Silly little rhymes

Here’s a little lightness and levity admist some of the turmoil of the board recently.

When I was young, my sister and brother-in-law used to challenge ourselves to come up with silly rhymes in this format:

Here’s a little lightness and levity admist some of the turmoil of the board recently.

When I was young, my sister and brother-in-law used to challenge ourselves to come up with silly rhymes in this format:

I love you, I love you I love you so well If I had a peanut I’d give you the shell

-Or-

I love you, I love you My love for you so real If I had a banana I’d give you the peel

Silly little things, but we used to have so much fun coming up with them

As a fun aside, what can you come up with? Is doesn’t necessarily have to be food related, but the twist about loving so much to give something people don’t like, that was the kicker.

One more to get you started:

I love you, I love you My love for you runs deep If I had a chance I’d give you the creeps

  1. Rhymes

    For all musicians..

    I love you, I love you My love is so able, If I had a mic, I’d Scratch your two turntables

    Or For Matt..

    I Love you, I love you My love was for that grin If I had to make fat thin I’d do it with Atkins

    Or for Sam

    I love you, I love you My love is like Bass strings If It weren’t so deep, think.. I’d be able to play things.

    Or.. for weed

    I Love You, I love you My Love’s on the edge If I had the power I’d rewrite the pledge (Couldn’t resist, sorry)

    Or.. For Timpane..

    I Love you, I Love you My love is so groovy You have no life outside of This site, Church and Movies.

  2. Keeping It Light

    I love you, I love you So be joyful and merry And come this October Get out and vote Kerry

    Oh man, I was supposed to keep this light. I screwed up. Let me try again.

    I hate you, I hate you I’m so full of enmity Where the heck were those Weapons of MD?

    SORRY! I’ll try again. Besides, that rhyming structure wasn’t the best.

    I love you, I love you Although your actions speak treason That’s what you get from A security adviser named Condoleeza

    These are TERRIBLE. Who’s monitoring this blog? They let this kind of crap on here? All right, all right, bear with me folks, another short sonnet about to rip off…

    I love you, I love you I really adore ya’ At least I’m not living Out in California

    1. Love

      On a birthday:
      I love you, I love you
      I really adore ya’
      That’s why this little rhyme’s
      All I got for ya’.

      I love you, I love you
      To me, you mean so much
      I ran over something outside
      Hey, was this your crutch?

      I love you, I love you
      I love rhythm and rhyme.
      But I’ve problems with meter
      So let me start over and try this again one more time.

      I love you, I love you
      Like candy and flowers
      Like warts, rotting hedgehogs
      And funeral bowers.

      I love you, I love you
      So much I get the shakes
      Like tornados, backed-up sewers,
      Floods, fires, and earthquakes.

      This one’s for Osama Bin Laden:
      I love you, I love you
      With no other clothing
      Than a brand-new tuxedo
      In your coffin, decomposing.

      This is kind of fun, gotta think of more!

  3. I love you I love you, with a

    I love you I love you, with all heart and soul, if I had a donut I’d give you the hole

    My parents had the original children’s album this song appeared on and I can’t find it.

    I love you I love you with all that is mine, if I had a melon I’d give you the rind.

    is all I can remember.

    1. give me give me

      give me give me give me a man with a big heart make him give me all them funky things give me give me a man with a big heart

    2. Love You, Love You, I’d Give You…

      My wife taught me these: I love you, I love you, With my heart and soul, If I had a donut, I’d give you the hole.

      I love you, I love you, I love you so well, If I had a peanut, I’d give you the shell.

      I thought they were so cute I came up with a couple more: I love you, I love you, My love is so real, If I had an orange, I’d give you the peal.

      I love you, I love you, there’ll never be troubles, If I had champaign, I’d give you the bubbles.

      I love you, I love you, I will perform great deeds, If I had an apple, I’d give you the seeds.

      …these are so fun! -Rees

  4. Timothy Dan

    Timothy Dan was a funny wee man He kept all of his wealth in his pockets Two buttons, A box, thew keys of two clocks and the chain of his grandmother Margrets locket.

    A big piece if string is a most usefull thing A watch without hands and a few rubber bands, A broken down penknife with only one blade and a little toy boat that his grandfather made.

    You’d never believe Hearing such a long list That there’s room in each pocket for one little fist and you’d believe that the smallest of boys could carry so much in his wee corderorys

    1. Great, a poem which I

      Great, a poem which I learned whilst at school in Dublin when I was 9, 48 years ago

        2. Ode to Ben

          Ben is the guy Did not get a mention But unlike this writer He’ll at least get a pension

          Ben went to law school And sang op’ra as tenor Played nice piano And thats how I know Ben.. er..

          He almost made me go To UMBC By taking the time out To sell it to me

          I went to St mary’s A bad choice, yes to start there They didn’t have ben (Though I did see Tim Clarke there)

          Ben was the wayward That i knew the lesser But I always admired His songwriting, yes sir

          And now that I know him, I feel quite ashamed I wrote up a poem And left out Bens name

          So just like the organ In the House of Dreams bridge I’ve turned up the volume Much more than a smidge

          I yell to the mountains, the rivers and grass HERE’S BEN IN A POEM and I just kissed his ass.

      Gadgets, model airplanes, and disgruntled lawyers Registries, ukuleles, and panda pornographers Debates about religion, politics, and how Paris sings These are a few Barnsonian things!

      Sam’s toilet reviews and alternative sleep schedules Josh Wheldon, eBay selling, and manufactured jewels It all started with detangling from Mormon strings These are a few Barnsoninan things!

      Members from DC, Utah, and Minnesota Talk of socialism, naturalism, and D.C. Al Coda Actors, musicians, and geeks taking swings These are a few Barnsonian things!
