    Thank you, YesNo! Let's see here... um... OK, the next line is:

    Don't cry for me, Argentina!

    (I see several possibilities there, already)





    Good luck and God bless!
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Getting Rid of Him

    Don't buy for me arsenic, Tina,
    Though I love your sweet cookies and pie.
    You've found out about Magdalina?
    It's too late now. I know. Pass the pie.

    Last Tango in Buenos Aires

    Don't cry for me, Argentina.
    I'm here for carne asada.

    Find yourself a gaucho.
    Or wait for another gringo.

    Thank you YesNo for the feedback and congratulations to Pendragon!!!

    don't fray for thy quaint regina
    for world is always thy arena
    don't cry for he sweet argentina
    for love is nought a clear artena
    leave it to he to seek more eras
    and you be sure to claim a reina

    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good
    it fly

    I cried for a Gent in Tina
    I know it sounds a little strange
    but I love a bit of masculina
    to test my feminine range.

    Tina wrestles me to the floor,
    his make-up smeared by my grasp.
    While his muscle keeps me captive,
    I rejoice in his/her heavenly clasp!

    The concert hall comes down next week
    Once the biggest and best in the state
    Box office grew thin and decay soon set in
    It could no longer claim to be great

    But don't cry for the large arena
    Sure, the rats will need someplace to go
    But the mall that they build will quite soon be filled
    And the cash will continue to flow

    Unlike Argent Dawn necrophelia,
    when cold and unbeating, I'm free,
    picture me...
    blue, though in me,
    retained fidelity.
    Don't cry for me Argentina,
    virgin now free,
    white belt red striped - that is me,
    unknowingly,
    Aphrodite, not who motivated me,
    in this Judo Gee,
    with Gaia I'll be,
    one and only,
    uncomprehendedly,
    freer than free.

    All of you, great work! I had many a chuckle.

    My own interpretation might be

    I went to see the fortune tellers
    Two lovely ladies with crystal balls
    But as they told each one their fate
    I became more and more appalled
    Death and dread became their sermon
    Sorrow and pain filled their arena
    So when my turn came I cried
    "Don't scry for me, Marge and Tina!"


    Note: Scry means to look into the future in a crystal ball or through a hole in a special stone.

    The winner is: (drum roll, please!) cacian! More pun lines than I ever expected! Congrads!

    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie

    Not necessarily. You can use the starting line as-is or make a pun out of it and run with that.

    Congrats, cacian!

    That lady's not for burning
    Though witch she just might be.
    She's queen of all this fairy land.
    Her king leads armies that will stand
    With her most faithfully.

    How to Properly Prepare a Lady

    A lady's not for turning,
    I prefer to have her grilling,
    just a dash of salt and pepper
    if she is ripe, a lady but needs
    little extra dressing,
    medium rare to keep her tender,
    for when she is fair,
    there should always remain
    a little pink in the coloring,
    now let her set for maximum flavoring,
    how nicely she will go
    with a fine Bordeaux.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    This play does not bear learning!
    I'd sooner end my life!
    It's only fit for burning!

    Ballad of O'Grady

    O'Grady's not for learning
    He finds reading a great waste of time
    He could not care less about arithmetic
    Add, Subtract, Multiply, Devide

    O'Grady's hot for yearning
    About pints down at the pub
    He know just how many they will serve
    Before they kick him to the curb

    O'Grady's not discerning
    But he can read the price of beer
    Michelob, Budweiser, Coors, or Miller
    Which for the least cost brings him cheer?

    O'Grady's plot they are turning
    Into a grave six foot by three
    If he should live beyond the grave
    Do you think he'll read the inscription carved by me?
