This is quite a Thread

That started because of Zed

That voice in my head

Are lyrics from Ged

 

I need to go to bed!

 

This thread simply proves

That RUSH fans are quite smooth

With their Wisdom and their Wit

Maybe we are full of ....?

 

But soon this thread will pass

Before it becomes a pain in the ass

Like memories from the past

Through the eyes of the looking-glass

 

Tomorrow is a new day

I must leave this fray

To others who will certainly say

"Just go the hell away!"

 

I could go on and on

And continue this song

But now it is getting long

And the ideas are about gone

 

But before I go

I have just one thing to say

Don't ever eat snow

On a sunny day

Draconator (Counterparts supremo Ken) is fond of pointing out that if you look at a thread, anything after the 10th post will bear no relation to the title of the thread.

 

Can I just remind you this thread started with an enquiry about how the letter "Z" is pronounced in Canada

 

 

 

 

"The rhyming skills on this board are showing

the interest in iambic pentamater is growing.

The question is where do we take it from here,

what poetic direction should we choose when we steer?.

 

Should this awesome expression of verbosity be binned,

or should the evidence of our verbosity be pinned?".

LOL Madra you are very good at rhyming

And Draconator was right about the subject declining

but I think that we have found a right good way

to interact and be creative, and very socialable today

 

So as to this awesome expression of verbosity being binned?

I say, to that, Hell NO!, this is where our stage begins

So please, if you must, go right ahead and pin

This fabu thread of creativity, my Rush kith and kin

[Jack Aubrey]

I'm no good at rhymes but here's a slightly tongue-in-cheek haiku:

 

 

The Rush fans rhyme well.

All showing some Peart-like skill.

Well, not exactly.......

[RushRevisited]

I don't know why,

I will not lie,

Rush fans are the best,

at carrying on this mess.

That may be true but

nothing here is as questionable

as Dog Years

[The Notorious B.S.G.]

Where are we headed? It's hard to say

But we'll have fun, along the way

 

And so carry on with rhyme and pun

Remembrin' that tis all in fun

 

And here's another, off the top o' me 'ead

But have no fear, and have no dread

 

Cause one more hair goes with it too

But this happens to ME, not you

 

And so my shiny-pated brothers we

Earthshine, Jack (and of course, me!)

 

Will wash one more follicle down the drain

And watch it go, with wistful pain

 

"Earthshine" now "Headshine", "B" stands for bald

We've yet to determine, what Jack will be called

 

Chromes domes we, Unite! Unite!

We can't give up without a fight!

 

Hair plugs, weaves, and toupees yes!

Will surely make the ladies guess

 

Is that hair real or memorex?

We'll let ya know after we've had..... luvin'

Bald Sweet Guy!!!! There we go!!!!!!

 

If you use Nioxin,

Then ya can go foxin...

 

I am not much of a lyricist, but Nioxin, is right up my alley!!!

 

 

[Midway Hawker]

Oh me, now we are talking about Pharmisutical Drugs

Oh my, can't we just get back to kisses and hugs

 

And since we are talking about Nioxin

We can't forget the Pharm name for Viagra: Mycoxafloppin

 

I think that now I might be on a roll

so butter me up and give me TP for my Bung Hole!!

I find myself checking in every once in awhile to see what else has been stated,

This is wonderful, but my dear, what in the world have we created?!

[The Notorious B.S.G.]

We've created a monster, that much is true

But we'll go with the flow, as we always do

 

So with that in mind, let me just say

I'm sharing with all my good, busy day

 

I'll skip past the boring, get on to the fluff

Work bores me so, you don't need that stuff

 

Move on to the evening, when shadows fell

And all in my house was good and well

 

Travis did homework, while Emily played

(She's only 5 now, and can't be waylaid)

 

Next year at this time she will be in school

And someday soon make the boys act a fool

 

For now she's at home, and blissfully so

Soon enough, soon enough, she must surely go

 

So now back to my boy, who sits in his room

Working math problems, and fighting the gloom

 

Just one more page, and finished you'll be

And then we can talk of subjects many

 

And tell me once more, what is it you're hummin'?

It sounds quite familiar, I feel the name comin'

 

That's Ludwig Van, as sure as can be

And are you aware, it's his best symphony?

 

Hot lashings of "Joy", Or should I say "nine"?

Your music teach' taught a lesson divine

 

For this my son, is surely the peak

Of that which we love, and music fans seek

 

The high point of man, enclosed in CD

Much better than watching that lousy TV

 

So off to bed, scoot! Get under your cover

I'll culture you yet, my Beethoven lover!

Why thank you, thank you, my friend AGP

For your kindest words and generosity

 

In this we do, we try to do well

Rhyming at times, is not easy to tell

 

These verses we make, inspired by

Give us that feeling of a "Secret Touch"

 

That we may tap into the mind of the lyrical wonder

The one known as The Professor, the God of Thunder

 

Try as we might, we may never succeed

To come close to the perfection that he has percieved

 

We will continue, in this, our lyrical rant

Just as Lerxst does, in his usual pant

 

To you, men of we give great thanks to thee

For the many years of music, to make us feel free

 

So come all you talents, come all you wannabe's

For this thread will not die if we keep adding our piece

 

Let us wax poetic on the band we all admire

And keep this thread going, the lyrics on fire!!
