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

[JustDaniel]

Do you rake up and bag all your leaves?
Save the sweat and the dirt on your sleaves;
mow or mulch the things up.
Ride your mower around and just whistle;
when you're done, sit and write an epistle...
or train up a new pup.

[Larry]

Training pups or to mow sitting down
would require buying both while in town
but I’m trying real hard
to maintain my menagerie’s sum
and a second lawnmower is dumb;
I push one in my yard.

[JustDaniel]

If you're pushing to mow in your yard
at your age you are working too hard
though the exercise may
keep you fitter than my tub of lard,
though of course you cannot disregard...
charging one, you must pay.

[Larry]

Charging one, you must pay through the nose
for the interest each month as it grows
‘till you’ve paid for it twice
rather than saving up to pay cash
you will soon empty out all your stash.
Lenders never are nice.

[JustDaniel]

Credit lenders from cards are not nice
so to couples I give this advice,
Pay it off when it's due.
Every month give them every cent;
don't be lured by the "minimum" vent.
Pay it off, or you're screwed!

[Larry]

Pay it off or you’re screwed is like prose
you will hear from some goon with a nose
that’s been broken, not set.
He was sent by a bookie you’d call
if you wagered big bucks on baseball
and your team lost. Don’t bet!

[JustDaniel]

Only bet if you know the result
others don't and you are an adult;
you can fool them that way.
When it's over, give back what you won;
it could teach them they always should shun
any bets when they play.

[Larry]

Amy bets when they play a bad game
that there is always someone to blame
for their lack of success
but it’s never members of the team;
it’s the referee’s calls, which they deem,
make their record a mess.

[JustDaniel]

If you YouTube record the mess in your room
and you do it without shame
we may watch depression bloom;
we would encourage you to put away blame
and your dignity reclaim.

[Larry]

Hey Daniel,
You had me confused with your upside-down Lira so I wrote one back and then I continued the Loglimerhyme string.



facing the music

Reclaiming dignity’s rough
if you continue doing things that are wrong
and admissions aren’t enough
to forget for very long
when you keep on singing that same old sad song.


Now to continue the string:


If reclaiming your dignity’s sought
for that Loglimerhyme that you wrought
with a Lira-ish flair
where you mixed up the metrics in each
and the combinations were a reach
as I pulled out my hair.

[JustDaniel]

Well, I'm glad you have hair to pull out;
clear that my limberrhyme was, no doubt
due to writing with sleep
in my eyes, and my brain in a fog
like I just had a doctored egg nog.
Shoulda been countin' sheep!

[Larry]

Should have been counting sheep in my bed
but I thought I would stay up instead
and write Loglimerhymes
which I hope someone comes by to read
and perhaps we will finally succeed
filling our vacant climes.

[JustDaniel]

Could we fill up these long-vacant climes
with spectators here sharing in rhymes
I would fall down is shock
but get up and grasp hold of my pen
to write Loglimerhymes here, and then
join in guiding the flock.

[Larry]

If we ever have flocks we can guide
in improving their craft, not deride
with some caustic remarks,
I will help with that nurturing task
and within each gem’s light I shall bask
building fires from mere sparks.

[JustDaniel]

I enjoy turning sparks into fire
if the fuel that I find is not dire --
like a battery pack
in the trash that I'm burning to start
wood on fire; I've no wish to depart
'midst a fireworks attack.

[Larry]

In the midst of a fireworks attack
from my brother, I always shot back;
Roman Candles were fun
but the ones they are selling today
aren’t for battles. They’re too weak to play
and shoot like a squirt gun.

[JustDaniel]

If your squirt gun ain't up to a squirt
so you choose not to take off your shirt
don't be too awful sad;
you'll do other things to occupy
yourself all through the evening sky;
then you'll sleep in your pad.

[Larry]

If you sleep on your bed with a pad
I’d assume you’re real old or a lad
and control’s kind of lax
but my hearing’s not great and my dread
is that you spoke of I-pads instead
and you’re frightened of hacks.

[JustDaniel]

If you're one scared to death of the hacks
then you shouldn't get in so their backs
are what's staring at you;
maybe you should try riding with Lyft
where you sit up in front; it's a gift
to your nerves in a stew.

[Larry]

Are your nerves all on edge in a stew
as you contemplate what you should do
when life’s troubles emerge?
Why not let someone else bear that load
and let faith guide you down the rough road
so your spirit can surge.
