so get your make up on and let's get cracking...

 

[HoopyFrood]

They'd be on TV - And not too late,

to try to put their point of view..

 

[ice.monkey]

I thought I'd checked as well! I must've missed your final edit! Anyways...

to inititate those without a clue...

to the evils of the building trade...

And so they went, a veritable parade.

They went to the studio and when they went on air...

 

[ice.monkey]

it was with such astounding flair...

that all thought it a wonderful show...

 

[Talysia]

And the animals received lots of help for their woe.

Someone kindly donated to them a new house...

 

[ice.monkey]

the catch being that it's over the ocean in Laos...

but the animals, being an adventurous lot...

 

[Talysia]

Decided to take up the offer, and were loaned a yacht.

First post - 8 or 9 syllable couplet rhymed a=a

There was a young man who said; 'Look!,
I perceive the demise of the book,

Second post - 5 or 6 syllable couplet rhymed b=b

The past we'll forget,
Now we all surf the net.'

Third post - same meter as first, rhymed a, then a new couplet for the next one,

I hope that young man was mistook.

Dah dah-da da dah-dah da dah
Dah dah-dah dah dah
Dah dah-dah dah dah
Dah dah-da da dah-dah da dah

I hope all that above makes sense - now we'll find out!

Who wanted to try a new dance,

But with her two left feet,
She kept missing the beat...
