The Biggest Poem Ever

[davis_greatest]

Thought I would start a thread with the world's biggest poem. Well, let's see.

Here are the rules:

- You can only post one line of the poem at a time.

- The poem will be divided into verses (stanzas) of 4 lines each.

- The 3rd line of each verse must rhyme with the 1st line. The 4th line must rhyme with the 2nd.

- Once each verse of 4 lines is finished, the next person writes the first line of the next verse.

Hopefully someone will add to this, or it could be the Shortest Poem Ever. I'll start with the first line:

There's a game with balls called snooker,

[JohnHigginsFan]

There's a game with balls called snooker,
which was invented a long time ago

[davis_greatest]

There was a ref who was quite a looker

[JohnHigginsFan]

p.s. when I read your headline, davis_greatest, I thought I could post my favourite poem here... As I walked out one evening by W. H. Auden, very long, I tell you! ;-)

That line is too long and doesn't rhyme!

OK, we're on:

There was a ref who was quite a looker

[JohnHigginsFan]

There's a game with balls called snooker,
which was invented a long time ago
There was a ref who was quite a looker
forgot to count till time became snow (HO HO!)


(sounds like a Limerick )
