Poetry in Motion
This game went for years on another forum. It consists of poetry - anything from haiku, doggerel, limerics, to fullblown epics - which starts using THE LAST THREE WORDS of the previous poem.
To start you off - here's a poem from 2008. Come on down to my house and I'll let you play with anything your heart desires as long as you will stay. So down he went to her house, and played for hour on hour upon her son's computer, until she cut the power. |

Is the water drinkable?
My mother used to ask. To test the water of the town was dad's initial task. When moving to New Zealand he tasted H2O and if it didn't pass the test to another town we'd go. Now we have water filters to clean the local drink, so cruddy sludge and chemicals don't get into the sink. |

Into the sink go the dishes,
into their beds go the kids, into our bed goes my husband, I wouldn't be single for quids! For reading in bed is a pleasure, and double the pleasure for two, as we quote from our own ebook readers, I love my white Kobo, don't you? Last edited by Joybells; 08-26-2011 at 10:39 AM.

Kobo, don't you jump that fence
You really should not go I've never seen a mutt so dense He really takes the show I called him once to come on back He ignored my bloody calls But when he jumped that barbed wire fence He lost his bloody balls Last edited by wannabee; 08-26-2011 at 11:21 AM. Reason: Oops....took too long |

His bloody balls were flying
He'd juggled all the day his hands were tired, his nerves were wired, please take the pain away. His bleeding hands threw upward, the balls kept coming down, to juggle with three hand grenades was bound to gain renown. Last edited by Joybells; 08-26-2011 at 10:31 PM. Reason: to highlight |

To gain renown, that was his goal
he worked t'ward all year long. But when the year came to an end, Oblivion was strong. No one had memorized his face, no media told his story, So he decided there and then to write a tale so gory... Vampire and werewolf fans would line the streets to get his book. There was just one obstacle It only came for Nook! *Disclaimer - I don't have anything against Nook, I think they're cool devices, but I ran out of rhymes! |

"Not the best" he warned me
before I took it home, but what he didn't dare advise was that it's prone to roam! This wouldn't be an issue, I really wouldn't mind. The neighbors might have problems, though they're probably not resigned... To having wandering garden gnomes residing on their lawn, But I can't stand to keep him home, with all he's undergone! |

All he's undergone
and all he's overcome, I sigh to see him crying as - he longs to be at home. Your gnome is far from Gnomeland and lonely as can be, so go to town and buy another gnome, or two or three. |

Two or three live by the pond
Each sporting a painted beard A pointed cap and curly shoes They really look quite weird Older than I, those plaster beings have graced this world I know From grand da's garden and memories dear His garden continues to grow |

continues to grow and thrive it does,
that strange blue plant. It smells quite sweet, its textures rough, its fruit has skin that'd oddly tough, the flesh is satisfying enough but though it grows and grows and grows, warm to it I can't. |

It, I can't speak of it
I want nothing to do with it. The shape of it, the make of it, the sake of it. I dwell on it, the smell of it, to hell with it. |

Hell with it, and hell without,
Addiction is a bind. The cure for ebook reading lies all within the mind. |
