Some of you liked the post I put up a while ago about the verbal jousting between the late Koalemos (Barry) amd myself, so here's some more. This was on a post where I talked about our repartee. We have a surprise visitor joining in. Koalemos... I remember those days very well When on my desktop your Limericks fell I just do not know Why you tormented me so And strained my remaining brain cell Jabo... What fun we have had, that's for sure, our jibes we would simply endure, teasing each other that was no bother, for rhyming bug there is no cure. Koalemos... I regret now those seeds I have sown And do not want to grumble or moan But you are such a pest And will not let me rest Why can you not leave me alone? Jabo... Ha - you are lucky that I soon have to go and prepare a meal, so have no time to compose any more rhymes. Koalemos.. At last I have got a respite Even though it may be just slight I can now make a brew Which is well overdue And enjoy peace for the rest of the night @vandana7... May I take charge from where she left If it is cooking time that left her bereft You Sir shall know no respite Notwithstanding just few cells in sight That is the price for skill so deft Koalemos... Oh dear, there goes my rest And the peace with which I was blessed It would not be polite If I did not write A reply, as you seem to request vanny... I will only be here for a while I sure can't match her style But we can each give a piece Ensuring that your peace shall cease For you sure make us smile Koalemos... I can see you intend to persist So there is no point in trying to resist So I shall persevere And will not disappear Since my presence would clearly be missed. vanny... Of course, Sir, I insist The witty lady I assist Would be glad that I am here She'll return have no fear To be surprised at the twist Jabo... Right, now I am back from my break and Vanny her chance she did take, she jumped in to play while I was away, so give her some tea and some cake! Koalemos... My main concern now is whether You girls will gang up together I would not have a hope Or be able to cope I am now at the end of my tether. Jabo... Watch this space!

That was great and nice to remember the fun we had reading what the two of you might come up with. I was surprised it was vanny.

I've never seen her put any sort of poem up, so yes, I was surprised. She made a great job of it too.

I'm happy that you liked it Carol, thanks. I think there are a lot of people on the site now who didn't know Barry, so perhaps this won't interest them.

That was so funny and Vanny proved equal to the task and even matched both your skills. Barry lives on and, in fact, comes in my mind quite often. He is missed here sorely. Maybe he is composing a repartee from wherever and smiling to himself.
