another attempt to pass time, in this thread we post in rhyme!
 

in a dr. seuss mood? put it all here
why not a new thread in time for the new year?

fellow GCers, trolls and those who lurk
pass some more time on the greekchat network

follow the rules, only post in rhyme
keep it going and have a good time!

Posting in rhyme? Well that's a lark!
I'm not very good, just a shot in the dark.

How many lines should I write, tld?
Any specific topic? What should it be?

Well I've given a try. That's all I can do.
Can't ask for more from a gal with more than one loose screw! :D

Oh, THIS is what I need, something else to distract
Thanks, tld221, now my brain is wracked!

The goal for '08 was to go to bed on time,
but instead, here I am, devising some rhyme.

Insomnia has some benefits, though, I guess,
when I post late I get the last word (which I like, I confess).

It'd been a tough year when I found GC in the fall,
it's sure brightened my days chatting "virtually" with you all.

Tld, this may become my very favorite thread,
but I'm done rhyming for now, I AM going to bed! :)

Posting in rhyme is hard to do.
Is it okay if we try some Haiku?

Posting in rhyme? Gee, that's something new.
I'm already blank. Sadly, it's true.
but leaving two lines is not nearly enough
I thought this'd be easy, but it's rather tough

The decorations are down,
the house looks so bland.
So start the long months of winter,
wish I had my toes in the sand!

I'm finally home from my holiday,
If only United hadn't caused a delay!

I slowly did all the wash and put up the clothes,
but this cold I have is doing numbers with my throat and my nose.

I had to go shopping for food and for drink,
and just my luck, the commissary was filled to the brink.

And now, I'm home and bored as you can see,
because I'm rhyming about my bland day in a thread on GC.

SoCalGirl, just try to rhyme
You'll pick up the rhythm in no time.

Half days at work are pretty cool
Much like a 2 hour delay from school.

Chicago peeps, I need some aid.
Where's a fun place to go where I can get





























drunk? :p

I too am bored; this thread is fun
I'll check it 'til the day is done

GCers here are funny and smart
to keep it going, I'll do my part

I can't believe we've reached 08!
the 15th is coming; I can't wait!

a centennial for an illustrious sisterhood
100 years old never looked so good!

this isn't that forum; i know. i digress
but excitement propels me to share with the rest!

i'm started to get the hang; i've written plenty now
should I depart with a curtsey or bow? :D

this thread is gonna kick major @ss
10 posts in, i think this one will last

SoCalGirl, go ahead and haiku
5-7-5 is the thing to do!

however, if you want to throw us off track
typical of GC, be sure to bring the rhymes back!

hell, id be impressed with iambic pentameter
or how bout Earpisms laced in Absolut licquer?

2008 will marks a momentous year
congrats ilovemyAKA, but wait till 2022 gets here!

but what's up with me? nada, a night in,
ate chips and dip, sour cream and onion.

i could do this every day, all night
but Leno's on, how will he do with jokes he had to write?

*ooh so far, he's trying too hard
writers, come back with your cue cards!

nittanyalum, I'm slightly offended
I thought I had your favorite thread, I can't comprehend it
I should be going to bed now, it's getting quite late
instead I'll talk to my friends about my wonderful date

I cannot believe
I am working til this eve
Sleep, I must retrieve

cuteASAbug, I still ADORE your thread, never fear!
But this is just a fun new thing for this year. :)

A wonderful date?!? Good for you!
He better be a stand-up-kinda-mister
'Cuz knowing AlphaFrog and 33girl,
He won't want to answer to your ASA sisters! ;)

Oh, what to make for the evening meal?
I really don't want to cook.
Looks like a good evening for hubby to choose
And get dinner out of the phone book! :)

I have 3 more days to intern for free
The hospital gets labor pro bono from me
I hope it looks good on my resume
If not, I think I'll quit today

This day's going way to slow
To the mall I want to go
To hit the sales, and pick up feed
For my fat cat which he does need

