Tic Tac Toe Tornado

I’m ready for
Tic Tac Toe
Cause I got
my own rhymes to show
Watch me shine
My X’s are always in a row
Can you feel the room react
as it feels my glow
The Tickity Tac Tac
Clackity Clack Clack
Ricky Rhyme Time Show

My measures 
don’t need tethers
I’m the man
for any kinda weather
High or low pressure 
I’m a national treasure 
No cold front here
Just sunshine and pleasure
No need for a sweater 
Cause Baby 
you rock that leather

You can’t stop
Fast and Furious
I’m the White Tornado
Bright enough for New York City
Cool enough to cruise Colorado
Driving my tricked out Eldorado
Others can brag
I show and tell
My musical bravado

Now it seems Trim the Trimmer
Has served me up for dinner
His words more potent
Than 100 proof liquor 
They percolate and simmer
Rhyming sub-textually
Flowing quicker and quicker
Always the right mixture 
So as his Rhymes grow brighter 
Mine grow dimmer
Time to throw down the mike
and declare Trim the Trimmer
the Tic Tac Toe Award Winner.



Ricky Rhyme Time Rides again
Dedicated to The Rhyme Master Trim.
Just having a bit of fun playing in his sand box.


Inspired by Nick Trim’s “Trim Trimmer Chicken Dinner Winner”.

You make Tic Tac Toe sound so exciting. "Cause I got my own rhymes to show, watch me shine" I am watching and smiling, all at the same time. This is so cute, clever and creative. :) Brandy

Your rhymes are so creative and fun to read - here I think I like 'cruise Colorado/in my tricked out Eldorado' the best' - I would crown you the winner :)
