Loglimerhyme, Larry Jennings' variant of Logarhyme w/ 332332 pulse meter Options

[JustDaniel]

When you winnow, your sieve sometimes breaks,
and you make some gosh-awful mistakes;
chaff gets mixed with wheat.
When you shake, some ends up in your pants
and your skin dries, attracting large ants
who then try to eat.

[Larry]

If attracting large ants you would eat
dip them in chocolate sauce for a treat
that you’ll simply adore
just like popcorn with butter and salt
you’ll run out. Problem comes to a halt
with a few on the floor.

[JustDaniel]

If the ants on the floor tempt your tongue
I'm not likely to be there among
all your chocolate freaks
who like critters you've covered with ooze
and the others you want to amuse
with your sweet techniques.

[Larry]

My techniques may be sweet but their sure
to attract most of earth’s epicure
‘cept the United States
where if it does not grow in plain sight
and has more than four legs, causes fright
when it’s put on their plates.

[Larry]

Sorry, double entry!

[JustDaniel]

If it's there on your plate, you're to eat
everything, whether bitter or sweet;
that's the way it is
when your parents were depression kids;
simple pinching of pennies forbids
any wasteful biz.

[Larry]

Wasteful business; a Christmas forte
when the stores put on sales. You don’t pay
‘till the bill’s coming due.
You spend money you don’t have to cheer
relatives and some folks you hold dear.
Happy New Year to you!



and to all your family too!

[JustDaniel]

We wish Happy New Year to you
and to all of your family too
and those still there
clinging on to your hos tility
( missing pital, replaced with a t )
till you've lost hair.

[Larry]

I still have all my hair but it's white
as the new fallen snow but it might
go away without doubt
for as snow melts away, it displays
lots of work that will take many days;
I'll be pulling it out.

[JustDaniel]

When you're pulling it out by the roots
you'll discover that having hair suits
you a lot better now;
it's too late not to have a toupee
unless you have the money to pay
for transplant know-how.

[Larry]

If you have transplant know-how with hair
and you have a few sprigs you can share
I’d like some on my face
for my Indian heritage lacked
that ability and it’s a fact
of a beard, there’s no trace.

[JustDaniel]

If you don't have the trace of a beard
when you're young it will not have appeared
when you're old and gray.
But if you've an abundance of hair
that gets thin as you age, it's a fair
bet to go away.

[Larry]

On a bet, I could go away shaved
for a year maybe two having braved
no tonsorial ilk
and the hair that had grown on my face
could be licked by a cat without trace
just by adding some milk

[JustDaniel]

Just by adding some milk to your coffee
you could make your associates scoffy;
they think they're tough.
They expect that you drink your joe black,
but Black pitched in the Majors way back;
he was not enough.

[Larry]

Though his pitch was not nearly enough
and it floated like some ball of fluff
for a strike at the knees.
Major Leaguers at bat choked off chuckles
‘till they tried to swing at his slow knuckles
but they’d stand there and freeze.

[JustDaniel]

If you stand and freeze in the winter
because you're afraid of a splinter
then you need to sit
on a seat that is not made of wood;
if you do you will find that you could
warm yourself a bit.

[Larry]

If you’re warming yourself just a bit
then make sure the fireplace is well lit
and will last for a while
when you go for a sleigh ride outside
you won’t come back and find it has died
‘cause you’ll splinter that smile.

[JustDaniel]

If you're fond of a splintery smile
you can chew on soft wood for awhile;
rake across your lips.
I'm not sure why you'd want to do that;
if you do, please keep hold of your hat;
it could do some flips.

[Larry]

Doing flips with a hat on your head
might require a string larger than thread
to hold it in its place
because gravity might make it slip
while you are upside down in a flip
and you’ll land on your face.

[JustDaniel]

If you land on your face in the street
in a marathon, you can't compete;
get your butt on the bus.
All those ambulance people are nice
and their treatment of you will suffice
till you come back to us.
