Finish the thought--You're still a part of me...

[Pureotica]

Poetry and humor both rely on clever turns of the line. Setting up, then undermining, an expectation. For this exercise, use the line provided and finish the thought with a line of your own. Irony. Humor. Anything goes. I'll do a couple for example. I have fun with these.

You're still a part of me...

 

[Pureotica]

...like the phantom tingling of a missing limb.

 

[Euphony]

because you paired so well with a nice Chianti.

 

[Pureotica]

...but the antibiotics are kicking in.

 

[onehitwanda]

... which is odd, because I'm unsure how antibiotics are supposed to work on a limpet like you.

 

[Pureotica]

...we should have used more lube.

 

[onehitwanda]

But here's a torque wrench - give it a whirl.

 

[Voboy]

...because you just couldn't pull out, you undisciplined bastard.

 

[Pureotica]

...but our shrink has high hopes for the new meds.

 

[lustychimera]

And don't worry about it. Yes, you can keep both my legs.

 

[Djmac1031]

...because you just HAD to leave the Super Glue on the nightstand next to the lube.

 

[Bramblethorn]

...it was only supposed to be nine months.

 

[EmilyMiller]

Finish the thought--You're still a part of me...​

…as I absorbed my twin in the womb.

 

[lustychimera]

…as I absorbed my twin in the womb.

Samson, I swoon. Dr. Venture, is it too soon?

 

[Pureotica]

...but who's going to fish out the condom?

 

[Cagivagurl]

I guess it's always like that after a transplant.....

 

[Emilymcplugger]

…of sense of humour, you all-too-serious dullard,” said the Vicar.

 

[Mr_Twister_242]

...irregardless of having serviced half the town

 

[Rustyoznail]

...because of leprosy. Your tip has gone, you can't go on 'cause of leprosy.

(Sung to Bee Gees Tragedy)

 

[onehitwanda]

...because of leprosy. Your tip has gone, you can't go on 'cause of leprosy.

(Sung to Bee Gees Tragedy)

... wow. Abiogenesis, really?

 

[Rustyoznail]

... wow. Abiogenesis, really?

Mmm, I'm pretty sure Phil Collins didn't write it.

 

[onehitwanda]

Mmm, I'm pretty sure Phil Collins didn't write it.

Every time you shake,
every move you make,
every inch you take,
every mad mistake,
I'll be watching you.

 

[Pureotica]

...because of leprosy. Your tip has gone, you can't go on 'cause of leprosy.

(Sung to Bee Gees Tragedy)

Leprosy
Body parts are falling off of me
I'm not half the man I used to be.
Oh I've contracted Leprosy

(sung to the Beatles Yesterday)
Not Mine I 'm totally stealing that one. It just seemed appropriate,

 

[Smuttyandfun]

... because you won't get your fat ass off my hair!

 

[MillieDynamite]

Because I took your heart and preserved it in formaldehyde.
