drom, serve us up some new words to chew on.
Sorry about that, Firefly:
Frankfurters
Manx cat
List of French subjunctives
Pearl eyes
Those frankfurters sat in my stomach like lead
The manx cat who ate one wound up dead
I numbly repeated a list of French subjectives
Though the cat's dead pearl eyes called out for invectives
floor fan
Tarot cards
flamenco music
mentholated cigarettes
floor fan
Tarot cards
flamenco music
mentholated cigarettes
Having turned on the floor fan
I laid out the Tarot cards in a sure fan.
The Hanged Man danced to flamenco music all by himself.
I reached for the mentholated cigarettes on the mantleshelf.
mango shake
flipflops
sand
large Dalmatian
The Cabana Boy brought a delicious mango shake
I kicked off my flipflops and gave myself to the sun to bake
Surrounded by blue sky, green sea and pure white sand
This lovely dream lasted until my large Dalmatian licked my hand
hair dryer
chocolate covered mints
Chinese checkers
beige overcoat
A hair dryer will defrost most anything at all
Even chocolate covered mints iced up in a ball.
Chinese checkers are fun on a cold, blizzardy day
Hang up your beige overcoat, sit down and we'll play.
Bunch of bananas
Bucket of nails
Crossword puzzle
Silk stockings
I lived on a bunch of bananas for almost a week
And my bucket of nails wound up in the creek
But my crossword puzzle saved this vacation from doom
Because that Silk Stockings Spa was as lively as a tomb
red woolen mittens
looseleaf notebook
Mexican poncho
canned cat food
red woolen mittens
looseleaf notebook
Mexican poncho
canned cat food
I so don't need red woollen mittens in tropical heat;
I have a looseleaf notebook full of foods I'm forbidden to eat.
I gave my Mexican poncho to a boy on a bike,
And I don't have to eat canned cat food if I don't like.
crab
jester's cap
Parker pen
Oil of frankincense
I loved feasting on that delicious crab cake
And, with my jester's cap, I looked quite the rake
I jotted down ditties with my new Parker pen
While oil of frankincese perfumed my den
yesterday's N.Y. Times
swiss cheese
magnifying glass
pitcher of Sangria
The print in yesterday's N.Y. Times was really quite blurry
So I wolfed down my Reuben with Swiss cheese in a hurry
To find my magnifyng glass to make the print clear
Before the pitcher of sangria I indulged in made me fall on my ear.
Butter pecan icecream
Fluffy blanket
Remote control
Cowboy boots
With my pecan ice cream I jumped into bed
Pulled up my fluffy blanket, got a pillow for my head
My remote control through the t.v. channels sped
And the book, "Cowboy Boots" was waiting to be read
meatball pizza
fuzzy slippers
broken umbrella
pocket calculator
The meatball pizza arrived with the delivery boy
I nearly tripped in my fuzzy slippers jumping with joy
The poor kid stood in the rain with a broken umbrella
Since his pocket calculator was broken, I over-tipped - Happy Fella!
Fleabitten dog
Shower curtain
Fingernail file
Cookie jar
I heard my Flea-bitten dog rumble in tears,
so i clutched the shower curtain with great fears,
but i tripped over a fingernail file,
and dropped the coockie jar down the pile.
grandfather clock
cork
piano
remote control
The grandfather clock chimed exactly at nine
The cork was popped and I poured the wine
The piano was ready for the guests to play
And my remote control robot would serve paté
missing shoe
oatmeal cookies
computer desk
ceiling fan
My missing shoe turned up, together with a sock
And two raisin oatmeal cookies, hard as a rock
under my computer desk while playing at A2K,
with a couple of scribbled notes that the ceiling fan blew astray.
Dripping faucet
Kleenex box
Hair brush
Scotch tape
Like a dripping faucet, my nose ran and was sore
The Kleenex box was empty and I needed some more
Got dressed and used a hair brush, then headed for the store
Seeking Scotch tape and several packs of tissues--at least four
Red grapes
ATM card
beige carpet
shopping bags
Purple and red grapes are now adorning
The crystal bowl my ATM card purchased this morning.
My Visa took care of the beige carpet just laid,
But my shopping bags' goodies -alas, are unpaid.
Joan Baez CD
Ripe mango
Cocktail shaker
Fingernail polish
Popped in a Joan Baez CD, and settled in my chair
Bit into a ripe mango which tasted only fair
Poured a drink from the cocktail shaker with considerable flair
And looked for my fingernail polish before I did my hair
A dozen roses
drain cleaner
roll of Lifesavers
running shoes
A dozen roses might brighten a gal's demeanor
When her sink's emitting odious fumes from drain cleaner
and her roll of Lifesavers has been swallowed by her pet
who has also chewed her running shoes and must go to the Vet.
Love letters
Rusty gate
Corn on the cob
Chanel No. 5
Reading those love letters brought a tear to my eye
Like a rusty gate, I gave out with a sigh
We ate corn on the cob, and were thrilled to be alive
The night you proposed and I wore Chanel No. 5
flowered shawl
anti-virus software
pink sandals
Lebanese lamb kabobs
