So, this week's melee is a rhyming one, eh? I'll fill in the blanks, and see what you say.
1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate.
Girls are mean
and take on a tone.
I wish they'd be nicer
and put down that phone.
2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.
Those band kids who smile
and tip their hats
but when you aren't looking
they're behaving like brats.
3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.
My back is out
and makes me feel old.
My back is out
and I'd rather clean mold.
4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.
I like Franklin Roosevelt
and I like Joan the martyr.
I like reading Steinbeck
but I love Jimmy Carter.
5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it.
My eyes are brown
and my hair is gray.
I swear not to dye it
because I like it that way.
6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.
Just once in my life
without a special power
I wish I could see
a meteor shower.

And I do hope your back gets better soon, Robyn. Cleaning mould? ICK!

Go to Arizona, or out to a desert somewhere, and while it may not be a technical "meteor shower" you will see lots and lots of falling stars.
Congrats on a Monday Melee well done. I can't rhyme worth a dime.
BTW, I got the easy slipper socks pattern up on my blog. Hope you'll give 'em a whirl.
