As you seem to have enjoyed the Limerick thread and produced some great ones, I thought it would be time for something a bit different which I found on www.kathimitchell.com/poemtypes.html which is full of good ideas. I thought we would start with this type and then move onto something harder.

ALPHABET:
Each line begins with the letters of the alphabet in order.

An example - A young girl was busy working on her project for school
But suddenly she had a question.
Could this be her lucky day?
Deciding to find out, she
Entered her backyard and
Found hundreds of green shamrocks waiting for her.

Zut alors ! I thought we were going to be saved by Daniel Craig. Where is he when you want him in a crisis?

Rosesarered what's all this about 'rescue yourselves men' I thought from the first line women were aboard, or are we going to be the bait ? grin

By the way Captain you promised us girls a man in Lycra swim shorts, are you denying us that pleasure ?

Zebadiah! Fetch me a clean truss and tell the crew to prepare for Chapter 2 of this maritime saga. Now go and prepare my morning bath under that palm tree, after which I will address the crew. Off you go!

NanKate there seemed to be both sexes aboard from reading the posts so made it 'men' but could be wrong.

For the lazy scabs.... nothing at all
