Friday Fling #241 for July 19th 2013
It’s midsummer and we’re in a happy mood.
We saw the Danny Kaye movie The Court Jester on TCM recently
and got a kick out of the wordplay before the joust scene.

So we thought, let’s do tonguetwisty wordplay involving multiple rhymes,
drawing inspiration from the Danny Kaye and Bob Hope routines in the video.
No particular format or topic,
just as long as your poem includes multiple rhymes,
especially if they might tend to have a tonguetwisting effect!
Here’s a Limerick I wrote for this challenge
to serve as an example of what might work:
Witchy Fanny Rimes collected dimes
while Mammy Tammy Grimes lost some sometimes.
When Fanny met Mammy Tammy,
Fanny conjured a double whammy,
but instead of dimes, Tammy dropped rhymes.

This week the Friday Fling parties hearty in midsummer
with tonguetwisty rhymes!
Be sure to save time to read and comment straightly
on your fellow Pals tonguetwisting efforts.
Then go enjoy a happy summer weekend!
