» Will you go out with me?

text messages 24.08.08
First post.. been an ardent reader of the mailing list (according to my gmail) since Issue 140: "Happy clappy baby donkeys".

the previous night to the following text messages we had been discussing going through an entire day speaking only in rhyming couplets, I'm sure you're all familiar with the idea though I'm not aware of where it originated... only lines 1 & 2 have been modified, slightly.

I should warn you of some mushy-wushyness:

~~

You're really awesome by the way
Just something I thought I ought to say

Your rhyming couplet made me smile
I'll have you know I like your style

You know its been exactly a month since I first saw you smile?
Would you like to go out with me for a while?

Sure with u i'd like to spend more time
(this is a filler i have no rhyme)
Where it'll go is anyone's guess
but it'll be fun so my answer's yes

I'm pleased to hear your answers yes
I like you lots I must confess
your presence seems to soothe my stress
and without you I'd be much less

Its clear to me you've won this game
When compared my lines are lame!
Though ill add you're exaggerating to make a point
While I'm multitasking you're prob only smoking a joint*

I'm a poet and I didn't know it
but these lines are shit
I must admit my brain is weary
Can I give you one more query?
Can we speak in normal sentence?
This rhyming is a true penance

I think we agree this game is done
and I for one will say you... Did better.
