Day 9: (6 days and a winner will be crowned...)

Mission #9: Fun with Rhymes and Lyrics.
Today's challenge you shall see
Will be the greatest of fun,
It's all about rhyme and verse,
And is so easily done!

You have two choices for your task
While at work and play,
Simply answer in rhyme, or with lyrics,
As you talk throughout the day.

So wax poetic great Olympians
And share your own metered wit,
Or if you'd rather borrow some--
Feel free to quote a bit.

Your scores are based on more than verse,
Though words and rhyme do matter,
But getting others in the rhythm,
Will really help you up the ladder!

So sing a song in meetings,
Pick a Dylan line so rare--
Quote Thomas, Bob or any other--
Oh mix and match, if you dare.

In six days the games will end,
And a champion will be crowned.
But there's still some Games to play--
so let's all go and clown around!

BONUS Points:
1. Quoting Renaissance poets-- in combination with lyrics by the Cure, Willie and/or Pink. (see example below.)
2. Quoting disco song lyrics when speaking to boss/client/superiors OR strangers.
3. Writing your own office haiku or tanku AND reading it / emailing it to coworkers.
4. Remember, theatrics do count. You're EGOlympians™-- the world IS your stage.

Notes:
1. No William Blake allowed. No exceptions.
2. When quoting Shakespeare you MUST use an appropriate accent and curtsy before and afterwards.
