No Clue Et Cetera

No Clue Et Cetera You know I haven’t got a clue When it comes to pleasing you You challenge me to write a poem In hopes of first place to bring home You know at first I did it wrong Skipped two words that did belong But now I think I'm back on track It's not for trying that I lack I haven’t got a clue where this poem is going When I’m typing some words and seeing what’s showing Comes to what you have in mind Pleasing you in rhythm and rhyme You see I have some words inside Challenge me and I decide To write in some ungodly form A poem that is outside my norm In hopes that you’ll take pity Of first this humble ditty Place this poem high in your ranking To bring home my eternal thanking Mdailey 3/4/12

..you must use the words fron your 1st 4 lines in the ORDER they appear. BUT it doesn't matter WHERE they come in the lines for your next verse. [[YOU KNOW needs to be used BEFORE you use ..I haven't got a clue] ex: I will write a tome for you [YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T] done that before [a clue] I'll give to you [WHEN IT ] pleases I'll ask the score...work some more on it please do!

You must put [you] or [you know] or [you know I] in the first sentence of your second verse..you could use the WHOLE SENTENCE and add on ex: You know I haven’t got a clue of how to write on cue! [all I did was add the last 2 words [on cue]When it comes to pleasing you [who knew?]
