Rhythm and Blues

[donutsweeper]

Title: Rhythm and Blues
Pairing/Warning/Rating: none, rated G
Beta: unfeathered
Word Count: 158
Summary:  Owen, Tosh and Gwen are less then thrilled with the result of a recent attack.
Author's Note: Written for fajrdrako's request for a Torchwood limerick.  I threw in a quatrain and a haiku just to make things that much sillier.

“There once was a leader named Jack,
Who said ‘You know I got your back.’
But he wasn’t in time,
And now we all rhyme,
Cos he’s a bloody stupid hack.”

“Hey!  Owen, that’s a bit harsh.  I warned you about what would happen if it sprayed you.  And I got the one I was chasing.  I’ve already apologized for missing the second one..”

“O Jack, thou art our fearless leader,
A man so brave and clever.
Now since I shan’t but speak in meter,
Forgiveness will come never.”

“Tosh, I told you, it’s temporary.  Two, three hours tops.   Gwen, help me out here...”

“Time passes slowly
As tongues duel forming poems
And frustrations rise.”

“I said I was sorry!  Look, how about I go and get you all some coffee?  And donuts?  I’ll get donuts too.  How about that?  And chocolate.  I could also pick up some chocolate.  That make you happy?  I’ll just... I’m  going now....”

LOL - how wonderful! Not just a limerick and two bonus poems, but a story to go with them! Thank you.

*tips hat* I'm glad you liked it! It was fun to write, although perhaps completely qualifying me for the 'insane writers' guild....

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

You're in good company!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

are there guild meetings then? With donuts and coffee?

There once was a writer named Jen
Who was made entirely of win.
No prompt was too strange
For this writer's range
She conquered them all with her pen.

(Well, keyboard. But it didn't rhyme. *g*)

You are absolutely awesomesause, you know that?

This is hilarious but I can't help wondering where Ianto was hiding...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

He probably wasn't there so got away with his rhyming abilities intact and realized immediately that out of the line of fire was a good place to be.

(Or, he's stuck with iambic pentameters and his poems run along the likes of "our love was always meant to be; I love you more than BBC; let's go and run along the beach; and you can be my little peach" ao he's hidden himself in the archives and won't come out until he can talk normally again)

he's hidden himself in the archives and won't come out until he can talk normally again

Thus proving he's got more sense than the rest of them. Now please excuse me while I clean my keyboard.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oops, sorry.

*snickers* what a terrible poem

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

*DIES* That may well be it.

*diiiiiiiiies* If the main story hadn't killed me, Ianto's snippet would have finished me off.

Sorry. Coherence later. Falling off chair laughing now...

You are AWESOME. Love, love, love it! There's plot framework and everything!

It looks like your creative juices are really flowing. :)

Some days I think the more impossible it is, the more fun my muse will have. I mean, in what universe does a TW limerick make sense? When Owen's bitching that he can't *not* speak in one. And ta-da. there you go.

There's a bit of a eta to the story in a comment to aeron_lanart btw.

That's part of what makes fandom the Best Place in the World. *g* And probably why there's sock fic and cookie fic (so I'm told) and epic verse parodies and anything imaginable!

Heeee, oh Ianto. (I was so amused by his awful poetry that I just realized I let my cat lick all the spaghetti sauce out of the bottom of my bowl. Whoops.)
