Lets make a rhyme thread...

[ggrtrhhrtgg]

I had an interesting experience at the Dead show at Darien Lake

I had the opportunity to go with a friend that will forsake

the night really messed with my mind

for I thought of this person like no other kind

during the show there was a re-occuring theme

they would tease the crowd with darstar-sending us off in a dream

what is the definition of Darstar? a navigational device?

a star to show the sailors what direction they shall follow?

not sure if I interpret right, maybe that is not precise?

But, first time I heard that song, that is what I did wallow

I remember, swinging a light high in the air for those off to another place

it created a ring of colours like some craft from outerspace

it suceeded in returning those lost items

it was quite ironic when they returned, and gave that knowing nod

it gave a feeling of understanding like giving my soul a handful of vitamins

I felt a connection to the music, I didn't feel like a fraud

back to Buffalo, a certain individual "lighted my way"

for at one time I was momentarily lost

she held a banana high in the air, which i realized made my day

this, I remember thinking this person, I want to accost

everytime they played that song, my heart would skip a beat

I was sincerely puzzled by what I was feeling as I looked in her direction

I was reminded of the fact I still remembered when we did first meet

was I being exposed to another dose of love's infection?

as I reflect, I wish I could back to that night on the grass

and in hindsight, maybe it was a situation that should be void of procrast-

cus tis' the first time I associated an individual with this band

somethings are just incredible moments, all does not last, that I understand

but, I still sit here, in isolation and ponder what I dread

but, for some silly reason, I believe because I believe in the Dead

thankyou for listening to my drunken/stoned confession I have bled

to fall on deaf ears, for this person will not have read--

and I am cool with that, for this isn't an act of conciliation

it is just something that I know needed to be said.

I cannot believe I am posting this and admitting my affiliation

ah fu©k it, just another skin I shall shed

and good night to all you "usual suspects" with all my love--for I'm off to bed!

[badams]

eggs

[StoneMtn]

eggs

beget creatures in the sea and on land,

But have nothing to do with any jamband

Of which I'm aware from now or from then,

But maybe this posting is truly Zen?

I look to badams, the Zen guru in question,

To clarify, expound or make a suggestion

Of his reason for making such a cryptic post.

Was this merely an attempt to see whether most,

Or any of us, could maintain this rhyme,

In spite of one-word posts that do take some time

To fit into context and keep this rhyme going?

As you can see, this rhyme is not slowing

And in fact allow me to even suggest

This thread will live on, as it is the best.

So badams I leave it to you to expound

Upon why it is that you seem to have found

It necessary to add your post about "eggs".

By doing so, I think, the question it begs

Is you intended to stump us and make this thread die,

But I will not so presume until I hear your reply...

[ggrtrhhrtgg]

don't worry, once again back from the Dead

this is one hell of a bionic thread

one that endured for two weeks

just to listen to a bunch of fu©king freaks

anyhow, I hope we can get some rhymin tonight

and take this thread to an unchartered height

[bokonon]

i wish i may, i wish i might

have this wish i wish tonight

that the poem we write

will never end

upon my cohorts i can depend

to ensure this poem has no end

may we always have a rhyme to lend

at the close of others' poems apend

our own verbose words

from us eclectic nerds

[ggrtrhhrtgg]

well I just read a thread about messy mates

and I sit and ponder how I can relate

but, I must confess, I do not like to clean

I realize that my roomies are not very keen

of my habits to leave stuff all over the place

so, now I must leave you and tidy to save face

so if you read this Sweet Meg don't hate me cause I'm a slob

for as you know I am a man, and cleaning up is a woman's job. ::

[guigsy]

holy fu©k.

number 2, duck!

[bokonon]

well it is now no secret why you're alone

home at night with a bone

no one calling on the phone

from what you have just shown

maybe i should have known

that your mind is blown

[ggrtrhhrtgg]

have to admit I don't like the tone

but, I am not here to piss and moan

its too bad you don't have a clone

to clean up while I tend the thrown

::

[bokonon]

you should learn to spell

or maybe go to hell

for i cannot stand

communication that's bland

coming from a man!

