Is there room for one more ?

The WOODMOUSE rules are ...

Add a line to rhyme with the last line
and also a line of your own for the next person.

So carrying on ....

l hear a knocking at my front door
I hurry across the slippery floor

‘Who’s there ? ‘ I say and to my surprise

Pantglas2 Wed 11-Mar-20 10:36:33

I’ll get rid of all the clutter and tat
Surplus to requirements? Won’t miss that!

A good spring clean can be most uplifting

A good spring clean can be most uplifting
Brush it under the carpet, that's all I'm shifting!

I'd rather drink gin and put my feet up

I'd rather drink gin and put my feet up
Make myself comfy to have a good sup

How I wish I had my own cleaner

Bellanonna Wed 11-Mar-20 12:27:59

How I wish I had my own cleaner
Someone with a friendly demeanour

A young man, perhaps, strong and able

crazyH Wed 11-Mar-20 12:46:48

A young man, perhaps, strong and able
Someone who can lift my large oak table.

I'm fed up of all this cleaning and polishing

Pantglas2 Wed 11-Mar-20 16:35:27

I’m fed up with all this cleaning and polishing
The amount of chemicals is truly astonishing

Whatever happened to grandma’s beeswax

Whatever happened to grandma's beeswax
She had to use lots of elbow grease along with that

I'd rather laze in an armchair with a large gin and tonic

threexnanny Wed 11-Mar-20 22:23:23

I'd rather laze in an armchair with a large gin and tonic
Shout at the TV and sound moronic

Perhaps I should join a discussion group

Bellanonna Thu 12-Mar-20 09:12:51

Perhaps I should join a discussion group
Or learn to fly and loop the loop

To learn a language would be good

crazyH Thu 12-Mar-20 09:59:08

To learn a language would be good
I can use words that are quite rude

crazyH Thu 12-Mar-20 10:01:10

My neighbours won't know what I'm saying

henetha Thu 12-Mar-20 11:04:20

My neighbours won't know what I'm saying
'Cos they're from Peru and always out playing.

I could try learning to swear in Swahili

Pantglas2 Thu 12-Mar-20 12:33:55

I could try learning to swear in Swahili
Just let my rude thoughts run freely

Who’d know what had a double meaning?

52bright Thu 12-Mar-20 14:13:54

Who'd know what had a double meaning?
I could smile and still be polite seeming

But surely such rudeness would come home to roost

threexnanny Thu 12-Mar-20 18:16:01

But surely rudeness would come home to roost
It really wouldn't give my ego a boost

Some people wouldn't want to know me

crazyH Thu 12-Mar-20 19:43:07

Some people wouldn't want to know me
Others will certainly want to show me.

The proper way to speak, the Queen's English

henetha Fri 13-Mar-20 10:49:34

The proper way to speak, the Queen's English
Is to speak clearly but not be standoffish.

It's all in the way we say our vowels

crazyH Fri 13-Mar-20 10:52:54

It's all in the way we say our vowels
And, there's a right/wrong way to hang your towels.

WOODMOUSE49 Fri 13-Mar-20 11:24:21

Another line please crazyH

henetha Sat 14-Mar-20 11:22:36

Shall I resume?

I try to be right but keep getting it wrong

WOODMOUSE49 Sat 14-Mar-20 12:13:55

Good idea henetha

I try to be right but keep getting it wrong
I'd sooner keep quiet and listen to the birdsong

The robin sings my favourite tune

crazyH Sat 14-Mar-20 12:22:17

Apologies ?

The robin sings my favourite tune
But sadly he flies away before noon.

So I turn on the crazy sounds of Radio 2

Pantglas2 Sat 14-Mar-20 18:59:14

So I turn on the crazy sounds of Radio 2
And let my mind wander as it is wont to do

I think long and hard about my next approach

threexnanny Sat 14-Mar-20 19:47:35

I think long and hard about my next approach
And while I am doing that I look for my brooch

It is my favourite - even if it's just bling

Bellanonna Sat 14-Mar-20 22:32:25

It is my favourite - even if it's just bling
It goes quite well with my favourite ring

Right now I want to see more sun
