Carrying on ,

I think I'll sail off in a boat
Provided the old yacht will float
So it's sink or swim
I'm off on a whim
To visit that lovely French Cote

The far mountains are capped with snow,
And down here in frosty Glasgow
It's silent and still

Witzend Sun 24-Jan-21 17:14:01

But up on the hill
The sunset will make a nice glow.

Mollygo Sun 24-Jan-21 17:38:08

The far mountains are white-capped with snow
And down here in frosty Glasgow
On the pavements, black ice

Mollygo, just one line each, unless it’s the last line and then you start a new. Limerick, but we’ll carry on

The far mountains are white-capped with snow
And down here in frosty Glasgow
On the pavements, black ice
With death we do dice

Sorry, crossed posts. When I started copying, Glasgow was the last line. Some of you must be quicker typists!??

The far mountains are white-capped with snow
And down here in frosty Glasgow
On the pavements, black ice
With death we do dice
Thank God we don`t have far to go

I`m not very good on my feet

crazyH Sun 24-Jan-21 22:13:59

I’m not very good on my feet
Yesterday I fell off my seat

Mollygo Sun 24-Jan-21 22:24:53

I’m not very good on my feet
Yesterday I fell off my seat
And the pain in my rear

I’m not very good on my feet
Yesterday I fell off my seat
And the pain in my rear
Made me feel quite queer

I’m not very good on my feet
Yesterday I fell off my seat
The pain in my rear
Made me feel quite queer
So I think that I need a treat

I’ll start with a big chocolate bar

Badgranma Mon 25-Jan-21 00:14:11

I’ll start with a big chocolate bar
Then the sweeties I hid in my car

Jangran99 Mon 25-Jan-21 00:17:43

I’ll start with a big chocolate bar
Then sweeties I hid in my car
A gin to follow

FarNorth Mon 25-Jan-21 04:41:41

I’ll start with a big chocolate bar
Then sweeties I hid in my car
A gin to follow
Easy to swallow

nanna8 Mon 25-Jan-21 07:43:59

I’ll start with a big chocolate bar
Then sweeties I hid in my car
A gin to follow
Easy to swallow
My dieting didn’t get far

One day I will swim in the sea

Mollygo Mon 25-Jan-21 08:47:59

One day I will swim in the sea
But I’m not certain when that will be

henetha Mon 25-Jan-21 10:56:31

One day I will swim in the sea
But I’m not certain when that will be
My swimsuit won't fit

lovebeigecardigans1955 Mon 25-Jan-21 11:35:02

One day I will swim in the sea
But I'm not certain when that will be
My swimsuit won't fit
I fear it may split

Jangran99 Mon 25-Jan-21 13:46:06

One day I will swim in the sea
I'm not certain when that will be
My swimsuit won't fit
I fear it may split
And skinny dipping’s not for me.

But I’d love to sit on a beach

Mollygo Mon 25-Jan-21 13:55:16

But I’d love to sit on the beach
With a flask of hot tea within reach

Jangran99 Mon 25-Jan-21 17:08:03

This is the very strict thread
Mind if we drop hot to make 8 syllables ?

But I’d love to sit on the beach
With a flask of tea within reach
Wiggling toes in sand

Ashcombe Mon 25-Jan-21 17:40:13

But I’d love to sit on the beach
With a flask of tea within reach
Wiggling toes in sand
That would be just grand

Mollygo Mon 25-Jan-21 18:26:11

Strict rules were a mys’try to me
But on the first page I can see
The rule that you state
8, 8, 5, 5, 8
Now my lines will be err-or free! ??

Mollygo Mon 25-Jan-21 18:29:38

But I’d love to sit on the beach
A flask of hot tea within reach
Wiggling toes in sand
That would be just grand
And thanks for the lesson you teach!

The photos I take on my phone

New start line Mollygo ?
