  A witty parlour game to be enjoyed by anyone who can think up a rhyme. In its most simple form, it requires one player (the reader) to read three lines of a four-line verse to the other players, all of whom then write down their own idea for the fourth line. All contributions are handed to the reader who reads them aloud, together with the real line, without revealing the identities of the authors. The players then vote on which is the best and ponits are scored. Instructions for more complex versions of the game are included, and there is a section of poems for children.
