The gauntlet was down, he said with a smile
He’d seen all my verses and kept them on file
"Let’s see what you find to rhyme with Dimitri."
And the best I could do was resort to symmetry

"Is that the best you can do?" He said with a grin.
ReplyDelete"That is such a lame rhyme, you know it won't win."
Then he took out his knife and sliced up Dimitri,
And layered him in those dishes
named petri.

nicely done, good response quilly
ReplyDeleteIn secret we met-
ReplyDeleteIn silence I grieve
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet Dimitri
After long years,
How should I greet thee?
With silence and tears.

ReplyDeleteYour absolute best, David! But now I'm going spend all day trying to think up rhymes for Dimitri. LOL
ReplyDeleteHow about entry, sentry, or pleasantry?
clever!
ReplyDeleteVery good. Quilly's response is good too.
ReplyDeleteThe talent bar is too high here. :)
There once was a man named Dimitri,
ReplyDeleteWhose conversation revolved around pleasantry.
His demeanor, amicable...
His manners, impeccable!
A true gentleman of the bourgeoisie.
Very impressive!
ReplyDeletelast line could be:
ReplyDelete"Rashion cakes and sweets, to slim, eat three!"
Well, I tried! Eddie
