Some of you liked the post I put up a while ago about the verbal jousting between the late Koalemos (Barry) amd myself, so here's some more. This was on a post where I talked about our repartee. We have a surprise visitor joining in.
Koalemos...
I remember those days very well
When on my desktop your Limericks fell
I just do not know
Why you tormented me so
And strained my remaining brain cell
Jabo...
What fun we have had, that's for sure,
our jibes we would simply endure,
teasing each other
that was no bother,
for rhyming bug there is no cure.
Koalemos...
I regret now those seeds I have sown
And do not want to grumble or moan
But you are such a pest
And will not let me rest
Why can you not leave me alone?
Jabo...
Ha - you are lucky that I soon have to go and prepare a meal, so have no time to compose any more rhymes.
Koalemos..
At last I have got a respite
Even though it may be just slight
I can now make a brew
Which is well overdue
And enjoy peace for the rest of the night
@vandana7...
May I take charge from where she left
If it is cooking time that left her bereft
You Sir shall know no respite
Notwithstanding just few cells in sight
That is the price for skill so deft
Koalemos...
Oh dear, there goes my rest
And the peace with which I was blessed
It would not be polite
If I did not write
A reply, as you seem to request
vanny...
I will only be here for a while
I sure can't match her style
But we can each give a piece
Ensuring that your peace shall cease
For you sure make us smile
Koalemos...
I can see you intend to persist
So there is no point in trying to resist
So I shall persevere
And will not disappear
Since my presence would clearly be missed.
vanny...
Of course, Sir, I insist
The witty lady I assist
Would be glad that I am here
She'll return have no fear
To be surprised at the twist
Jabo...
Right, now I am back from my break
and Vanny her chance she did take,
she jumped in to play
while I was away,
so give her some tea and some cake!
Koalemos...
My main concern now is whether
You girls will gang up together
I would not have a hope
Or be able to cope
I am now at the end of my tether.
Jabo...
Watch this space!

That was great and nice to remember the fun we had reading what the two of you might come up with. I was surprised it was vanny.

such a great guy and definitely missed. For some reason I was just thinking about him the other day.
Thanks for sharing this again Janet. It's fun to remember the good times

That was so funny and Vanny proved equal to the task and even matched both your skills.
Barry lives on and, in fact, comes in my mind quite often.
He is missed here sorely.
Maybe he is composing a repartee from wherever and smiling to himself.
