Linericks

John was a great songwriter // and in Flor'da it's brighter (Dad )

Yep, I’m in Flor’da, the heat’s melting my brain (Allan Charles 🐾 )

Though, for once, the weather is cool (Allan Charles 🐾 )

So I may change from cotton to wool (deemac )

I’m shivering and freezing // but at least not pollen-wheezing (Allan Charles 🐾 )

And with my blankets, I’ll still wake up in drool (Allan Charles 🐾 )

Wreck the mall this Christmas season (Dad )

Smash things up without a reason (Dad )

Come spend with great folly / Last year's hard-earned lolly (deemac )

And then spend rest of winter just freezin' (Roscoe )

Or chill with me in sunny Thailand, (DS )

Go skiing in the Scottish Highlands (deemac )

Fly to Switzerland Friday / Learn to yodel like Heidi (deemac )

Or bask on the beaches in New Zealand (Dad )

D'ya prefer North or South Island? (deemac )

While yodelling one day in the shower (deemac )

the cat, from the noise, did cower. (Dad )

with a yowling protest // I shrank back, underdressed (Rhyssa )

Cat's lucky I wasn't yodelling full power. (deemac )

Off-Topic - Holiday's flying past far too quickly, it'll be Christmas soon and I'll be back home in the cold! This weary old traveller's battery's gone flat, (DS )

Nearly time to hang up his hat (deemac )

I soon turn sixty-five / Thank God I'm still alive (Dad )

A Linerick line-a-day helps with that! (deemac )

With sixty-fifth birthday come Medicare (Dad )

and buy more insurance so you have insurance to spare (Dad )

And can take up sky diving /or perhaps racecar driving (Roscoe )

and reach sixty-six in a motor-chair (Rhyssa )

Next up on my bucket list (deemac )

Is to learn how to dance the twist, (DS )

I threw out my back / thanks to the talent I lack (Dad )

I'd prepaid for the course so was pissed (Roscoe )

The next dance I tried was the tango (deemac )

Looked like I'd eaten a diseased mango. (Dad )

Argentine 'twas not // I moved like a 'bot, (DS )

that was rusty and needing some drain-o (Rhyssa )

So the merengue is the next one I'll try. (Dad )

Nothing could possibly go wrong, said I. (Dad )

And that's how I met / My um, chiropractor, Annette (deemac )

Who always cracks me up, I won't lie (Roscoe )

Christmastime is finally here! (Dad )

May Michael Buble' soon disappear (Dad )

the air's filled with carols // they've turned me quite feral (Rhyssa )

Mom's bought Dad this present, I hear... ... https://youtube.com/shorts/L256hI4oiTQ?si=V8pi9PbcWUddctVl (deemac )

OT: Grrrrrrrrrrrr (Dad )

As 2024 comes to an end (Dad )

Another year younger, I intend. (Dad )

To right all that's wrong // With Mariah's old song (Soldier_Mike )

Best wishes to all our Linerickers we send! (deemac )

We're back! With resolutions all set, (DS )

To make our 20th the very best year yet (deemac )

We often will post. /. On our laurels we shan't coast (Dad )

And perhaps our 50th rating we'll get! (deemac )

OT: (Dad )

I know that I have reviewed this (Dad )

Hugs! (If you don't mind I won't send a kiss) (deemac )

I'll even the score // and wish to do more (Rhyssa )

Thanks to Rhyssa and all, I'm in bliss! (deemac )

I find that by writing "Linericks (Dad )

my blocked up words are quickly fixed (Rhyssa )

And I find rhymes galore / For lines 3 and 4 (deemac )

with my metaphors thoroughly mixed (Rhyssa )

Fifty ratings and now another thrill (deemac )

We've just been nominated for a Quill! (deemac )

being goofy is tough. / I have to think and stuff. (Dad )

I will do it, yes, I will. (Dad )

These cold winters! I can no longer endure 'em! (Dad )

I've had it! I'm moving south to Durham! (Dad )

Is life really that great / in so-called tar heel state? (assuming Durham NC) (Roscoe )

If not, maybe Mom's presence will cure 'em? (Dad )

If it's true that life's best things are free (deemac )

And our grandkids are the best that we'll see (Dad )

Grandkids cost a mint // and they've left me pure skint (Rhyssa )

Thank Goodness I've only got three! (deemac )

They're called Curly, Larry and Moe (deemac )

Our three puppy-dogs on the go (Rhyssa )

They've made a mess of their food. // And on the carpet they've pooed. (Dad )

Much the same as their namesakes you know (Roscoe )

The thing that annoys me the most (deemac )

Is when that mutt o' mine starts licking my toast (deemac )

He slobbers on the jam // or he eats all the ham (Dad )

and goes crazy when I add a slice of roast. (Dad )

She said, "He had a lot of nerve!" (Dad )

'Driving that fast around that sharp curve!" (Dad )

Pseudo force centrifugal/ gives your innards a shoogle (Roscoe )

And if yer laces git fankled, ye'll swerve (deemac )

As Roscoe's fourth and fifth laws of motion observe. (deemac )

OT: (Roscoe )

A Gypsy told my fortune last night (Dad )

which gave me a terrible fright (Rhyssa )

With her brows in an arch / She cried, Beware Ides of March! (deemac )

So I'll skip the Caesar salad that night. (deemac )

OT:. (Dad )

Dee's line was the cause of a big laugh! (Dad )

I feel sad though on Caesar's behalf (Roscoe )

It was Caesar's last wish / to be named salad dish (Roscoe )

"Lettuce pray," said his epitaph. (deemac )

While out and riding my bike (Dad )

In the park, saw a duck on a hike (Dad )

As I laughed at her waddle / I fell off my saddle (deemac )

I've now changed from a bike to a trike ☹️ (Roscoe )
