I “comb” my hair

And I love taffy

Sharon, beware

Let’s invite Cathy

Mix the words

And tease a beat

Sing like a bird

And move your feet

Let’s add more people as we go

Mix up the styles and jam

Keep everybody on their toes

How’s that sound for a plan?

    I feel so stupid as I don’t understand the rules and have been trying to work it out from mother Combs posts... ?? Does your response have to link somehow to her’s!? 😅😁

    I remember playing that game, and now to see or read an adult version is really quite good and interesting. Good job.

  • A poet-age a trois!

    Wonderful Kelli! Brings back memories of how sophisticated and syncopated the girls could jump rope when us guys were such clodhoppers!

    lol, sounds good. We think alike. I just submitted a challenge to her also ;)

    This sounds like a fun plan! I like the idea of mixing things up, whether it's the words, styles, or people. It'll keep everyone engaged. I'm curious, how do you plan to make sure everyone's on the same page when it comes to this creative endeavor? Also, what kind of taffy are we talking about here? That might set the mood for the whole thing.
