Josh Paxton Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Just because I thought a thread for these would be fun. Youve probably heard the standard ones When you cant even feel Youve been bit by an eel, Thats a moray. Not some moral or code Youve picked up on lifes road, Thats a more. When two patterns combine In a way serpentine, Thats a moire. and so on. A while ago I got into a FaceBook war with these. A friend started it by posting something like, When your horse hasnt eaten enough hay, and you have to give him more, thats some more hay! I busted his chops for blowing the meter and rhyme scheme, and corrected it to: When youve fed your old horse But he wants more, of course Thats some more hay. And then the battle was on, with some strong entries all around. My personal best included: When a windows so tall It takes up the whole wall, Thats a doorway. When a George says his name Like they say it in Spain, Thats a Jorge. When your sentences end Like Canadian friends, Thats-a more Eh? But when Fonzies pet phrase Gets repeated for days, Thats-a more Aaaayyyy!!! When your wifes new best friend And her husband join in, Thats a four-way. When the people are floored By a coastlines cool fjords, Thats-a Norway. When the drummers so loud That he deafens the crowd, Stanton Moore, eh? A friend came up with this gem: When you play Whatd I Say, And again Whatd I Say, Thats-a more Ray. Then just today, in the holiday spirit, my girl and I jointly penned: When a jazz-singing Jew Writes a Christmas song too, Thats Mel Torme. But my real reason for starting this thread is that since I had the form stuck in my mind, I just came up with this one and only you guys will appreciate it: When a new Kurzweil board Finally ranks with a Nord, Thats a Forte. Whew! Okay, glad I got that off my chest. So, you got some? Lets hear em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threadslayer Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 For the SoCal set: When the name is Jackson Who can catch balls and run That's Adoree' or south of the border if playing your Hohner Just gives you a boner That's a Jorge Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. -Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xKnuckles Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 HA ha Funkey Stuff - brilliant thread! I LOVE your rhymes.... I feel inspired to add a couple of my own, describing a recent gig: When your drummer does trip On your cable and flips, Clear the floor, eh. And your axeman gets high On his decibel ride, Ears are sore, eh? And the punters' request Is a song you detest No encore, eh..... And your new keys aren't quite What you hoped that they might Get on Ebay .... "Turn your fingers into a dust rag and keep them keys clean!"

Tom Williams Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 +1 on the Forte setup! I always liked: When the eel bites your thigh like a big piece of pie... --- When the bandleader sings with the Buffalo Springs, that's a Furay --- When Ray Manzarek's keys include bass, plus Vox cheese, that's a Door Play --- The following may push the political talk limitation. If so, I will apologize and accept appropriate chastisement: When the glo - bal war - ming Makes the bank go "ka - ching!" That's Al Gore, eh? --- When the android is bad, but he shares the same dad, that one's Lore -- 'kay? --- When the lovers join hearts before lovemaking starts, that's good foreplay --- And one that describes this posting, perhaps: When the thread gets so old that the bad posts are bold, that's a bore, eh? -Tom Williams {First Name} {at} AirNetworking {dot} com PC4-7, PX-5S, AX-Edge, PC361 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan_evett Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Yet another eel one: When an eel green as grass bites you right on the ass , that's a moray.