This rhyming thing is kinda hard,
I don't wanna look like a re-tard,
If I fail I might just be scared,
Or maybe I will just fart (lol) j/k

~~~~~~~~~~
I want to go on a hot date,
I wish he were a nice mate,
I promise not to make a mistake,
I will have a good time at any rate.

What's this thread doing on page 2?
Oh no, my friends, that will not do!

To the top, I'll give it a bump
So it doesn't die out here in the old thread lump.

I've nothing really to say, just wanted to rhyme
It may be just for me, but hey, I had a good time!

I'm all bored here so I'm playing Snood
and trying to take my mind off of food.

I'm buying a ticket to VA for V day
One of my sisters just met Bobby Flay.

I want a pair of new Coach shoes
But will probably just end up spending that money on booze.

way to go nitta-yay, a bump to the top!
I have a story; it involves a cop

should I tell it here? yes? maybe not
law enforcement stories are not what's hot

what should I say then to keep this thread alive?
can't let it meet an untimely demise

I need some help guys; someone jump in
preferrably, some hot young men

oh, what does that matter when they can't be seen?
although that may not be such a bad thing

especially if they're behind the screen doing something obscene
we've heard of the wackos; you guys know what I mean

nope, just forget it; GCers don't behave that way
lol-don't listen to me; who cares what I say?

I'm tired of rhyming now; it gets old fast
It's 10:35, time to lay on my
























bed and get a good night's sleep
not another word outta me; not even a peep:rolleyes:

No one has posted since late last night
Did everyone wait until it got light?

I sit here with my coffee and kitty
Cuz outside it's nothing but rainy and gritty

Sixty degrees outside, tis nothing but a shame
It's winter, god dammit, no snow, oh so lame!

Can't wait to read the next couple of lines
Cuz everything Greeks do is fabulous and fine!

Thank you, Ree- a *bump* for the new day
I keep jumping in with nothing to say

Where is our OP to help us out
Will she come if I jump, stomp and shout?

Don't let the thread die; I like to see rhymes
they make me laugh in boring times

It's 1.9.08; I'll dazzle in pink and green
Classy AKA lady hitting the scene

i've been sick as a dog for 2 days
i thought the tingly feelings were a phase
but the coughing got worse
and my throat really hurts
my temperature is up
there's hot tea in my cup
and i stayed in my bed
watched CNN to see who's ahead
who did New Hampshire vote for?
Clinton in blue, Romney in red!

sigh, it is wednesday
in my bed here i lay
this sickness cannot stay
cause my monthly rent it does not pay

and in all of this my mommy didnt call
when you move out, no one cares at all?

aw, tld had been sick and under the weather
I hope that tomorrow she feels much better

It's no fun to have coughs, sneezes, and aches
Mommy, go help her for goodness sakes!

You GC fam has not forgotten about you
The best cure for that is TheraFlu

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/j...t/theraflu.jpg

relax, let it work while you sit on your rump
meanwhile as I help you, this thread gets a *bump*!:D

Aw, tld, we care, yes, we do!
We're here to say "bless you" when you go "ah-choo".

Don't forget GC's here
whether you're well or sick
'Cause you know who your friends are
now family, eh, them you can't pick.


:) feel better! (put on a sweater! had to make it a rhyme! oh, I'm just killin' time)

My coworker just got canned
The Style Council is my favorite band.

Girls nite out is coming soon,
We're going to dance and howl at the moon.

I'm breaking out like I'm sixteen
At my old age, this is obscene.

I can't believe how much time I've wasted today on GC!
But I got to walk down memory lane with my old flame Al B.

I was uber-productive yesterday, so maybe I'm burned out
If I didn't have something fun to do, I'd prolly just sit here and pout.

Day's almost over, I can salvage some time
If I put my mind to it and wrap up this rhyme.

Tomorrow I'll be good, I promise, no lie
Unless I get bored, then it's back to GC to say hi!

I, too, felt like crap on Tuesday night
I called my mama, so she could tell me how to make it right

Off to Wal Mart she said to go
they have the best thing for colds, dont ya know?

What you need to get is some Thera Flu
It will shake that nasty cold right out of you

I bought some of the nasty drink
(But I really wanted to pour it down the sink)
I put it in the mirowave to heat it up
I used a glass, and not a plastic cup

