Pat Adams Poet Couplet

Homonym Carnival Rules

The aide will aid you right away
Names of guests are guessed today
Wines not allowed, don't whine aloud
Drop your watch and watch the crowd

Don't nod your head you may be gnawed
And still be still and not applaud
The band is banned to play Do- Wop
Don't break the brake or you won't stop

The course is coarse so hold on tight
That last phase may faze you tonight
A scent is sent for you to smell
Remove your rings to ring the bell

You will go forth at fourth by heck
If a herd is heard then hit the deck!

Michelle Faulkner March 16, 2018 at 9:39 AM Adding my admiration to all the others - so much fun to read! I'll have to try something like this- Pat Adams March 16, 2018 at 7:21 PM Wow! You are so kind and I appreciate your visits. I will be checking up on you as well......Thank you so much. patrick

Dale Gregory Cozart March 14, 2018 at 1:20 PM Very clever. This could also be a sonnet! Pat Adams March 14, 2018 at 3:10 PM I'll have to look that one up again I guess. A sonnet in my bonnet means a feather in my cap! Right?? Thank you much for the comment and always good to hear from you!!...........patrick

Caren Krutsinger March 14, 2018 at 3:42 AM You have made this seem effortless, and there is no way in the world it could have been. I had to look back at the title to see what I was reading as it unfolded so skillfully! Pat Adams March 14, 2018 at 3:07 PM Wow! Thank you Caren with a "C". Actually it took a while. Words that sound the same but have different meanings are fair fodder for someone who loves word play. I found a list of over 700, printed, and put them in a folder. Ammunition for a wise guy!! Nice to meet you and thank you so much for your wonderful comments!!...80)...pat

Cheryl Hoffman March 13, 2018 at 8:47 PM Especially if the herd is the running of the bull dogs lol! Great word play in this clever write Pat!~Che :) Pat Adams March 14, 2018 at 1:10 AM Thank you Cheryl. Bull dogs?? Ok! why not!........pat

Line Gauthier March 13, 2018 at 8:09 PM Great rules - loved your last line, Pat. Pat Adams March 14, 2018 at 1:09 AM Thank you much! I guess it's obvious I haven't really read up on poem writing rules and that I'm really just winging it huh??...........80)
