Someone prays before each meal,
And jugged hare on the menu places,
Then we would correctly feel
That they’d have put on hares and graces?

Successful airline owners may
Pass on to higher things, one day –
At wake there will be,
Indubitably,
A most impressive heir display!

Should there be an air* stuck in your ear,
Don’t try, when you go diving,
To use it for breath, or else I fear
You’ll end up not surviving.

A shopkeeper was selling short,
But by a customer was caught:
He had a nifty gadget there
To push the scale with compressed air.
So all the items, by weight, bought,
Would seem to weigh more than they ought;
It didn’t seem the man to faze
When shown the airer of his weighs.
Said airily, ‘But weren’t you taught
Air air-vidently weighs near naught?’
(Barometer brought to desp-air
Air-tempt, with science, to get cl-air.)

An aeroplane
Can be a pain
With, sky-high, prices flying;
Then how much less
One could, I guess,
Go aero-fancy buying!
6
If hares should mildly urinate
Beware of a distressing fate –
A technical itch in a tender spot
From gentle hare pees you might have got.
I read them all
and in desp-air
which one to vote?
Was in the air
“Was in the air?”
I f-airly reflected in awe
And airily voted
fer number four 😀

I was proud of each rhyme,
And liked them all heap-ly,
For votes, few took time,
Has wounded me deeply!
I also do feel
The best one you chiz, now;
Own vote would reveal
That that the one is, now!

Looks like #4 is the front runner! Of course, the scales may have been weighted in its favor!

I wonder if all languages lend themselves to abuse to the extent English does? I suppose they must, although I have difficulty imagining doing it in Zulu.

English has a particular structure: grammar 70% german, vocabulary 70% french. But i’m sure most languages have their own “calmbours” or “contrepèteries” (a rather saucy double-meaning form inverting syllables and/or letters) I seldom – unless prompted – play on words in english. Maybe because it’s not my mother tongue, rather my father tongue. English paternal grandmother and all that. Keep up the good w-air-k Col.
