The "That's the way" quatrain game

 
 
Reply Sun 20 Jun, 2004 04:04 am
This one is pretty easy. Write a quatrain where each line begins with "That's the way"". All four lines should rhyme with each other. Then use the noun from the last line to start a new rhyme. Example:

That's the way the cookie crumbles
That's the way the old man mumbles
That's the way the baby stumbles
That's the way the bee bumbles

So the next rhyme would have to say something different about a bee in the first line.

That's the way mosquitos love to bite;
That's the way a thief comes in the night;
That's the way potatoes die of blight;
That's the way an albatross takes flight.
