This is a bit of a forum game, but at the same time it has the capacity to result in a bit of poetry, so it goes here. I'm going to supply a line of poetry, and the following poster is to create a poem using the line I gave as their first. Along with their poem, they supply a line for the next person to write poetry on. No restrictions on the type of line or poetry; just keep the line open ended.

But over all things, beware the Wingdings, The most ruthless gang in the West. They'll rob all your kernings And all of your earnings, Then vanish away from arrest.
Running to the house that never gets closer Pointless, some might say The same can be said about juggling with gophers But it would still make my day
Yet there's something odd about this situation How come I make no progress? This might require some negotiation I'll ask it to come over in exchange for a pretty dress
