You just don’t want to write limericks do you?
Just chuck any old words at the screen. It doesn’t matter they don’t rhyme.
Might as well say “With a bureau on which he would hover.”
The story-writing forum is back up the page.
Bah.

A fine fellow was J. Edgar Hoover
With a bureau, a dam and a louvre
that opened and closed

how about,
A fine fellow was J. Edgar Hoover
With a fat wife, he couldn't move her
She kept her mouth closed
And hummed as she posed
or we could go back to the other one... up to you guys!
EDIT : although isnt the first line jacked up again?...

Not here, it's not. That's our (correct) spelling of louver. Just because you Yanks insist on messing with words doesn't automatically make them correct.No.EDIT : although isnt the first line jacked up again?...

uhhh it has nothing to do with us 'yanks'. it's a french word... the Louvre, is pronounce Loov... by all means, pronounce it incorrectly, it will irritate the french and im always up for things that irritate the french
Read my post again. It is a totally different word that ash has used. Her word is the English/Australian (correct) spelling of what Yanks call a louver. A fucking pane of glass that swivels, not a fucking museum.
Edit: And in case it still hasn't sunk in, we pronounce it 'loover'.

thank you ox, i was trying to think of how to put all that in a sentence ...
What's with the new (old) avvy? I keep thinking of baa baa black sheep or once a jolly jumbuck but fail to see any connection to ash.
ah well thank ox for making your point so eloquently, it usually makes me want to listen when people become abrasive, communication is most certainly your talent in this world
it's a detail shot of a much larger painting, i painted
i think we are up to here ...

Yours is most certainly a narrow view of world-wide word usage.
"Hart" is pronounced in exactly the same way as the internal organ. "Hot" rhymes with "not".
In Boston (and to some extent the rest of New England), "hot" is "hawt" and has an internal rhyme with cawfee. They drink it in the gehr'-adj where they pahk the cah.. I say sked-jool, you likely say shed-yule.
In parts of the Americam South, hart and hot are pronounced the same way. More or less it's haht.
I speak flat Midwestern nasal. Think American TV news anchors, they affect that delivery.
