"Apparently there are no words
That rhyme with silver,
But what did they know when
I came to pilfer,
All of their gold
And all of their silver,
But what did they know
Except the pain
That they suffered."

Silver just got owned.

By me, no less.

:wink:

"I stared benignly at the voluptuous purple
Produced in the rage of a vigorous turtle, "


"The twerp will
Dance in Purple,"

To make this one word twerp'll is acceptable as a contraction. Therefore twerp'll rhymes with purple.


Orange is a right bastard though.:wink:
