Beekay 2,767 Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 So Jill, your saying I lack imaginivity and originality. Thanks for that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 8,452 Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 It's very difficult to say anything, Beekay, when you have your tongue firmly in your cheek! . I think you've invented a new word there, by the way. Well done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 6,584 Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 Phil, I’ve been googling, and apparently, ‘door hinge’ is a close rhyme for ‘orange’. The only exact rhyme is ‘sporange’ which is some king of botanical term, I think. On a similar note, what rhymes with ‘purple’? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 4,252 Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 Well the current one, Simon Armitage, certainly nauseates me. He was on the Today Programme recently reciting a load of doggerel which was worthy of William McGonagal. When you think of people like Masefield and Tennyson, to name but a couple, he is insignificant. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 4,252 Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 I had a turtle, it was purple Everybody stared I took it to the turtle show To see how well it fared. It won first prize, so now you know The purple turtle was the best in show. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 8,452 Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 There's also kirtle, myrtle or even spurtle or spyrtle as it was originally spelled, I believe. A stick for stirring porridge. What's the betting Ben has an old flame named Myrtle? If she wore a kirtle, she'd be very very old indeed!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 4,252 Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 We do have a couple of spurtles in stock. I reminds me the porridge season is nearly here. Must get some in. I prefer the jumbo oats. There's a basis for a limerick there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 8,452 Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 If it has owt to do with oats, especially wild ones, you'd better ask Ben. He's the expert! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 4,252 Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 There once was a young man called Ben Who sowed his wild oats now and then. He took out his spurtle and frightened poor Myrtle Who vowed not to see him again. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
