Win Wayfriend's Money

Hey, YOU try rhyming 'crepuscular' and still manage to muster some coherent funny.

Do it well enough, and you could Win Wayfriend's Money.

Into the darkness we bravely venture,
A burnt light bulb the cause of our adventure.
The room is worse than crepuscular,
The thought of a light - spectacular.
Yet we keep on groping, like a man seeking his denture!

Are we lights or mere gnats?
That is what I once asked.
A friend took me to look at a chiaroscuro.
I was awed at the sight: a mosque. Oh no!
I knew then that I'll never be more than an ant.

Many might wonder, what's S.B. Shoe's deal with those ants?
He mentions them here, he sings of them there. Like pants
that are too tight, he just never stops to mention
Those damn crawlers that cause us formication!
Enough we all tell him. Aren't there limits to such taunts???

My last, and worst one yet, I think. Hope you liked them Wayfriend.

The problem with that is once I have money, Jenn or Menolly harasses me until I give it to one of them. Then, in order to try to get something in return and at least try to keep it fair, I'd have to resort to making them do silly rhymes and stuff to 'earn' the money. And we all know where that leads to.....

Something like this for my avatar?

Menolly's crepuscular assatar
Was aimed straight at dAN from away afar.
But the LION was tight
With chiaroscuro might
And refused to be swayed by her brief attire.

(You have to pronounce "attire" like a West Virginian to get the rhyme to work -- the long "i" should sound like the "a" in "tar".)

(Oh, never mind.)

I would vote for the above, but none of the sentences end with one of the words...

Crap, missed that part of the rules. Back to the drawing board....

Edit: Okay, try this.

Menolly's French maid is quite muscular
At activities so crepuscular,
dAN's liable to go
Chiaroscuro
And then become even more lust-ular.

Oh, leave me alone! It is *too* a word!

Once long ago a quite stoned and hostile wino
crashed Kevin's barbecue party
But though it was crepuscular
Bannor could see enough to grab his jugular
That was how swiftly the Bloodguard dealt with such fellows.

The lovely maid was indeed puissant
as she gazed at him with evil intent
and painted an enticing chiaroscuro
designed to make his dollars obscuro

But the lion; oh, wary was he
for he knew such beauty never comes free
and the maid only promised a sweet elation
that would soon feel like foul formication

So he fled on limbs quite solid and muscular
or so they seemed in the dimness crepuscular
memories of his ex were the only medicament
needed to help escape his predicament

As the lion left the maid leagues behind
a quaint little limerick ran through his mind
"You only wanted me for my money;
but you aren't getting it, no way honey!"

Hey, I never claimed to be a poet.

So far, the Leonine One has my vote...
...but, that can change.

As with Linden, I reserve judgment until all is submitted.

Well, technically dAN's poem was not in limerick format.

Zackly. Syllables per line required for a limerick: 10-10-5-5-10.

Well...

Picky, picky, pick.
Unfortunately, Wikipedia agrees with y'all...

Sorry, Leonine One.
