The definition did say there is a strict pattern to the rhythm. A lot of people get it wrong. But two of my favorites derive their humor from being wrong!
There once was a poet named Stan
Whose verses never would scan
When told this was so
He said yes I know
But it's probably because I always try to stick as many syllables in the last line as I possibly can.
There once was a young girl named Jill
Who ran up and down a steep hill
When someone inquired
Say, don't you get tired?
She said, "Na!"
And another favorite from high school that Doojable will remember:
An amoeba named Sam and his brother
Were having a drink with each other
In the midst of their quaffing
They split themselves laughing
And now each of them is a mother
As far as writing some about the Way, I'll have to work on that.
Here's one I wrote for my WOW brother, many moons ago. (He'd been in the Air Force, and really LOVED peanut butter!) I can't believe I still remember it.

The fish got married in the water,
And his wife soon birthed a daughter.
Who after time got wed,
To another Fish Head,
who ended up in the mouth of an Otter.

There once was a man from New Breman...
Who thought that we was all filled with demons
He danced on a stage
And got into a rage
But chased us all out the door with his screamin'
(Oh... the rhyming possibilities with "Breman" are incredible.... but I behaved!)

There once was a man from Ohio
Who said to himself, "My oh my, oh"
"I need some more money
And at least one more honey.
But where do I get them? I know!"
"I'll start my very own cult.
Every church that there is I'll insult.
I'll call it 'The Way'
I'll have the last say
No one will know that I'm really a dolt!"

Biblical Research...psych!
You told your mind "Take a hike!"
But the fountain still flows
And on The Way goes
But the president is now a woman.
:)
Not that there's anything wrong with that...

There once was a rock of ages
where all puppets played on the stages
Hyponotized the crowds singing out loud
Live your life now..go out and go Wow
and live your life in the cages

I took the 'class' in SeventyFive
Right away, I heard the Jive
Go WOW, Go WOW NOW
Got sent to Cajun's Holy Ground
Some people listened, then said BYE BYE.
ThirtyThree Years have now passed
But I stayed through the POOP blast,
Then came: Purge the Household, Purge it NOW
Walked away & have since learned how
To love God & for His forgiveness, I've asked.
No longer believe the law of believing
Do believe someone was deceiving
Set out with a plan for a great following
Years later, many were left wallowing
But with Greasespot's help are now ACHIEVING!!!!!!

After WOW there was something more,
You could sign up and go into the Corps,
Learn how to hear God,
While you're scrubbin' the john
I'm so glad that I found the door.
(I almost said something else in that last line!)

Oldie but Goodie
As a beauty I am not a star
There are others more fair by far
But my face I don't mind it
Because I'm behind it
It's those in front whom I jar.
A little self defecating humor.

There once was a man from New Knoxville
Who had trouble keeping his cock still,
He'ld see a young woman
and he would go runnin'
For hours or more with no pill.

Here we tell the 'other side of the story'
Of The Way when it was in it's 'glory.'
We may bicker and fight
But comes out all right.
We try not to make it too gory.

I usually try to restrain myself, but that one was too funny.
jeast might well have been punning. Either way, it cracked me up!
I mean, didn't we get crapped on enough already??

Here's one I wrote for my WOW brother, many moons ago. (He'd been in the Air Force, and really LOVED peanut butter!) I can't believe I still remember it.
An airplane mechanic named Bob
Had to do an emergency job
He pasted a rudder
With smooth peanut butter
And used chunky to fix a loose knob
(I'm still working on one about TWI.)

GOT IT!!!!
The Way was a con and a scam
With leaders who knew ‘twas a sham
They learned from Doc Veepee
To think with their peepee
But they didn’t know Greek worth a damn!

There was a mean man from "the corn field"
Whose family was not very well-heeled
He preached to tree stumps
Saw snow on gas pumps
That mean,mean old man from "the corn field".

Ole M^rtindale thought he could dance
He donned tights and gave it a chance.
The crowd was dismayed
At what was displayed.
Perhaps he should have stuck to his rants.

On stage stood the man with the 'power'
and he would preach and scream by the hour
if you sat in the front
on your hard tree stump
you ended up with a shower.
YUK!!!! :blink:
