I'm here! I was just having a word with Strider in the corner!

And here are some Silver BLOBs I had in my rucksack:

• An "If I were a carpenter" BLOB to Georgiansilver for the sad and sorry:
  I shouted it often, for no reason it's true,
  So now poor old Chris has got rid of me too!
• A piratical BLOB to Murphy for the sardonic,
  Then I'm at it while the green birds keeps on shouting "Go on Gary"
  And I satisfy the keen bird,
• A well-advised BLOB to Neil D for the exquisitely rhymed,
  So before you grin and bear it
  Lock the parrot in the garret
• A short BLOB to Matthew Edwards for the impassioned,
  For there's none of them can snitch on a cheat
  My singing bird as you.
• And finally a somewhat misdirected BLOB to Amos for the frightening,
  And ever since, the fucking cat
  Has had her eye on me!!

Keep up the good work! Some excellent rhyming and structure this week -- you are a talented lot! I'll see if I can come up with something myself to entertain the troops.
