Rhythm and Blues

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....”

Nantucket would come into play quite a bit most likely

The Jack-muse that I don't have just grinned and said, "Amateurs."

So true, so true... my poetic license should be yanked for even alluding to such a thing

Your poetic license has never had to deal with the 51st century before. I think it can be excused!

Jack would manage to be lyrical and crude all at the same time, wouldn't he?

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

Yes! Charming and impudent. *nods*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

He's have gotten on with Shakespeare so well

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

*stares* Why has nobody written that?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

someone MUST have. Somewhere.

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

Surely!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

if not you know what to ask for in that request meme thing that everyone's doing

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

Good point! I want more of my flist to do that meme. Although I still have stuff I wanted to do for people's wish lists from last year. *facepalm*

*pfft* just go and do it. jadesfire2808 and aeron_lanart and a ton of others have already

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

I think those two are the only ones so far on mine. I might do it, if I can think of ten things I want.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you don't have to do 10. I skimmed around (that's how I found the limerick request) a lot of people asked for less.

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

I asked for 6, and the 6th was a surprise as I was originally only going to ask for 5; 10 just seemed a bit greedy when I can't promise to do loads of stuff for people although I've promised 2 fics and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can actually come up with the goods for both of them.

That was a long sentence...

but not a run on or anything!

perish the thought *g*
I'm far too in love with semi colons for my own good.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I have a special affinity for semicolons as well. :)
