Three Rhymes and a Movie

I. The Rhymes

As promised, here are the first three of the limericks made from the words provided by the entrants of last week’s blog contest.

Eyegillian offered the word “explore”. Her limerick will gain sidebar status on May 7th.

(thanks to Gelett Burgess)

• I wish that my room had a door!
• I don’t care so much for a floor,
• But without any way
• To get out and go play,
• I won’t have a chance to explore!

 

Alyson offered the word “Pluto”. Your limerick will be front-paged on May 14.

• Is Pluto a planet or not?
• I used to know, but I forgot.
• To force its demotion
• Has caused me emotion;
• My horoscope now has a blot!

 

Jack’s mum offered “flash”, but I haven’t quite managed that one yet, so today I’ll post her other suggestion, “Transylvania”. It’ll be sidebarred… umm… Checkers, what’s three times seven?

•  A passenger from Transylvania
• Smiled and laughed till his stop: Pennsylvania.
• He was trying his best
• To ward off arrest:
• “For concealed weapons found, they’ll arraign ya.”

 

II. The Movie

 While I couldn’t find a Youtube video of Burton Cummings singing “I Will Play a Rhapsody”, Themarvelousinnature sent a link to some Canadians named Keith, Ken, and Frank jamming in Keith’s basement. Apart from the opening ritardando, they’re really not bad. So here’s a link to a coupla guys on accoustic guitars and their singing cohort (the twin brother of the one guitarist!), belting out their tribute to Burton Cummings. Enjoy!
