Some Silliness - Any Poets Here?

[sojii]

After speaking with a jeweler this morning, the following sort of popped into my head. I need someone to write the last line. It doesn't have to rhyme. A lapidary is a person who cuts stones, especially gemstones.


I want to be a lapidary
So I can leave no stone unturned
I'll be the only one in Glengarry

Ok. This is one tracked right now but I can come up with something funnier later. At least something that has a little more to do with leaving no stone unturned and has a little more meter.

I want to be a lapidary
So I can leave no stone unturned
I'll be the only one in Glengarry
Who's wealth be honest earned

Is it Glengarry Glen Ross, btw? Is the film good if it is?

Good job, guys!

Maybe a limerick?

There was a young blond lapidary
Who worked from his house in Glengarry
He cut a large rock
For a jeweler in Knock
But found it too heavy to carry.

(Too many Irish allusions?)

MeToo, Glengarry Glen Ross was a mean-spirited movie about salesmen which was particularly vicious toward the older salesman in the group. Thumbs Down.

He dragged it down the road,
so heavy was his load!
He stubbed his toe
and fell on his nose
at least he didn't hurt his rock.

(I'm not a poet, but this is fun. All day I was thinking about something to rhyme with unturned,,, burned?)

Ugh! That movie sounds awful. I was hoping it was lighthearted like The Office. Even that series can get mean spirited. That's really too bad because the short description sounded alright.

I like learnt myself, Pat. Everyone has a cute one

There was a lass in Glengarry
to a Jeweler she was to marry
But the Dowry demanded
Twas a check remanded
Athair has now two to carry

LOL, you guys!

A wee Irish lad named Muldoon
Tried to eat okra, boiled, from a spoon
It slipped and it slid,
Off the spoon, fall it did.
He was still trying to catch it next noon.

(I think Muldoon is Scottish, but what the heck.)
