Wow gemdiva, you busted out some serious rhymes on that keyboard, even better than my sister Katie. There/heir and appear/here are really good ones I never would’ve thought of, and whack/Jack is an excellent usage. I’d never heard of Edward Gorey before: the Mystery! introduction always felt like high art. I’m going to have to read more about him, he sounds like a fascinating guy.

Hi Mr. Policeman! Sure, I know where mommy is! Daddy discussed real loud with her then told her to take a flying leap. He helped…

Two last and final………….

4. Mycroft, a precocious lad
Went to the falls along with dad
He tripped and fell into the creek
Mum rents his room now by the week

5. The family outing went out of whack
When Dad went to the falls with Jack
His last words, it would appear
Were “I can see our house from here”.

3 with apologies to Edward Gorey

1. Daddy, the world’s biggest fool
Took little Andre to the Devil’s Pool
Andre slipped and took a dive
Now he’ll never see the age of five

2. Little Willy told his father
That the edge of the falls would be no bother
Daddy fell to his death down there
Now Willy’s Mummy’s only heir

3. Mr. Brown, a real raving git
Thought the edge was a good place to sit
To the rocks down below Little Timmy fell
Mr. Brown said “so sad, but the picture is swell”!

Mister Jones was bound and determined that Timmy would win the long jump competition, no matter what.

(I always have to laugh when I look at my kids YMCA swimming divisions….)

1. Exhibit 1 in the Mr. and Mrs. Smith child custody proceedings gave Mrs. Smith the advantage.

2. A little bit more to the right. No! MY RIGHT!

Isn’t that cute! Eggbert has expressed himself by pushing his little sister over the edge!
