So, mine goes
Up above,
down below,
In the middle,
you're too slow.

DH's goes
Up above,
at the side,
down below,
You're too slow.

Clearly mine rhymes and scans and his doesn't.
DH is of the deluded firm belief that mine doesn't rhyme and his is the right version.

So who is right, MrIlythia or me?

DancingThroughLife · 07/11/2010 17:36

The version I know goes

Gimme 5
On the side
Up above
Down below
You're too slow

So neither of you, sorry Grin

MrsDeanWinchester · 07/11/2010 17:37

Mine goes
Up above,
Down below
At the side,
You're too slow

Just to be difficult. Grin

Dancing, that doesnt rhyme properly

MrsDW, yours is fine, as every other line rhymes.

dearprudence · 07/11/2010 17:50

Sorry, but yet another version here:

High five
To the side
Down low
Too slow!

WhyHavePets · 07/11/2010 17:50

Dancing through life is right IMO!

dearprudence · 07/11/2010 17:51

So I should have said it's closer to your DH's so I'm afraid I'll have to take his side.

mumbybumby · 07/11/2010 18:02

I'm with Dancingthroughlife, I'm afraid! :)

Gimme five
On the side

flowerybeanbag · 07/11/2010 18:10

Gimme five
To the side
Up above
Down below - too slow!

stubbornhubby · 07/11/2010 18:11

up above
down below
on the side
you're too slow!

DancingThroughLife · 07/11/2010 18:12

Ilythia, how about if it was written

Gimme 5
On the side
Up above, down below
You're too slow

The rhyme would look better, but in a 5 line rhyme, there can't be rhyming couplets.

I can't believe how many versions of this are out there!

BertieBotts · 07/11/2010 18:18

No, it's

Gimme 5
To the side
Up above
You're in love
Down below
You're too slow

MrsDeanWinchester · 07/11/2010 18:48

I only namechanged to this a few days ago and couldn't believe it wasn't already taken!

DeanWinchestersBitch · 07/11/2010 18:51

I actually don't usually use this name, had thought about it though. You can keep the name.. but Dean's mine Grin

MrsDeanWinchester · 07/11/2010 18:54

No no no, he is MINE. I loooove him.

I haven't had a crush like this in YEARS. Blush

DeanWinchestersBitch · 07/11/2010 20:37

I know, he is lovely. Seeing as we seem to have killed the thread anyway Blush, who are you usually?

MrsDeanWinchester · 07/11/2010 22:10

Oops. Blush
I'm usually SacharissaCripslock. Who? I hear you cry! Wink
Who are you? Clearly a woman of great taste, whoever you are. Grin
