Verse and worse

Marty McFly
Was ever so spry
He went back to the future
Wearing slate-grey and fuchsia

    Wears those colours each day
    But lives in the present
    Now isn't that pleasant?

    Three cheers for the return of Verse & Worse!

  2. He must be related to "Kite"
    Who travelled mush faster than light.
    She proceeded one day
    In a relative way
    And returned on the previous night.

    Motion by Maggie seconded . . . horray!

    PS the word verification was 'ourfe'. Perhaps blogger thinks my poem is "awful" LOL.
    SAo awful that it would not accept it first time LOL

  3. Bernie really didn't know
    when she stopped by to say hello
    that everyone would have a verse
    yeah, I know I am the worse..

    ......big hugs from Canada

  7. To rhyme with future

  9. Hi Mimi,

    That is a hilarious rejoinder. Great work with the word "suture" and your last line is a piece of art!

  10. Hi Sara,

    Yes, that is precisely what triggered the thought. We're on the same wavelength.

    So glad my blog is showing up on your sidebar, after more than a year away!
