The verbosity challenge

[marval]

When you are not in the interior of a four-legged canine, something containing many pages, created by a person who has good ideas will be the closest to a male human.

Well done John, sorry I made it a bit difficult.

Don't worry Margaret, I'm about to get my revenge :smirk:....

You are entitled to escort a female employee of what in modern times is commonly referred to as the "sex industry", to places of academic learning, places of high quality entertainment, places of historic interest or whatever other places or events may be said to represent the highest achievements of a society, from which a strong sense of collective identity is derived, but you will not be able to compel the aforementioned female to employ the myriads of neural connections contained in the highly convoluted organ within her cranium for any constructive purpose.

That was a good one John, well done Buttercup.



If the sun was shining and all the beautiful flowers were in bloom, and the sky was an azure blue, would you like me to say that it reminded me of someone I loved, and would you be pleased to be likened to such a wonderful time.

 

[jhnbrbr]

Is it "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"?

And it's such a poignant and wonderfully heartwrenching sonnet, eh? Dreamy in its simplicity and burning in its insight - thanks Margaret for reminding me of it.

Here's my latest:

When a person who has mastered the technics associated with the provision of good affect is seen to be old (especially if playing a cousin to the rebec) then the result improves, like red wine, with age.

 

[jhnbrbr]

I'm not sure of the exact words, but something like

Old fiddles (or fiddlers?) play the best tunes.

 

[Dorsetmike]

Many a good tune played on an old fiddle?

 

[jhnbrbr]

Yes, that's what I was trying to say. Thanks, Mike.

A particular trait (somewhat commical and oestoteric) of the female homo sapien is seen to be detrimental to the overall positive affect of a dalliance. (Oscar Wilde quote)

 

[jhnbrbr]

Not entirely sure, but (after shameless cheating) I'm going to go for....

There is nothing so difficult to marry as a large nose.

 

[Contratrombone64]

Not quite, but it made me laugh.

It is There's nothing more destructive to romance than a woman with a sense of humour.

Should the sounds in one’s ears manifest into the ingredients of an adoration, continue with the game. May I have plenty of those ingredients that I have too much. The desire for nourishment, could perhaps become ill, and therefore bring on its demise.

 

[Contratrombone64]

"Gordon Bennett" - no idea Margaret, most vexing!!

 

[Dorsetmike]

If music be the food of love, play on etc
