Carrying on from 12bliss
A few reminders for new players.
We each add just one line in turn.

If I was a bird I'd give nesting a miss?
There's.much to be said for single bliss

One merry morning in May
My favourite aunt came to stay
She wore a red hat
With a purple cravat
And is in stripey jeggings today!

But it's her humour and wit that I love

But it's her humour and wit that I love
It gives my spirits a much needed shove

But it's her humour and wit that I love
It gives my spirits a much needed shove
Shove the G&T here

But it's her humour and wit that I love
It gives my spirits a much needed shove
Shove the G&T here
But aunt'll have a beer

But it`s her humour and wit that I love
It gives my spirits a much needed shove
Shove the G&T here
But aunt`ll have a beer
Singing "Oh for the wings of a dove"!

She hasn`t got the finest of voices,

She hasn't got the finest of voices
Which leaves us with very few choices

lovebeigecardigans1955 Fri 01-May-20 09:48:57

She hasn't the finest of voices
Which leaves us with very few choices
Plug cotton wool in our ears

henetha Fri 01-May-20 10:40:30

She hasn't the finest of voices
Which leaves us with very few choices
Plug cotton wool in our ears
Or drink a few beers

Juliet27 Fri 01-May-20 11:08:28

She hasn't the finest of voices
Which leaves us with very few choices
Plug cotton wool in our ears
Or drink a few beers
That should help to deaden the noises

I need something to motivate me

lizzypopbottle Fri 01-May-20 11:12:17

I need something to motivate me
But I don't want my neighbours to hate me

Juliet27 Sat 02-May-20 06:08:21

I need something to motivate me
But I don't want my neighbours to hate me
I could foster a cat

lizzypopbottle Sat 02-May-20 08:50:44

I need something to motivate me
But I don't want my neighbours to hate me
I could foster a car
We'd both sit on the mat

henetha Sat 02-May-20 10:34:48

I need something to motivate me
But I don't want my neighbours to hate me
I could foster a cat
We'd both sit on the mat
And have a nice game of shove-ha'penny

But the cat would soon go off to catch mice

lovebeigecardigans1955 Sat 02-May-20 13:54:25

But the cat would soon go off to catch mice
Then presenting them to me - his worst vice

Juliet27 Sat 02-May-20 13:56:38

But the cat would soon go off to catch mice
Then presenting them to me - his worst vice
I’ll stick to a dog

lizzypopbottle Sat 02-May-20 17:51:17

But the car would go off to catch nice
Then present them to me - his worst vice
I'll stick to a dog
And a chocolate log

Jangran99 Sat 02-May-20 18:37:49

But the cat would go off to catch mice
Then present them to me - his worst vice
I'll stick to a dog
And a chocolate log
That's my idea of sweet paradise

A grizzly old man with a beard

Juliet27 Sat 02-May-20 20:24:52

A grizzly old man with a beard
As a child was someone I feared

crazyH Sat 02-May-20 21:46:28

A grizzly old man with a beard
As a child was someone I feared
He tottered about on his stick

lizzypopbottle Sat 02-May-20 23:58:50

A grisly old man with a beard
As a child was someone I feared
He tottered about on his stick
And made me feel sick

henetha Sun 03-May-20 11:34:55

A grisly old man with a beard
As a child was someone I feared
He tottered about on his stick
And made me feel sick
When he died oh how everyone cheered

I hear he's now haunting the graveyard

Juliet27 Sun 03-May-20 12:27:37

I hear he's now haunting the graveyard
So watch out, and be on your guard

lizzypopbottle Sun 03-May-20 15:02:01

I hear he's now haunting the graveyard
So watch out and be on your guard
He jumps out at random

ExD Sun 03-May-20 15:15:58

With frightening abandon

lizzypopbottle Sun 03-May-20 15:21:42

I hear he's now haunting the graveyard
So watch out and be on your guard
He jumps out at random
With frightening abandon
And quoting at length from the bard!
