The Spoonbill Generator

Fun in the Unnerving Moonlight (Rembrandt's Schooldays)

I've always been taught to report what I thought [Beefy]

When a thought first reports to my head [Kansas Sam]

And so, when I froze from my nose to my toes, [Beefy]

Every thought that arose got no prose as repose [Kansas Sam]

So instead I just said: "Time for bed" [Beefy]

I've always been told to stand straight as I strolled [Kansas Sam]

When I strolled through the park with my aunt [Beefy]

And so, when I hunched before lunch I'd get punched, [fester]

Then get crunched if I scrunched while I listlessly munched [Kansas Sam]

Salad plants, which my aunt said "You can't!" [fester]

I've always been warned I'd be scorned if I yawned [Beefy]

But I yawned at such dreary advice [fester]

And so, when I gapped in my trap ere I napped [Kansas Sam]

My yawn got me slapped; I was apt to be trapped [Beefy]

Into eating flies, which I despise [fesdter]

I'm always afraid and dismayed in the shade [Beefy]

'Cause the shade is dismayingly dark [Kansas Sam]

And so, when it's night, I take flight in fright [fester]

That I might sight white light as a bright to my plight [Kansas Sam]

Where my shadows amazingly stark [keith c]

I've always been trained to report what I gained [Kansas Sam]

Except when I gained it for free [keith c]

And so, when I chose tight new clothes for my nose [fester]

My woes, I suppose, sought repose from the snows [Beefy]

And my toes they will allways agree [keith c]

I've always been shown to fly straight when I've flown [Kansas Sam]

If I'd known I 'd have never gone back [Beefy]

And so, my faint pleas from these flying trapeze [Kansas Sam]

Will please them as flees from the sound of a sneeze [Beefy]

I'm a hack: my poor tack made me...smack! [Kansas Sam]
