Since the Bluffing Game is stalled and the Limerick Game is in limbo, may I suggest something else to do? How about tossing out a word, then punning it to pieces? I'll start with the word, shoes:
I knew a low-life couple once. He was a real heel; she was a vamp
I dropped in to see them once and was shocked to see them both answer the door wearing thongs*.
* This pun probably only works in Australia, where a thong, whilst also being known as another word for a G-String, is more commonly used to refer to a type of footwear most of you probably call "flip-flops".

Similar here, a thong is either a skimpy pair of underwear that leaves the derriere mostly exposed or a pair of flip-flops.
