Jim's Cafe - Weekend is here!!! 25th August - ...

[Innocent Forever]

Hey y'all!
So today, we're, um, we're going to sit down and relax.
There are races for whoever wants in the garden, like mazes and obstacle courses, and, um, you tell me
I'm going to sit down and relax with some oatmeal chocolate cookies and mint chocolate chip ice cream

Help yourself as there is WAY too much for me...

The challenge for today is to write a rhyme
and say something nice about yourself (or do something nice for yourself)
it takes lots of time
and I don't consider myself an elf
I don't like the taste of lime
um, do I really know how to rhyme???

Come join us and bring along everyone

OOOh, the challenge is to join the count to a million thread

I don't have a rhyme
I work in the night time
talkin to the guys about their crime
leaves me no pastime
scribblin, jottin words about my "me time"

I don't exist
I'm tryin to resist
but I just get dissed and dismissed
I'm a shell, I subsist
on loathing, misery and flying fists

 

[Sarahphim]

Sign me up for some of ice cream, Inno.

I am having a me day today.
You're not going to believe your eyes.
I am going to the spa today.
I'm doing something wise.

For every pain that ever there was
Will dissolve today for certain
Because today's the day that
Sarahphim has a me day.

 

[Fudgewobble]

Something nice, something kind
I'm meant to say about me?
Oh dear, my dear what can I find
What could that nice thing be?

Thinking. Argh! My brain rebels
This task is way too hard, hun.
I've drunk some wine and killed the cells
Required to conjure up one.

Ok, I'll try but just for you
And only for this one time.
Something nice that I can do?
I know! I wrote this cool rhyme.

 

[Baywasp]

Just dropping this for now. Might be back later.

 

[Ash600]

Thanks for the invite, Inno.

The sun is shining
The weekend is here
Come and join me
we'll have a few beers.

Roses are red,
Coffee tastes good.
I suck at rhymes,
Ice cream.

Inviting @PhoenixLady and @rabitt3434 because they are good at rhymes.

 

[PhoenixLady]

I am not so much for rhyming you know its all in the timing
Mel help me out here... @Anttmel

 

[Kiwi2016]

This is lame...i know....so will retreat and eat ice cream with hot fudge and cookies and maybe sugar will get neurons going. Happy Friday one and all....

I wish I could fly far away
Up up and away

 

[Rebreb]

Just earlier today
I had ice cream
And my stomach did say
(Well, it screamed):
"Why oh why
Do you try
When you know
I will bloat!
Tell the buds
That do taste
That to me
It's a waste
For a scoop
Of delight
You put me
Through a fright.
When you know
We both miss
That dairy-free
Coconut Bliss..."

 

[Fudgewobble]

Haha, @Rebreb, that'll teach you! But every now and then the taste buds win and you get sucked in again.

 

[Shush]

View attachment 3491 Yikes Pho. You are the writer. Not me. As for rhyming - not my thing. Instead I will bring A yummy cake and hope no one notices that I have no poem.

 

[Sunday16]

You are good and you are kind
And love will find you well in time

 

[Human Ex Machinae]

Ooooo...that got my attention. I'm suddenly alert and checking the time to see if the stores are open.

 

[A guy with feelings]

The dogs on the bed
A cat's in my face.
I still suck at rhymes.
Now give me some space.

@sassy123 come help. You know about cats!

 

[Human Ex Machinae]

Morning has broken
like the first morning
the rooster has spoken
so wadda ya gonna do, not many words rhyme with 'morning' (shrug)

If you unpack that, it would make an awesome gangsta rap rhyme. But this is a family friendly forum, so I will say no more

 

[Claire_from_Canada]

Something nice about me?
Wonder what that could be?
Not sure what you all see
Telling me would be key

Sometimes I go crazy
Completely out of my mind
My thoughts are hazy
But my heart is kind

I say nice things
Show people I care
Tug the ol' heartstrings
My secrets laid bare

Some days I cry
The silence is loud
Screaming "I will try"
Of that, I am proud

Depression does not beat me
I am the stronger one
Sharing sets the heart free
My mistakes are undone

Thanks all, this has been fun
Nothing i'd rather do
Waxing poetic in the afternoon sun
Chilling with all of you

You missed a great opportunity to use 'yawning'. Scrabble not your thing I see.

 

[Fudgewobble]

Good one @east_coast_mel
