Words that have no rhymes: MONTH.

[Richard Steele]

I've been spending some weeks alone
composing an epic poem
and been stymied by the need for a rhyme with "month"...

So in a bit of revisionist twist,
I gave a minor character a LISP;
and I think I may have pulled it off this oneth.

:evilgrin:

1. O.K., now do 'purple' and 'orange'

:D

:hi:

[rockymountaindem]

2. Um, nurple?

Get a clue, Shakespeare.

[AwakeAtLast]

3. Alas, poetry I do not write

:P

[Richard Steele]

6. So, you've seen my epic poem dealing with ShortWave Radio, have you?

And the 15 pages in the middle where I drone on and on
about the the benefits of the "low range"?
















And 'purple' has had a rhyme since 1958.
"Burple" is a real word now- Google it sometime.

17. "Door hinge" is a rhyme for "orange"

:hi:

19. Roses are red, and violets are purple

Sugar is sweet, and so is maple syrple.

25. Mon Cul, the baboon in Robbins' Another Roadside Attraction....

happens to be the only creature in existence who knows a word that rhymes with orange

27. Nurple

www.nurple.com

I could have easily been born on that web site had it been around in 1970.

:evilgrin:

Orange = Aren't ...as in Aren't ya glad I didn't say banana again? :P

4. Hungry

:D

[Richard Steele]

8. The rhyme for that would get this thread LOCKED in 30 seconds.

You freaky sick pervert- shame on you!

[Jamastiene]

26. dungaree

:evilgrin:

5. Someone should make one up.

Funth - To make something fun. I.E. Lets funth up those brownies with some weed!

[Richard Steele]

7. I think you're way ahead of us on that one.

Just replied to say I LOVE your sigline. :thumbsup:

9. Orange.

[mitchum]

12. Syringe...take it from a songwriter who specializes in GDRs...

gratuitous drug references

[triguy46]

13. IMHO, that's a stretch. Isn't there and Ogden Nash poem about this problem?

"His passion, though, was rhyme. "I think in terms of rhyme," he said, "and have since I was six years old." (He once said that he almost fell in love with a woman named "Mrs. Blorange" because he was so fascinated with her name—orange being one of the few words in the language, along with silver and pilgrim—that has no standard words with which to rhyme.)"

14. Perhaps, but slurring and loud electric guitars go a long way in masking...

the sin of false rhymes.
It's a rockandroll song, not a sonnet :)

[Richard Steele]

20. Yeah, you hafta wonder how folks got by in the olden days...

Loud electric guitars cover a multitude of sins.
Gotta love 'em.

[Richard Steele]

21. Please see my post #6 above. nm

[mitchum]

22. Oh, that...hertz

[Richard Steele]

24. BadumpBUMP! (rimshot) nm

[MrSlayer]

10. Silver.

Silver is another word for which there is no rhyme in the English language.

[mitchum]

11. Richard, you should be very worried...

we think alike.
I was thinking along the exact line before I even read the body of your message.

[Richard Steele]

15. I've been 'very worried' for decades....

I'm "not quite right", you know...and I've got lots
of real official-looking paperwork to prove it.

Frickin signatures, stamps & seals and counter-signatures EVERYWHERE.






It is a pretty good rhyme though, isn't it?

[mitchum]

16. Pretty good? It's a beautiful rhyme.

[jobycom]

18. Well ain't ya clever?

:applause:

I love it!

[Richard Steele]

23. The real clever part isn't the punchline...

Read it again: I made you think "twist" rhymes with "lisp".
It really DOESN'T, you know.

I'm much more proud of that than the "oneth" thing.

[Jamastiene]

28. Pull a couple of his teeth and make him a

dunce. That'll rhyme sufficiently. :P