That mess was almost too hot for me to hold
I grabbed the pot holders
to hold the cup instead
because I wasn't that bold
and didnt want my palms to be red.

That's all the rhyme I have today
This was a fun game
Perhaps tomorrow, again, this will I play.

*curtsies*

nikki1920 I tip my hat to you
telling a life's story in rhyme is hard to do

yes, making up that rhyme was hard to do
there is a pebble or something in my new shoe

true poetic talent I truly lack
and I'm still hugry and really want a big mac

in actuality my mommy did call
yay! she cares after all!
and to my surprise, so does GC
thanks for the well wishes, all the ones that i see
however, i awoke to my alarm, 5:30am
WTF is happening in my ear, sheer mayhem?
the left one is ringing, is someone singing?
oh no! i have an infection
i call my mommy but i cant speak with decent inflection
she sugarcoats nothing and says, "go to the ER,
go while its early, tell the nurse to tell the doctor 'please see her!'"
in a new neighborhood, where is this hospital to be?
if you recall i just moved, im on my own you see
luckily i find st joseph's without a hitch
between paying for parking and this earache, aint this a b!tch?
the doc, with much ease, tells me "ooh, your ear, inside its red,
infection indeed, take this antibiotic and go to bed!"
me: can i have a day off, perhaps two?
MD: sure, why not, do what you have to do!

fast forward to now, and my ear is still a mess
my throat is still sore, but it hurts much much less
i made some "tea" comprised of cayenne and honey
and lemon too, a better fix for less money
a few sips later, the throat is clear - for now
want the recipe for yourself? ill tell you how!

its quite simple, make sure the water is hot
i used the microwave but you may like the teapot
mix in some cayenne, and honey and lemon
do it all at home, not in Yemen or in Bremen!
season to taste, i personally like it sweet
cause too much pepper, and boy, you will feel the heat!

swallow and repeat for 15 minutes
scared? well, you gotta be in it to win it!

ok now im a little hungry
wouldve ordered from chung li
but i opted for pizza instead
off to eat it in bed!

:end scene:

yes, that deserves 2 thumbs indeed
please type more rhymes for me to read

told you guys TheraFlu does the trick
even if the taste means you'd rather stay sick

back to school party--do I want to go?
I'll give u 3 guesses and I'm a neo :D

but I'll be a year old in 2 months 7 days
How do I love My AKA? Let me count the ways

1- hundred years ago around this time
9- wonderful women had a vision devine
0- sororities existed to cater their needs; it's true
8- well minus 1 makes 7 sophmores joined in too

There's one last tidbit that I cannot hide
Being a part of the legacy makes me swell with pride

Sorry guys--you'll probably get more like this from me
A countdown 'til the centennial brings it out for all to see!

Oh, poor little rhyme thread,
lingering again on the second page
I'll come give you a bump
to put you back up on center stage.

I can't believe it's only Wednesday
it's the week that won't die
I'm cranky and crampy
oh, sorry, guys, TMI?

Today is Hump day, tis true
I am wearing a turtleneck
the color of which is Royal Blue.

The staff meeting this morning was good
My unit (the hosts) did our best to inspire a feeling
of team-hood :P

Nittanyalum,
thank you so for this thread.
It gives me a chance to exercise
the muscle which resides in my head.
(ps: sorry about the cramps,
perhaps you should get thee into a bed)

Thanks, Nikki, got me some peanut m&ms
They'll get me thru...
Bad day for me but not ZPhiB
Happy Founders Day to you!!!!

Don't know how I missed this thread,
I do check GC at least once before bed.

I had to add on to this rhyming of words.
All I can say this is not for the birds!

Cool thread.
I wish I would have thought of this one, but it just wasn't in my head.
I'm no good at this, because I can't rhyme.
If I tried to make money doing it, I wouldn't have a dime.

cheerfulgreek's rhyme made me LOL
i'm thinking naughty thoughts, i might go to hell
i should take my horny self to bed
im tired anyway, and my eyes are red

Surprise, surprise when I logged on GC,
a thread with a topic that puzzled me.
Discussion about protection and such,
Daemon saying something about being a carpet munch..
Er, I really couldn't get down with the conversation,
dental dams, oh my, must be some HEAVY relations.
I'm going to bed, with eye lids so heavy;
tomorrow I get to drive hubby's brand new Chevy.

Can I make a new rhyme tonight?
nope. I'm sleepy. I'll turn off the light.
