Posted by Eutychus (# 3081) on

Brenton Brown's Your Love Is Amazing is surely a contender for the Crappy Choruses thread, but I thought it might also make for a Circus game.
The structure is basically as follows:
Verse:
AAAB
CCCB
Chorus:
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, your love makes me sing x2
The aim of the author seems to have been to make the three rhyming lines as excruciating as possible, as in
Your love is surprising
I can feel it rising
All the joy that's growing
Deep inside of me
But I feel sure Shipmates would be up to the challenge of finding rhymes that are even worse.
Suggested rules as follows:
One poster supplies lines AA ('your love is...')
Next poster supplies lines AB
Another poster supplies lines CC ('your love is...')
Next poster supplies lines CB
(for extra style points, a poster is then allowed to post the chorus at this point before we start again).
To start us off, here are two "AA" lines:
Your love is amusing
I find it enthusing...

Sorry, Raptor, but there is a rhyme scheme. Hope you don't mind if I follow it.

Your love is maturing
Like smoked meat a-curing

Like compost manuring;
And growing our love.

Your love's so enrichin'
That I'll stop my bitchin'

The unfortunate itchin'?
A gift from above.

Your love's automatic,
My response charismatic

It makes my head spin.

[And a special alert! This thread is going to be closed as soon as a Circus host gets to it on Monday, June 1st Ship time, pending future developments! So you've just time to get in another suitably cringeworthy verse or two!]
Posted by Nenya (# 16427) on
:
Your love's like this Ship thread,
Keeps me on a knife edge
Posted by balaam (# 4543) on
:
It's driving a sharp wedge
Between me and transgression.

Your love is o'erpowering,
Truth telling empowering,
(Was thinking confession as a rhyme)
Posted by Eutychus (# 3081) on
:
[happy to oblige... ![[Two face]](graemlins/scot_twoface.gif)

With me blessings showering
Even when I don't go to confession

Are we building up to a finale? *adopts worshipful pose with half-closed eyes and repeats "Your love makes me sing" a few times in ever softer tones*

[We can fit another verse in surely? How about this, as a starter, for Trinity Sunday?]
Your love's in three persons
The Father's the first one
Posted by Nenya (# 16427) on
:
Number two's a Persian,
Jesus is his name.
Posted by L'organist (# 17338) on

And then I've a Burmese
Who the children called Hermes

The third, if you please,
Is theParaclete by name.

This thread's been courageous,
Occasionally outrageous,
Also quite contagious,
Tests our rhyming banks.
Amusing and heart-warming,
Also earworm forming,
Eutychus performing;
For it I give thanks.
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Your love makes me sing.

Was that goodbye, I ask?
Is it complete, the task?
Posted by Pia (# 17277) on
:
Eutychus, you should bask
In our love, admiring.
Posted by jacobsen (# 14998) on
:
For we could continue this
Game in ongoing bliss
Posted by Pia (# 17277) on
:
But we'd be taking the p*ss.
Nay, no more should we sing.
Posted by Kelly Alves (# 2522) on
:
Hallelujah, hallelujah, etc...
After much copy and pasting, I am happy to announce that your collective efforts have given us a total of 45 stanzas (counting the extra 'hallelujah')!
Well done, everyone!
Please stay tuned to the circus pending further developments.
