Rhythm and Blues

Title: Rhythm and Blues
Pairing/Warning/Rating: none, rated G
Beta: [personal profile] 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 [personal profile] 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....

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*)

one that always makes me laugh, even if it's a bit crude is Image since he looks so upset at the poor horse.

Oh, this one's perfect for my Barrel of What? Image

Cool emoties. My personal fave emote is this one Image (http://s215.photobucket.com/albums/cc176/a_lanart/emoties/?action=view&current=boing.gif) but there ain't much call for bouncing hearts...

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

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-08-27 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
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)

It is perfect for that drabble! And hee, the horse giggling makes me grin.

[identity profile] aeron-lanart.livejournal.com 2008-08-27 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

oops, sorry.

*snickers* what a terrible poem

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/ 2008-08-27 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
*DIES* That may well be it.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-08-27 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
poor Ianto... stuck with terrible rhyming skills

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-08-27 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
