There was a rocket
That pulled everything out of socket
And started to really rock it
Rock the world
Because this ordinary rocket
Hid in a politician's pocket
Which pulled the government out of socket
Exploded
Right in the politician's pocket

See? That's what you get when you leave me to my own devices.

Has any of you read "What Katy Did at School"? Yes? Good! You know what game it is I am about to propose! No? Well, I had better explain it for you then! Word and question game is an awesome game that I first heard about in "What Katy Did at School", and I have always wanted to play it with people, but have lacked writers with inspiration with which to play it. (Don't ask why it took me so long to make this thread. ) The rules are simple: You write a random word, and you write a random question. Neither word nor question has to be related. In fact, as far from related as you can get makes the challenge even more fun. The next poster then has to write a poem of at the least two lines that both a) answers the question, and b) uses the word. For example: Word: Buttons Question: What is the best way to make a home happy? Answer: (poem) To me 'tis quite clear I can answer this right: Sew on the buttons, and sew them on tight. - Taken from "What Katy Did at School", yes I cheated. It can get quite funny at times, and it doesn't really have to make sense! Now there it is. I shall start you off with a word and question that is relatively simple to begin with: Word: Mouse Question: Where do you play?

It only has to be two lines, Balec, and it doesn't have to make sense.

No, that's okay. Elizabeth can do it (I've been a little busy lately anyway)

Words drop from the sky like rain and dead leaves No – words are cooked up in an old magic kettle No – words are thought up by the great ponderous beeves No – words are forged bright like the smith forges metal No – words – they just happen, I think, sure and slow No – I think – I don't know.... Word: Loud Question: Is the dormouse really always asleep? (I love this game!)

(Love your poem, Rwebhu! and all the rest of these also!) Loud, loud, the thunderheads speak While deep in the floorboards The dormouse feigns sleep Hum, hum, the thunderheads groan While under the table The dormouse does moan Break, break, the thunderheads snap While beside the lamp stand Two dormouse eyes crack Rain, rain, the thunderheads hiss While under the thunder The dormouse hears this Foom, foom, the thunderheads shout While just from the doorway The dormouse sneaks out Word: Simplicity Question: What lies beyond?

What lies beyond this life of ours Its sad or golden hours? Eternity ‘tis stands beyond – That blissful, glorious land. Sincerity? Is that enough To open Heaven’s gate? Or word, or deed, or aught of ours To pay the price of sin? Simplicity! His grace is all That brings us unto God! He through His Son hath mercy shown And now, I stand redeemed. So now and ever, all my song, My joy, my life, my all Are unto Him, Who loved me so, And paid my debt of sin. My risen Lord, my conq’ring King, Has won the victory! And through that vast eternity I’ll joy to sing His praise. Word: Autumn Question: What is one thing you should never do at a funeral?

(Thankyou, Caeli. * smiles * This is really challenging.) Watch them buried Make no sound See the hole in the chilly ground Never cry, never cry, never cry Humans fall like autumn leaves Paper faced and laughter dry A wise young child never grieves Watch them buried Never cry Word: Rocket Question: Why did the US government shut down?

Whence does she come from? Her author knows that, sort of. What will happen to her? I guess we all get to find out. Word: Hope Question: What causes the wind to blow?

I didn't notice this thread had taken off again! Yay! Caeli wrote: Word: Dust Question: Why does the fiddle sing? Dancing in the sunlight, The particles come to play. Sparkling, swirling, flying, In the brightest part of day. The rosin on the fiddle bow, It tickles the morning light. Spraying, flaying, fraying, To make the music bright. Across the fiddle strings it flies, In clouds of magic dust, Flinging, singing, ringing, It sings because it must. Word: Rain. Question: What are smiles made of?

BushMaid wrote: Word: Rain. Question: What are smiles made of? Okay, I shall have a go... When rain sprinkles down from above Meeting the earth with a kiss of love Igniting the world with a fresh scent That's what smiles are made of. When a bird lands upon a nest, a dove Feeding her babies with a motherly shove Hushing their cries with a spread of wings That's what smiles are made of. When music rises up by the octave Spinning a story, words elusive With notes and keys and pedals fast That's what smiles are made of. The rhyming got a bit messed up at the end, but oh well.
