I had a long nap, and I just woke up
I'm glad I did because I have to study
even though I was on the phone with my buddy (geez) :o


I suck at this!:mad:

So glad I don't have to work today
But even that happiness leads to dismay
For now must I study for my last final
With no reason for delay :(

WOW Nittanyalum
Is way better than some
At this whole rhyming thing
...Had way to much tequila to drink

Went out and jumped on the trampoline
'Ran the streets' doing other things obscene
Sat down with some jazz in hand
Opened Greekchat to post my rant

Gettin kinda late to still be up
Had a little to much alcy in my cup
Now contemplating being a rapper
I think "dear god could i get frattier?

"Drinking late and Going streaking
"Watching sports and getting freaky?"
Then I think "No I'm not too bad you see
"I like to act and dance and sing...

"I toured with the broadway show CATS!
"And only later joined a frat
"I do Ballet, jazz, tap, and hip-hop too
"But dance is only my number two

"Singing is really where its at for me
"Acting is really my number three
"Though these things can be hard to say
"Because many people will think you're gay

"Its kinda sad when you think about it
"B/c in their mind they won't even allow it
"Its too efeminate for many guys
"But male dancers usually get the prize... :D"

In my drunkeness its been fun
To sit and ryhm with everyone
I've said my piece, [my diatribe]
So off Greekchat I think I'll sign...

socialite, I don't wanna hate
But good grief, man, you need a date.

IlovemyAKA 07-11-2008 11:18 AM

LMBO; you guys are great!
Great rhymes you did create

I've relocated since my last rhyme
Houston is now where I spend my time

It's not too bad; in fact, I like it here
It'd be better if my friends were near

but I'm visiting 2 in Dallas today
they're all just a short ride away

Well back to work, I'll is where I'll go now
Hope you all have more fun than the law will allow!

nittanyalum 07-11-2008 11:24 AM

LOL at socialite's drunk rhyme
Your headache will ease with the passage of time.

Your poem was long and very enlightening
I applaud your bravery, I'm sure it was frightening.

So, you toured around as Rum Tum Tugger
And now you are a Fratty Chugger?

Good for your house, they've got a ringer
Taking first in Greek Week requires good singers.

Now sleep, take your aspirin, drink plenty of water,
And remember when you drink like that, every girl is somebody's daughter!


(and LOL at "dear god could I get any frattier?" :p)

Thanks but I've got someone to date
Nittanyalum, I played the role of Skimbleshanks
The guy who played Rum Tug Tugger
Was somewhat of a stupid Mother-F***er:D

Thanks for the Advice
Next Time I'll think twice
About Drinking too much
Then Streaking and Stuff :p

(yeah... about that...)

nittanyalum 07-11-2008 12:40 PM

So now I have to rhyme with Skimbleshanks?
What is this, some kind of fraternity prank?

About the drinking and streaking,
need to do something 'bout that,
Still some leftover need to showboat
after your days as a railway cat?

;)

There's a whisper down the line at 11.39
When the Night Mail's ready to depart,
Saying `Skimble where is Skimble has he gone to hunt the thimble?
We must find him orthe train can't start.'
All the guards and all the porters and the stationmaster's daughters
They are searching high and low,
Saying `Skimble where is Skimble for unless he's very nimble
Then the Night Mail just can't go.'
At 11.42 then the signal's nearly due
And the passengers are frantic to a man -
Then Skimble will appear and he'll saunter to the rear:
He's been busy in the luggage van!
He gives one flash of his glass-green eyes
And the signal goes `All Clear!'
And we're off at last for the northern part
Of the Northern Hemisphere!

You may say that by and large it is Skimble who's in charge
Of the Sleeping Car Express.
From the driver and the guards to the bagmen playing cards
He will supervise them all, more or less.
Down the corridor he paces and examines all the faces
Of the travellers in the First and in the Third;
He establishes control by a regular patrol
And he'd know at once if anything occurred.
He will watch you without winking and he sees what you are thinking
And it's certain that he doesn't approve
Of hilarity and riot, so the folk are very quiet
When Skimble is about and on them ove.
You can play no pranks with Skimbleshanks!
He's a Cat that cannot be ignored;
So nothing goes wrong on the Northern Mail
When Skimbleshanks is aboard.

Oh it's very pleasant when you have found your little den
With your name written up on the door.
And the berth is very neat with a newly folded sheet
And there's not a speck of dust on the floor.
There is every sort of light - you can make it dark or bright;
There's a button that you turn to make a breeze.
There's a funny little basin you're supposed to wash your face in
And a crank to shut the window if you sneeye.
Then the guard looks in politely and will ask you very brightly
`do you like your morning tea weak or strong?'
But Skimble's just behind him andwas ready to remind him,
For Skimble won't let anything go wrong.
And when you creep into your cosy berth
And pull up the counterpane,
You are bound to admit that it's very nice
To know that your won't be bothered by mice -
You can leave all that to the Railway Cat,
The Cat of the Railway Train!
In the middle of the night he is always fresh and bright;
Every now and then he has a cup of tea
With perhaps a drop of Scotch while he's keeping on the watch,
Only stopping here and there to catch a flea.
You were fast asleep at Crewe and so you never knew
That he was walking up and down the station;
You were sleeping all the while he was busy at Carlisle,
Where he greets the stationmaster with elation.
But you saw him at Dumfries, where he summons the police
If there's anything they ought to know about:
when you get to Gallowgate there you do not have to wait -
For Skimbleshanks will help you to get out!
He gives you a wave of his long brown tail
Which says: `I'll see you again!
You'll meet without fail on the Midnight Mail
The Cat of the Railway Train.'

You will see Miss Nittany
how easy rhyming it can be?

(with a little help from T.S. Eliot)

Good Lord, you guys are funny,
now after reading all of this,
I'm going to drink some tea,
with lots and lots of honey.

Hearing this song each day for months
I've tryed so hard these lyrics to punt

Now, hearing this song is like torture to me
I cover my ears and "LA-LA-LA-LA" loudly I sing

And reading this, i've tryed not to pop
but :eek: "OH DEAR GOD TURN IT OFF!!!!!!!!" :eek:

(uuuh everytime i see these lyrics or hear this song all I can do is run the choreography in my head while thanking God I don't wear a spandex unitard to work anymore)

about this unitard
im gonna be a hater
was it for swimming like Phelps
or one like AC Slater?

or was it...
you know...the other kind?
either way im judging you
even a little bit, i hope you dont mind.

socialite 07-12-2008 03:30 AM

This unitard was painted
It helped me look like 'the part'
It covered my whole body
...something that ryhms with part

Dont judge; i got payed good money
To wear the stupid thing
I got to travel round the U.S.
To smile and dance and sing

(you judge and I didn't even mention the leg and arm warmers, wig, and 2 hours of makeup prep before each show... LOL)
