Monoku String

Battle of the Sexes:
Over the best of three sets tennis history was made!

Acrostic Drugs:
Fall for oceanic allure, not cocaine.

Affection:
By the bubbling brook bees bond with buttercups.

Disillusion: 
My dreams are like soap bubbles – they keep popping.

Spoilsport:
He quashed all their ideas, but finally spared a thought!

Contest: 5 One Liners

Timothy Hicks Date: 2/24/2016 11:08:00 PM Cool monoku string. My favorites are Affection and Disillusion. The former for it's cutesy image and alliteration, the latter for it's humor at your own misfortune. I've read some of the entries to this contest, a little bit ago, but I never understood the "battle of the sexes" lines ... might have to explain! Lol... Login to Reply Paul Callus Date: 2/25/2016 1:11:00 PM I had forgotten about this contest! The Battle of the Sexes monoku was a must write, included in the rules. Mine deals with a challenge between a male and female tennis players, won by the female...thus it made history (poetically it has little value!). // paul
