I'd like to engage in
more rhyming riposte
But with hunger my family is
reeling
And I've a chicken I must roast
I'll take
teas again soon --the challenge is
appealing--
well I tried. . .

If in iambic meter --

Yes, it seems the fun
has fled
Much stress lies upon our beloved Scooby
gang
THings seemed more joyfull when Spike and Buffy
were abed
However after each interlude Buffy's head
did hang
Will the joyful(?) days of Buffy
fun
Return and make us smile?
Perhaps if Buffy
starts to pun,
We'll be on the sunny street a
while.
I think perhpas the point is this
New
types of fun are ahead
When old enemies start to
kiss
Friends and other folks might end up
dead
Was it ever fun, I think Buffy would
ask
And then take all those naysayers to
task!

As I have said before, one "secret" goal
. . .

. . . is "grow" a band
of slayer-sonneteers.
The purpose of that goal's
a mystery. <smile>
But over time
perhaps twill be revealed.

This rhyming thin is
rather hard,
As is Buffy's cross and stake.
If I'd
beeen dealt the Slayer card,
I fear I'd have been
dubbed a fake.
It is my dream, my fondest
hope
(I say this feeling a bit gun shy)
To one day
slay a vamp in a stick of oak
(I yearn to do this, I
don't know why!)
So, on Tuesday nights I sit and
watch
The players who are well rehearsed.
All the
shows I am gld to catch!
In Buffly lore I am well
versed.
As a Watcher I would probably
excell!
Why, on Tuesday nights--I watch very
well!

is surely an old topic
for this board.
Has all the fun in
Buffy left the scene?
Has Buffy's joyful
Ox been fat'lly gored.
