Sarcastic Rhyme

[daveygh]

Anyone good at little rhymes?
My wife has a real annoying habit of leaving the lid off the tea bag jar, and although i keep telling her, she keeps on doing it. I want to put an amusing rhyme on the lid to remind her but hopefully make her chuckle each time.
something along the lines of
'i know i'm made of china
and you dont take me off too far
but i get ever so lonely
when i'm not sitting on my jar'....
I'm sure you can do better :-)

[Hopkirk]

How about changing the jar to a caddy with a hinged lid, or threatening to leave the loo seat up if she persists.

[Old_Geezer]

Surely you insist your missus puts it up out of the way when she has finished using it ?

As for poetry, not sure I'm in the right frame of mind at present. What you have seems good enough.

[snags]

Put the furkin lid back on or I'm leaving you.

Pretty please.

?

[shoota]

Put the bloody lid back woman,
Or judgement day is a'comin'...

[DTCwordfan]

Put me back on my pot
Or the tea will taste like snot.

[Tilly2]

I am a little caddy lid
I really don't do much
But keep your tea bags nice and fresh
when I am put in touch
With the formentioned caddy
Whose rim I firmly clutch
So please keep us united
or else one day you'll see
that what your drinking from the cup
Won't taste at all like tea.

[flump1]

I'm not as happy as I ought to be,
I ought to be a'covering the tea.

[Barmaid]

My wife is nearly perfect
that's plain for all to see
but I wish she'd put the lid back on
the jar that holds the tea.

[-Talbot-]

I'm the Daddy
Put the lid on the caddy

[gness]

You're being far too patient.....you need to drive her nuts so.....instead of a rhyme....hide the lid each time she leaves it off and play the innocent.

By the end of February she'll be screwing the lid on so tightly you'll need mole grips to remove it......☺

[Barmaid]

lol @ Gness, but if she's like me (inherently lazy) that wont work. She'll just think "thank **** that bloody lid has disappeared".

[mallyh]

i really love dearly
you're everything to me
but for pity sake
put the lid on the tea .

[daveygh]

some good ones there. Gness i like the idea but i think Barmaid has guessed what would happen if i did that. Another thing i was going to do was empty the bags out and super glue the lid on, but i'm not sure i could get one of the set to replace it after.

[mallyh]

thanks for ba xx ( should have read i really love YOU dearly) lol

[Dizmo]

I'd just steal all the tea bags. I did this when I was married and she soon changed her ways. I'd also take her cuppa off her and pour it down the sink if she had left the lid off.

[marval]

I’m a little tea bag jar
I really don’t like to scold
But when you leave my lid off
The contents get quite cold

There is a secret to making tea
That really can’t be beat
All that it involves
Is tea bags with a little heat

So if you want a lovely cuppa
Remember this little rhyme
Become a cover upper
It will be perfect every time

[daveygh]

I can see AB has quite a few closet poets on it .. :-)
I'm sure if i did that Dizmo i wouldn't get another cup of tea lol - although the lid would always be on !

[Dizmo]

daveygh: You could just write on the lid "My jar is my best friend, without him I am merely just a discarded lid".

[boxtops]

If you don't put the lid on the jar
The flies will be coming, from near and from far

[AlwaysConfused]

Tea, coffee, sugar..
The jars are clearly marked.
Please close me after using,
Else I get rather narked!
