Here's what we've got: A. “It’s ‘Nay-nay’,” you say? I say, “Nay! ‘Neen!’” But a stranger chips in “While you may mean The place, not the goose (Which is what I deduce) For most “Nin’s” the right way that they lean. B Inspired by the song, "Down by the Old Mill Stream". Down by the River Nene Where I first met Jean With her eyes so blue She was so untrue Yes, Gene, but a queen. C. You can rhyme it with hen or with bean. It won’t trouble the old River Nene. It flows on its way Like a lazy spring day, Not entirely, but mostly, serene. D. Americans shout out Hey! Hey! When our President lauds the KK. He's rude to Ms. Cruz; Is he missing some screws? Let's push him in River Nene! E. I was stopped by a cop by the Nene In a park in the dark on the green I was screwing a lass With a mighty fine ass How'd I know she was only sixteen? F. This is a parody of the jazz standard, "Last time I saw Jeannine." Melody by Duke Peason, lyrics added later by Oscar Brown, Jr., sung by Eddie Jefferson. Last time, last time I saw Jeannine Was on, was on the River Nene She left the ‘hood She’s gone for good She was, she was so awful mean G. As I lay on the banks of the Nene With the beautiful Bridget McSween I uttered great sighs As she stoked my thighs And nestled herself in between H. An old goat on a boat on the Nene Whose language was bawdy and mean Met a nun from a cloister "I will give you my oyster," She said, "When your mouth has come clean" Pick one. Oh, shucks, pick two - they're cheap! | ||

Geoff, you didn't include my favorite that you wrote: "While floating serene on the Nene Someone said, "What on earth's a 'spalpeen?'" I said, "I know not, But I fear that it's got A meaning that's likely obscene" Can't we include this as "I", because this is the one I like best?! | |||

If you want to include it, OK. | |||

I vote for "I". | |||

Since we've got a "jump ball" situation here, would someone who hasn't voted please pick one to give us a winner? | |||

Huh? How'd my spouse log in as me??? Oh, well, we now have a winnah! Sattva, you're it! I wrote H and I; Bob wrote A, Sattva wrote B and C, Kalleh wrote D, Tinman wrote E, F and G. | |||

I am late to this party but would have picked A. I wanted one (besides mine) that had a proper rhyme. Speaking of proper rhymes, where is Greg these days? | |||

Shucks, Kalleh, A was my pick too. Bob, you got cheated! I must ask whether you did or did not like the idea of using a geographical feature instead of a town? | |||
|
Member |
No, he didn't. I abdicate to Bob. | |||

I'll post a new place tomorrow - as for geographical features - why not? I once did the moon and once did Narnia so I'm flexible on what constitutes a place name. "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Samuel Johnson. | |||
