S1Ep9: Too Much Rhyming!

Friends Michelle and Ilene tell you as they glean swell mean melodies with their jelly beans.

This week we discuss pre-performance rituals, the shortcomings of car bluetooth, and objects with bad street cred.

This week's prompt: Too Much Rhyming

  • Ilene's Song: Mr. Nice Guy

  • Michelle's song: Crow Flows

  • Friendship song: The Spell

Lyrics

  • By: Ilene

    Doling out cash

    To the needy and the weary

    Gotta lotta fans

    Dan and Stan and Lynn and Gary

    And Mary and Carrie and Larry

    And every Beverly you’ve ever seen

    You’re a nice guy

    But a little bit brittle

    It’ll be a white lie

    In the middle of a riddle 

    Kid’ll see a bright light,

    Whittle nettles into petals

    Bet he’ll ride high, 

    Jet’ll fly by, Mister Nice Guy

    Oh i'm home alone

    in my own zone

    I hear the ringtone

    of my phone

    caller unknown

    so it gets thrown

    gainst the window

    get out the hose

    strike a pose

    how was i to know

    our love was faux

    lo!

    opposed

    as foes

    so it goes

    as the crow flows

    i smell the rose

    with my nose

    touch my toes

    why our time was sublime

    but you crossed the line

    with your crime

    which made it kind of fine

    i saw the sign and pine

    i can't rewind

    to when we first dined

    and wined

    you were the fruit i was the rind

    peel me off

    i don't mind

    please don't scoff

    at what you find

    as you often do

    oh you weren't true

    i

    knew

    your lie

    was see through

    my guy is temu

    he smokes green trees

    to ease his disease

    three reasons

    mean i'm displeased

    on the bus

    thrust against trust

    the air was must

    your hair i tussed

    you cussed with lust

    easy teasing

    oh you must

    stop the hot thought

    not now

    dropping trow

    get a towel

    oh you're foul mouthed

    out of your league

    it don't feel real

    i'm a settler

    cause i could do better

    But you prefer her

    i defer

    you concur

    lay my fate

    to your hate

    every date

    you are late

    a cold plate

    as i wait

    and work up

    in a state

    i contemplate

    To god I pray

    But your appetite i could not sate

    I won't stay

    Amicitia, Gaudium, Fortuna, venite ad nos hac nocte.


    At six to eleven we gather the seven

    Our friendship attentive to all of our brethren


    On the top of the hill a fine wine you must spill

    For a chance to enhance until you get your fill


    Be joy peace or power we come to the hour

    Three golden rocks you must stack in a tower


    Whatever the weather together we tether

    Our fortune a portion to make one life better


    In the darkness of night we’ve forsaken our sight

    To give all for the one but the one must hold tight


    Here someone dear will enjoy a whole year

    Of riches untold if you keep your friends near


    Amicitia, Gaudium, Fortuna dona nobis pacem.