(thrown-past tense of the verb to throw, throne- the spot where my ass is found, which incidentally should be where your lips are found :: )

[ggrtrhhrtgg]

don't be absurd

it was a play on a word

although I guess it would not occur

for you don't understand my humour

and as far as kissing a girl's ass

that is not a situation I would pass

for a like to endulge in that trade

cause I am definitely not afraid

I know right now you probably think I'm a schmuck

but, I'll let you in on a little secret---I'm sarcastic as fu©k :: ::

[StoneMtn]

What's a sabbatical-chasm?

The thought of it makes my gut spasm!

nero's taking a break,

For goodness sake,

And will indefinitely no longer pizzazz 'em.

They cancelled their west coast tour dates.

The disappointment this news creates

Is too much to bear,

As we truly care,

So, for nero we sits and we waits.

How long will the chasm go on?

I refuse to believe that they're gone.

This country will miss

Their musical bliss

From Labrador to the Yukon.

We must all influence their plight

Through postings and emails we write

So they know that we care,

And we're all still 'out there',

Waiting for them to reunite.

[badams]

eggs are good

am I right?

[StoneMtn]

badams is rhyming now - outta sight!

Nice to have you on board

As you help rhyme toward

A master poem written day and night.

[ggrtrhhrtgg]

yo, yo, yo, that would be outta sight

the more poetry to satisfy my literary appetite

that for Stone Mountain would reduce the weight

and we could help him to exonerate--

by pronouncing our abilities to think and create

and dilute the movement towards apparent signs of assimilate

so come on folks cut out the blibber-blabber

strike your keys and lets get at 'er

[StoneMtn]

Here, in my province West Coastal,

I read of a guy going postal.

Is he pessimistic,

Or just narcissistic?

I pity him; as I think most'll.

He thinks he is well educated.

However it is obfuscated

As to why this would be,

But he is smarter than me,

Or so he said when us he berated.

Ten years of going to shows;

A small start, but as anyone knows

Only a start

But he does his part

To keep going and his knowledge grows.

One should never presume on this board

To know more than the rest of the horde.

I would suggest

That of all the rest

Many know more and are bored

With posts that are really so trivial.

We'd all rather be more convivial.

This online space

Should be a place

For discussion; not to be chivy-al.

I feel badly for this postal feller.

His anger - Will anything quell 'er?

I really hope so

But what do I know?

I am just a simple cave-dweller.

[bokonon]

beautiful!

but what does chivy mean? i only know chevy.

i can't rhyme today, i've tried three different things and i can't do it. maybe i should get back to actually doing school sh!t.

[StoneMtn]

Well, I'll depart from the rhyme just this once to cut and paste a definition:

chiv·vy or chiv·y

v. chiv·vied, or chiv·ied chiv·vy·ing, or chiv·y·ing chiv·vies or chiv·ies

v. tr.

To vex or harass with petty attacks

[bokonon]

so i go away for one night

i return to such a fright

the poem is gone, it isn't right

it wasn't anywhere in sight

this situation could really bite

but i found it, i knew i might

[StoneMtn]

Bokonon's right re this thread.

I'd hate to ever think it were dead.

We must all strive

To keep it alive

Whatever else on this board might get said.

We must stay a positive force

On this board and maintain our course

Of creating a piece

In which we release

Our good thoughts 'til our throats are hoarse.

[bokonon]

i got a bunny

he is cute and funny

he never pees on me

just on ricky

[StoneMtn]

Congratulations on your new bunny.

Great pets; worth ten times the money!

Good luck in your quest,

To find the best,

Name for him (which doesn't sound funny).

[bokonon]

my bunny cost five dollars!

that's less than some collars

and he came with a house

but not with a mouse

[guigsy]

we had a bunny once

but i cant remember his name

when he "fell down the stairs"

i made my sister take the blame.

[StoneMtn]

Blaming your sister was brilliant!

But I'd have thought bunny's more resilient

Than to die from a fall

Down the stairs in the hall

Did you skip a part of this story that's salient?
