Like I said, I'm not a bear when it comes to the rules. All I want is
at least a brief nod before utterly breaking them, so that I know you
are aware there is a rule there. :) Proceed.

With a plantive growl of, "You do not like
my gorgeous new robes?" he spun full circle
as if to flourish turgid sleeves and billowing brocade
perhaps etched with a lifelike patina of embroidered deer and hounds.
Instead, stark naked, a silly hirophant of an unknown kingdom
stood before a dumbstruck crowd, suddenly wishing for darkness
and the evanecent conifer anonymity of a virgin wilderness.

Two lists, because I'd like to revive this game, take your pick:
culinary assart
edible collusion
culpable platitude
unsatisfied zealot
superlative interment
gregarious spider
courageous vegitation
tempestuous thread
obvious meridian
melodious oblivion

Oh mighty Amazon Dot Com,
Thee who have given vent to my impatient wallet -
Oh omnipresent United Parcel Service,
Thee who drop each overflowing, pregnant sack
Upon my doorstep -
Cacophanous emotion fills me as I pore over
Each precious bound volume, DVD, software package!
Happiness stampedes me
Like noisy pink herds of joyous flamingoes!
Alone, I shout my ecstacy to the
Unhearing, careless wallpaper.
Was there a time, long past, without One-Click?
If so, I can recall it poorly, dimly,
As a distant galaxy viewed
Through a warped telescope.

(I know, I know - I used the original list in #0, not arianna's
lists. A sudden wash of inspiration flowed over me, and I had
no choice.)

I'll try one on.
"Come," said the gregarious spider to the fly,
"Come into my humble abode and dine with me."
"Ah, you are most kind, spider sir," said the fly,
"But I would not brave this web of temptestous thread.
I would soon seek solace in the courageous vegetation
That thrives despite the arid conditions.
Your web, though of obvious meridian to you,
Is far too filled with danger for me."
So on buzzed the fly, so sure he was safe,
Did not realize in his melodious oblivion,
That the sweet-smelling plants were of carnivorous type
And soon he languished in the jaws of one.
