The Never Ending Poem...
No idea if this has been done before. But it probably has, so sorry in advance if it has.
The idea of this 'game' is simple. Almost a mixture of 'Fortunately / Unfortunately' and 'Be careful what you wish for' in its arrangement. We begin an epic quest into the unknown, the unusual and the down right stupid. I'll begin the proceedings; so don't worry (or maybe you should, actually). I'll write a line of a poem, and then the next person will add two lines. It must be in rhyming couplets, so hopefully, it'll go like this: One Downer: "Old Tom Bombadill is a merry fellow" Second Downer: Quote:
So he went to the doctors for a check," Third: Quote:
At old Tom's face and his feet" ... Hope that's all understood. Here goeth the adventure that will go down in history and last a lunchtime! "In ancient times, a tale began..." Good luck folk.
