~Rhopalic Madness~

me...
I bravely
meet challenge happily
to compose rhopalics successfully
wedge verses following complicated methodology
prove very cerebral...difficulty initiating irritability
now seeking simplistic literature alleviating uncharacteristic hypersensitivity
yet finding refreshing tranquility ineffectual idealogically
am seeing competent psychologist professionally
a speedy remedy necessary
for mental sanity
of crazy
me...

WOW, but now I'm really confused.

You used one word, two words, three words and so on in each following line, but Nan spoke of syllables, is that the same?

Really need my Webster (sigh)
before I myself give it a try

Marge-
   ROFL @ you!! LOL
   You crack me up, my silly friend!

   Ms. Nan!  Margie's callin' me names!
   She said I was a little MissShowOffSmartiePantsBrownNoser,
   but I'm not...ummmmmm...LITTLE!! Yeah...that's it!
   Make her take it back, Ms. Nan!  

   As for you, little Miss Margie...you bully, you...
   I'll see YOU on the playground!!...
   right after I finish cleaning the rest of
   the erasers, and go pick some apples
   for Ms. Nan...

   Oh, and about that EXCEDRIN...make it
   Maximum Strength!! LOL
  
   Love ya, my   friend,
   ~'Biggerthanyou'MissShowOffSmartiePantsBrownNoser...a.k.a. ~Me


Titia-
   Sorry if I made it more confusing for you.
   Yes...each word in a line should have one
   more syllable than the previous word, and
   I've done that.  As far as using one more
   word in each line than the previous line,
   that was just the way I chose to do it.
   You don't have to do it the same way.
   I hope that explains it a little bit.
   Thanks so much for your comments.
  
   Hugs,
   ~vicky


Nan-
   Glad to know this works, and that you
   find it 'kewl'..
   So, since you spoke of renaming this one,
   what do you have in mind for a title?
   Really glad you like it, my friend.

   hugs,
   ~vicky

There'll be absolutely NO name-calling here - and NO food in class either - NOT UNLESS I get some too.... Where are those twinkies?...

We have a boys' locker room?  How come I didn't know that???... Geesh..

cindi-
   I am NOT the teacher's pet! Take it back!
   But isn't she such a nice teacher...

   I promise to NEVER laugh at your homework,
   as long as you keep protecting me from
   that mean ol' MargieGirl...deal?
  
   Seriously...I saw your homework, and you
   deserve an apple too...and maybe even a twinkie!
   Hugs to you

Doc-
   Wow!  I don't know what to say...I have
   no speech prepared, and there are so many
   people I need to thank!
   First of all, I'd like to thank MizNanners
   for being such a smart teacher, and for
   letting me dust the erasers for her...and
   then there's Margie...even though she IS a
   bully, she's fun to play with sometimes, and
   once in awhile she even checks over my
   homework for me.  Oh my...I just know I'm
   going to forget someone, so I'll just say
   thank you to EVERYONE...I couldn't have
   done it without your support...this title
   belongs to YOU!
   *taking my victory walk* *beauty queen wave*
  
   Thank you, Dr. Moose.
   I truly appreciate your kind words.
  

Nan-
   I tried to tell Margie to be good, but
   she just wouldn't listen to me.
   I told her that you were the bestest teacher
   in the whole whole world, and that she
   needed to respect you and listen to you,
   and she just stuck her tongue out at me
   and made me cry and I didn't even do
   anything to her!
   Here MizNanners...I brought you a whole
   box of Twinkies.

   Hmmmmmmmm...'Rhopalic Raynes',huh?
   I kinda like that...has a nice ring to it.

   hugs to all of you,
   ~vicky
