But what happened to all the Swifties we've been posting for the last few years???
I am not sure. I looked for some other threads as this one seemed very old, but I couldn't find them with the search words I used. I am sure it's here somewhere.

These are great, guys!

"Write more of those Swifties," Tom said haltingly!

"Just how many children do you have. Mrs. Dionne?" Tom asked, broodingly.

"How I wish the dentist's Novacaine worked better for me!" said Tom with feeling.

"I've drunk too much again...I think I'm going to throw up!" said the barfly.

"I have a website," said Dot calmly.

"I murdered the king," Regis sighed.

"I'm in love with Rochester," said Jane airily.

NOt that I'm boosting another website, but OEDILF has dozens more in two forums -- one just naughty, the other not so ss (Curtained Room).

I'll be posting the already late limerick game shortly. I think Ruypert Murdoch has been hacking my system.

Anybody for a Tom Swiftie?

"How on earth did Mom's mom contract Lyme Disease?" asked Tom grammatically.

Great idea, Bethree! We've developed a lot of them in the past, so let's forgive repeats.

I don't think this one is really that appropriate, but then I am tired:

"We have a new puppy," Kalleh said, dog-tiredly.

I'll be thinking, though!

"I'm not too fond of puppies," said Kalleh, cattily.

"Do you like my new spectacles?" asked Tom, glassy-eyed.

“I think this flea is French,” said Tom zealously.
“Phic – you have said quite enough!: said Tom xenomorphically.
“I’ll take 2,240 pounds” he said wantonly.
