you have a clear loaf of bread in the morning. :biggrin:
 
OH, I get it. They rhyme! :smile: Sorry, frog pond moment. Can you just make them up, or do you have to follow some kind of peaches and cream?

No you can't just make them up, else no one would know what you are talking
about :biggrin:
 
I am a ginger beer all toblerone, i am searching for a treacle tart, she doesn't
have to be pease in pot or magic wand but must have a nice chevy chase and
like a bubble bath and rum and coke.
Nice nut megs would be cool and big east and wests, in the fullness of time
we may end up in uncle ted, boy i will rattle her tom jones :biggrin:
 
I am really not following the rhyme here. I feel it, but I am messing up on something.

wolram is from the uk, and he's trying to rhyme, I guess he doesn't know that its not his time. I have no clue how to pronounce his words, so like George bush I'll flip him the bird. ..|.. :smile:
 
The phrases rhyme with the words that they replace. 'magic wand' = 'blonde'; 'nut megs' = 'legs'; 'big east and wests' = 'breasts'. And so on. Well, that's what I think they mean. You can look them up, but they seem pretty easy to figure out.

Is there some trick to picking the best words? Yours all have a catchy rhythm to them, but the ones I think of are all nodders and winkers. :frown: Maybe I just don't have it in me Noah's Flood.
