Challenge: Roll Your Own Poem, part 3

[Rybka]

The title for the next "roll your own" poem challenge is "Foaf". This word is a fairly recent acronym that stands for "Friend of A Friend". I first heard the word on the NPR program "You Don't Say" which is a word game program. Originally it was used in journalism to refer to unconfirmed sources, such as the originator of an urban legend. It is now used in law enforcement, by the drug culture, and by computer programmers where it is some kind of a code or format (?). (Do a Google search and see if you can understand it.)

Anyway, "friend of a friend" can refer to a multitude of things and relationships (even Rowdy Ted), so we should get a wide variety of interpretations.

I suggest that we plan on a submission date of Friday, February 7, 2003. So that all the poems will appear on Saturday the 8th. This will give everyone the weekend to enjoy and digest each others' interpretations and style.

Will it have to be written like that? Foaf? Not f.o.a.f. or FOAF or... ?

When I did a web search I found it as a word. So it will be "Foaf".
You are not getting three chances at this one!

Foaf is an ugly word. Who let Rybka pick this week's title?!

Shucks, I'm in anyway.

 

[WickedEve]

I mean really, think about it! We had broken blinds, shadow theater and now we have Foaf. Hey Rybka, could you change it to Butterflies Fly?

So think of it as the phrase (until you have to type the title)!!

You don't have to register, but who else is in?

The same demon (Rybka) that tempted the rest of us. Who can resist a title like Foaf?

Actually, I think Foaf was a biblical bedroom community. Northeast of Nod.

[JUDO]

[Rybka]

Lavalamps and Lugubroiosity

If Our Lady of the Lavalamp is playing, does that mean that the ban on lavalamps and lugubriosity is lfted?

I plead the 5th! I will need one if I have to read another lugubrious lavalamp (I hate to use the word!) "poem".

Redeye 2

Aw poor fishy!

You need something to pep you up. Did you know that you can make a redeye by substituting clamato juice for the tomatoes? The can says that the juice is made with freshly squeezed clams, a soupcon of tabasco and of course the ubiquitous tomato.

Bottoms up!

 

[WickedEve]

I'm a Foafer

I foafed a few days ago but I think I need to refoaf. My first attempt at foafing was rather foafy.

Clamato juice, hot sauce, horse radish, and gin makes a damn good "Bloody Mary"! Even better is to hang shrimpes around the edge of the glass! This is called, "Mary and the Boys".

Let me know when you refoaf, I wanna see that. I picture it as being something like a reverse orgasm.

I think I had one of those last night. I imploded with passion which left me with a bad case of cramps. I don't recommend anyone trying a reverse Big O.

Starting out satisfied, grinning, with a blissful feel of finality then suddenly trembling to a horny level of frustration, twitching through your body. Not exactly a desired result!
