I built my home in an Oak tree
yes, my home is a tree house
Sitting high my view is Italy
My only company, a tree mouse




granite
opposite
potato
mow

[Sir Daniel]

They say you can't grow anything on granite
I think it's quite the opposite
I mixxed a little grass seed with a potato
And now I have a whole driveway to mow




airplane * candy-cane * stinky socks * pet rocks

[Marlys]

They say you can't grow anything on granite
I think it's quite the opposite
I mixed a little grass seed with a potato
And now I have a whole driveway to mow




airplane * candy-cane * stinky socks * pet rocks

That is so good Daniel!

My worst trip on an airplane
I kept smelling stinky socks
one seat mate was sucking on a candy-cane
the other played with his pet rocks

beef jerky
murky
lame

That is so good Daniel!

My worst trip on an airplane
I kept smelling stinky socks
one seat mate was sucking on a candy-cane
the other played with his pet rocks

beef jerky
murky
lame
came

Wow! good job!


I really can't stand beef jerky.
The lake water is way too murky.
This camping trip is really lame.
Gosh! I am so sorry I came!!!


whistle
thistle
chisel
pistol

[Marlys]

I had some wood that I did chisel
while I worked, I thought I'd whistle
I worked around the thorny thistle
until my wood looked like a pistol



planet
granite
grown
thrown

[Janice Kennedy]

I use to live on a planet
That was made of pure granite
Where not many people were grown
Until some rocks they had thrown




dock
block
gem
limb

[Sir Daniel]

Due to an accident down at the dock
I lost my left arm on a block
But if my story has at all a gem
It's that I didn't loose the other limb



chu-chu train
John McCain
imagine that
democrat

[Janice Kennedy]

He has more brains than a chu-chu train
That guy running for president, John McCain
Can you really imagine that
And, he sure ain't no democrat




republican
scan
possum
awesome

[Sir Daniel]

Looking down the road I scan
Going to find me a new Republican
All I see is a rat and a possum
So I signed them up to vote, awesome!


vanilla
fella
frog
egg-nog

[Janice Kennedy]

My favorite isn't vanilla
He sure is a plain fella
But, my pet frog
Sure likes egg-nog


barley
parley
garble
marble

[ImSaved2]

We met for a parley
Over a bowl of barley
I choked on a marble
And started to garble

History
Mystery
Ooze
Snooze

[wvhillbilly47]

Ah, so many deeds in the halls of history,
Accomplished, yet shrouded in mystery;
Were they done whils't "good" did snooze,
Allowing "evil" to brew to fruition and ooze?

complexity
verocity
rendition
condition

[ImSaved2]

Sheila,

I wasn't sure what verocity meant, so I looked for it in the dictionary. However, I couldn't find it in good ole Websters. So, I tried dictionary.com, and still no luck!

I'm wondering if it was a typo and you meant veracity? The definition for veracity is: Habitual observance of truth in speech or statement: truthfulness.

Please let us know! I probably won't be writing the response for this one. I am leaving to go camping in just a little bit for the weekend! But these are great words! Someone will have fun with this! ((Jeanette)

[wvhillbilly47]

Yep.......veracity it iz...ooop scan't spel worth a drither!
tee hee
Sheila...hav fun somebody....and have fun on the camping trip 2!!

[Sir Daniel]

Jeanette was lost by the complexity
Of the miss-spelled word "verocity"
She didn't have time to give her rendition
As camping was her current condition..
