Well thank you for that

But it's almost gone flat

This thread was ahead

But now it's near dead!

Fear not, dear Praetorian

We can go back in time

Not a flying Delorean

But a purpose to rhyme

See, without rhyme or reason

There's no reason to rhyme

So now is the season

To grant a topic sublime

Something deserving

Of this forum's discussions

Perhaps something unnerving

Like those arrogant Russians!

Or fast food!  Or travel!

Some topic like those

Where readers can unravel

The purpose of our prose

Darth Ender

You speak as though you've been on a bender.

Fear not, tho I just

Because I am Possessed 

But not, as Raigen, but Pazuzu

Or even honey boo-boo

But by chicken fried rice

"Look at you over there,

Ripping the sawdust from my teddy bear"
I quoth the fabled Alice Cooper

Though unfortunately that song is a pooper.

Well my dear Ender you did much today

And now that my hopes aren't nearly as gray

A topic you may now choose for this thread 

So that I may see how far it gets lead

Well if truly into my hands you now lay

The topic of our discussion today

Then perhaps I will turn to the movie franchise

And the film that in '93 dazzled my eyes

I was merely 11, and while I loved Star Wars

Another movie grabbed me; 'twas about dinosaurs

But now we're on the fourth of the set

Have you guessed what saga I refer to yet?

Of course the series is Jurassic Park.

The first was magic, but have they jumped the shark?

I was thinking it was going to be the Land Before Time.

Crap, now I have to find something with that to rhyme...

Not a bad guess, that is for sure

But I saw that movie in my seventh year

Fond memories I have for that one as well

I've liked dinosaurs a long time, can't you tell?

So this evening my wife and I had a fun date

And though our outing started a bit late

It was totally worth it because we both viewed

A dinosaur escape, then chaos ensued

Yes, we finally caught Jurassic World

Though it was a bit gory and I nearly hurled

It was also filled with much of the fun

That defined the first film, Jurassic Park 1

With just the right combo of wonder and fright

And humor that I now consider my night

A night well spent with my lovely bride

But now that I'm locked up safely inside

I'll end saying this was a most worthy chapter...

Wait! Did I just hear a velociraptor???

Author

That sounded very delightful

If not perhaps somewhat frightful

It would not to me appeal

For I need something more real

But I do not wish to sound spiteful

So tell me, dear Post, what kind of movie

Would someone your age find to be groovy?

Do you enjoy action?  Drama? Suspense?

You say something more real? What could be that intense?

Author
Time

Let's see my dear Ender

A show for the aged...?

What can I remember

It may be quite dated...?

If I ain't cool my daddy gonna send me
To military school
If I ain't nice my girl gonna freeze me
With cold shoulder ice
If I'm real late my teacher gonna use me
For alligator bait
If I'm caught without my pants
Consuelo's dad is gonna shoot
Until he sees me dance
If I spray it on the seat lady gonna tie a big knot
In the meat
If I spewey too fast lover's gonna stick
My Wrangler in a cast
If zipper grabs skin
I'll know I had it out when I shoulda left it in

If that old wretch won't help

Send in the young whelp

My shoe still needs clasping

And I am still grasping

At straws to carry on

My number-based clarion

So I will simply type

Number 83 so you don't gripe

'84, a government store

Nobody sang The Bunny Song in years…

Just because you're leaving the forum

Doesn't mean you needn't show proper decorum

This thread is still for rhyming fools

And even in exit, you must follow the rules!

Thank's for...*ahem* 'thut' ?

Well Possessed, my friend

We will meet again

If not in this thread

Then elsewhere instead!

Well, we had better.

For to not meet again, I would sooner give up the cheese of cheddar.
