Shrew Stew

[Schirf]

I have made a new stew
the base goo they call roux
down there on the bayou
where they tour by canoe

It tasted like glue
so I threw in a slew
of things you can chew
celery, carrots, beaucoup!
and onions; just two
and some meat of the shrew
roasted golden of hue
on a skewer (bamboo)
that I dipped into
a rich cheese fondue
I used cheddar, not blue
no, that would not do
it would tastes like a shoe

then I let the mix brew
and sang ballyhoo
while my crew blew kazoo
or played didgeridoo

and when we were through
they all stood in a queue
we were long overdue
for a bowl of the debut
and none did eschew
nor boo in review
as they bid me adieu
and ran off to the loo

Your reputation just grew!
Good for you!

[Macbeth]

This is all true;
'Twas my experience, too.

[Galuhad]

Haha, I like it

[elvyen]

While laughing, I knew
after reading this through
that i'd add rep to you.
and soon see it accrue!

[Budgeford]

/cheer
Hilarious!

[talonjendro]

What can you do
to lure the shrew
to Khazad Dum
to mix the stew
with crawler meat, too?
and maybe soon
the Dwarf chef's stew
will be added to
and we will do

Shrew Stew Part Deux!

[karakedi]

No squirrels in view--
They all quickly flew:
I see only a shrew.
No Brunswick stew
can I hope to do:
get ready to chew
shrew I'll imbue
with spices a few
plus taters too
and broth for you.

Great job Schirf!

A poem that rhymes the entire way through!!



PS. Mr. Monk would approve of this poem=)

[sir-rinthian]

The OP is quite shrewd

[Earedhel]

A Shrew Haiku

If only they knew
a haiku about a shrew
is a big to-do!

[TheOneRinger]

Most excellent!

[Schirf]

Thank you, thank you... I'm here all week. Tip your waiters... try the fish.

Very nice,

Finally someone took the shrew "debate" and made something useful.

Nice poem, I hope that an artistic/creative post like your's will get at least as much hit and replies as the schizophrenic PETA lover thread did...

Art is worth commenting, useless nonsense ain't!

Cheers.

Since most of the time people react to criticism, I will do one smart-4ss yet proactive and appreciative critic

I like the fact that you added a few french word to your poem... the only problem is that they do not rhyme.

Beaucoup is fine but fondue, début and adieu are not. Their pronunciation don't go with the shrew, stew...

Cheers (bis)

I want to emphasize on the FACT that I like that you used french... It's not a post from a frustrated french Canadian!

Cheers (bis) (bis)

Pronounce fondue, debut, and adieu with an American accent and they rhyme with shrew and stew.

For rhyming, this is true. Mon Dieu! I did it too! Oh poo!

[lunafatal]

Pronounced with and American accent... Now we have to localize American... Mexican, Afro, Southern and the list goes on an on... Hey! Canada is in America too! you know that Larger piece of land on top of the U.S.

Sure, as an Artist you can type... It was intended to be pronounced with such and such accent... But I think that it's just an excuse... That place that you put your car in... a Garage... It's a french word too and the pronunciation is the exact same.

So your argument is valid (so is mine)

Oh. any non-flaming reply on this thread gets rep (as much as I can in 24hr)

Cheers
