For this game, I would like to try something new, a cross between an anagram and, well I'm not sure. What you need to do is to pick a movie, book, or famous person quote or whatever and change each word in order. The catch? The word you use as replacement must rhyme with the word being replaced. Sound confusing? That's because I'm trying to explain it. :) So I'll use an example.
Sentence before meddling:
Live free or die
Sentence after meddling:
Give me your pie
Rules:
The new sentence must make sense.
Please use an original sentence that is at least six words long.
The new sentence does not have to do anything with the original. Bonus points if it does.
No slant rhymes. Perfection is required. (But no one is perfect so I'll try not to be too picky.)
No bribes accepted, though I wouldn't mind a pie.
Post the original quote/phrase and then your "translation".
Any questions? May the best person win.

To be, or not to be? That is the question.

Ahhhhh!!! Sorry I let this go so long. Are there any other entries? I'll try to decide tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI've been so busy I didn't notice Fromagette! :)
ReplyDeleteWhere are you Fromagette? :)
ReplyDeleteDelirious, do you mean physically, emotionally, or mentally? Because I don't think I can account for myself in any of those areas. Being recently called to be the ward choir director and being mom to two small children will do that to anyone. :)
ReplyDeleteAs for the game, I'll have to go with Inklings' "jenny" sentence.
Good job everyone and thank you for being patient!
Ha ha...i hear you! The "two small children" part is enough in itself! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Fromagette. I already have a game in mind. :0)
