I’m starting a new thread about poetry. I’ve taken Gemini1789 rhyme idea which I liked.

Each post will be to create 3 lines of poetry. The first line you will be given.

My starter:
- Midway upon the journey of my life
- I met my lover and became a wife
- Many hours were spent out walking
(the first two lines rhyme then importantly the last doesn't)

So the next person - Take the last line and writes two more
- Many hours were spent out walking
- Stopping for lunches and doing nothing but talking
- Days turned into years

Next person takes that last line and writes two more:
- Days turned into years
- And my laughter turned to tears
- We had to say “Goodbye”

RULES
Take the last person's last line
You write another line to rhyme
Then write another line that does not rhyme.
No rhythm necessary.
- 3 lines in total are needed before you post.

The game now starts with the next person taking that last line: "We had to say, "Goodbye"

Some nuts and crisps will be tasty
And straws made of cheesy pastry

What about a bit of champers?

Some nuts and crisps will be tasty
But please, I don't want a pasty.

What about tortillas and sausage rolls?

On the other hand I like some wine
But a vodka will do just fine

Some nuts and crisps will be tasty

Having fun ought to carry a health warning!
But we don't ever worry until the next morning

Let's invite the doctor and follow his lead

Beware! It will loosen our tongues
And smoking - what it does to our lungs

Having fun ought to carry a health warning!

I hope they will bring the wine
We need liquid to help us dine

Beware! It will loosen our tongues

There'll be plenty of food to go round
But it will all be eaten, I'll be bound

I hope they will bring the wine

Must make sure there's enough sprouts for all
But Uncle Eric loves a minced-beef ball

A little sit is all I need
Any longer, I’ll run to seed

Too many things on my ToDo list
So I'll not bother, and just dance The Twist.

Singing and dancing cheer me up

Found the lights, hidden under the stairs
In fact, that’s good, I’ve found two pairs

Lights Ok but they are a mess
My fault, I must confess

Put away last year in a hurry

Try them, was DH's suggestion

Found the lights, hidden under the stairs
Covered with bits of fluff and cat hairs

Will they be working? That is the question
