Wedding Dress Waifs Near The Old Hat
Judge Trombones near his wits end, it’s that time of year again. Getting ready for the dance, asteroid Dahlias slipped on their best Sunday dresses, bathed in photon bubble baths. Prepped their hair once again in the industrial complex looking glasses, always satisfied idiosyncratic. Adding the final touch of class action suit ribbons.
Soon they all loaded in the retrofitted streetcar helped by the parking lot hands. All the support group dissidents headed towards the square, at the end, ready for the devise canis incurrer.
After a interesting ride they reached their destiation with looking glass widows over adenoma petersburg trade begrudge reverie maximilian bauxite destroy tambourine brash. Another one of the trombone tea parties defined by Carmela Battery, as an accession meeting place. Sponsored and severalty absorption by Satellite Guardian Angels and Photon Impresarios.
So many different types of people filled the Moom diagram room. Ballerina mastadons dancing with conform accept tailored submarine cowards from soul rapid recession. Clodhopper midwives matched with cargo bay ruffians sporting their ball bearing biceps.
Maw acknowledge axle harvard reactor philosophers authenticate satiric with prime minister gonads and necromancer maestros. Omphalos dissidents over events of the day. Cursing demon cowards living with, line dancer taxidermists taking turns also living with cactus plebeian ponts.
Short order cook widows living with football team mastadons. Preparing a buffet, turnip cassorie, made with bullish cornmeal.
Dietary fiancee Hutchison made sure the scooby snack swamps dish was always full it was a favorte. Silatory sawfish
Looking glass widows over adenoma petersburg trade begrudge

On the other side of the dance floor dreadful Bobbie, alongside Swan Kahn Seriatim was forming an alliance anonymous to gather a Carmela Postmaster affair poesy. Everyone knew she was sleeping with Judge’s son Cowboy Trombones. If the old man ever finds oh oh
cuprous thorstein theocracy. She is his cheap, cheating wife.
Oh well beyond, because, who cares back to the dance. Have fun ya’ll.
The All-girl Band Goes to the Gynecologist
by Elise
Recently, during one of our monthly trombone tea parties defined by cuprous thorstein theocracy, we decided that we had all been taking too many photon 4698 bubble baths. It seems that during our swan kahn seriatim, we had all contracted a severalty absorption problem. Alarmed about it, the alchemist 397 tenors along with somnambulist trombone players came out of their reverie maximilian bauxite, and rushed off to the gynecologist.
On arrival, it was discovered that the waiting room was full of cargo bay 78 ruffians with their ball bearing 973 biceps.
A bit intimidated by this, the alliance anonymous chose to sit around a corner by the always satisfied idiosyncratic ballerina 00 mastadons.
The demon coward Sylvia was the first to be called. Sylvia, whose dolt was a bit square at the end, went timidly back to the exam room.
Soon, dreadful bobbie, one of the clodhopper 52 midwives, entered the exam avogadro with her dilatory sawfish. Sylvia watched her decelerate the modulus opiate, and begin her exam. Dreaful bobbie soon pointed to the Moom diagram, and outlined Sylvia's hurst macroscopic covary. She then began to devise canis incurrer to remedy the problem.
After the exam, Sylvia admitted to living with the reactor 0221 philosophers, which had probably contributed to the
severalty absorption and the perplex cyanamid discoloration of her nectar employ bomb.
One by one the rest of us were examined by the
maw acknowledge axle harvard graduate. It seemed we all suffered Sylvia's fate, except for the judge trombones near, who suffered from a severe case of fordham already harpsichord agglutinat.
After this experience, it was decided that we would destroy the tambourine brash, along with all of the omphalos dissidents over 76. With a sigh of relief, we planned our next meeting around the support group 709 dissidents, and remembered to invite the satellite 16 guardian angels.
Bankrupt buying his wedding dress, he felt his brain would agglutinate
But he was no coward living with turnips, so he dialled 4-6-9-8
An alchemist with ball-bearing biceps, who once employed nectar to create a bomb
Who also belonged to a support group, took his call with aplomb
The groom spilled out his soul, in anguish, as faust to mephistopheles
His eyes became like a dilatory sawfish, when he heard a tenor sing in glee!
He could also hear a trombone, a harpischord and a baroque orchestra
He wondered if he had taken too much of opiates or burnt by the Sun God, Ra!
Was he possessed by a demon, or in a necromantic caprice
To wake up from the nightmare, tried everything he could devise
Now, the alchemist at the other end, was an insane ruffian
524819 photons had struck him from his own bomb's, nuclear reaction!
The groom suspected he was up against more than an industrial battery
So thinking, he hung up the receiver in an unseemly jiffy
Meanwhile his bride Sylvia, waited anxiously in the peterburg church
You know, the one that is at the end of Louvre square near the harvard birch.
She had play-acted as a ballerina at 2 and a cowboy at 9
Also had an affair with the postmaster, but it didn't work out fine!
She had once tried to commit suicide with an antacid overdose
She had also sprayed water on the primeminister with a black hose!
Sylvia also had been under several dietary restrictions
To get thin as a waif before the wedding because of flawed convictions!
She had ordered her cook whom she was living with, to only make scooby snacks
She ate these with tomato ketchup as she was scared of "obesity attacks" !
Now, where the hell was her fiancee, with whom her alliance had been fixed
Where was his luxury retro-fitted streetcar, why did his arrival get so jinxed?!
She sent her employer to investigate the parking lots around nottingham
Her boss agreed, as being a guest, he wanted to help her keep calm
Carmela, her bridesmaid with glasses , dressed up like a guardian angel
Had had 52 bubble baths in her lifetime, and today had dabbed on the asteroid gel
Carmela had a nasty satiric streak and brought forth a complex explanation
May be groom was shopping for ribbons and dahlias; it was a trifle insane for absorption!
Now a funny looking impresario, who was also Richards' friend
Came forward like a busyboy and did his best to defend
Don't begrudge Richards, he said, you are not qualified to judge!
That, he has been kind to one & all, you just have to acknowledge.
To everyone's relief, the groom finally came in clutching a tambourine
Had taken the dress on credit from the tailor & had taken the time to preen
He was a taxidermist by occupation and lived solely on cornmeal
He was so much in poverty, he really couldn't afford any veal !
At 20 he had been offered a place in the national football teams
But foolishly he had rejected it and chosen to research on reams
Well let me not detract you any further from the wedding of the "aristocracy"
It was at last conducted by a fretful member of the theocracy.
Oh well, this tale has not been so macroscopic in its sweep, but it really has to end
Furthermore, I have to return to my bog, where I have a blue scroll to tend! ;D
-Gob a.k.a Erato
PS: You are all cordially invited to Sylvia and Richards tea party
at my Bog ;-)
Oops, sorry for the formatting. I tried to introduce
a style span element that would've preserved the look
of the meter, but the comment mode doesn't allow tags. :(
FUN work folks!...curious that no one opted for the 'subtractive' approach to the spam phrase list (i.e., using the list as the SOLE vocabulary)...everyone wanted to augment what was supplied with their own vocabulary/written creativity....(do we, as poets/writers reflexively reject the 'vocabulary limit'?)....
....the attempts read like a Lewis Carroll narrative!...interesting too, that all three attempts clearly showed a unique poetic voice...a triumph of the individual over the (mass) commercial!...I think....
...order out of chaos......I note that when creative poeple are confronted with randomness, the preferred coping technique is story telling...constructing a narrative (however slim/obscure) seems to be a survival strategy.....anthropologically speaking.......MR
