moaning Santas

Tim the season to be jollly Bella. It matters not a jot. tchgrin

If he’d gotten stuck Lord knows the result
He’d be jammed in the middle by his enormous bulk.

I was hoping he’d creep down my chimney last night
It’s only narrow, it would’ve been tight

If he’d gotten stuck, Lord knows the result

I was hoping he'd creep down my chimney last night
I stayed by the fireplace until it got light

He's so big and hairy, but has a nice grin
And a lovely white beard on his chinny chin chin.

Always looking for an absolute steal
Or one of those two-for-one deals

Somebody bring me the painkillers please
To ease my ache, do that at least.

Can't be bothered to get out of bed
With an aching back and a pain in my head.

Must get out and give the quilt a shake
Forget it, I think I'll need a rake.
