Not everyone feels like they have the skills of a poet. But everyone has had to give an apology at some time… so we decided to give you all a chance at letting out your inner Suess as we attempted to #RhymeAnApology
[The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 12 noon South African time [6am EDT] an inspired and growing number of brilliant, creative and absolutely fun people from all around the world take part in what is called a Hashtag game. @AFrikkinHashtag [say it out loud] is South Africa’s #1 Hashtag game and is always a lot of fun. The F.L.O.P. [or Fish List Of Prizeworthyness] is the collection of some of the best tweets from each week’s game and is what all seriously comedic Hashtaggers aspire to…]
This week it was just Brett Fish and The UnNamed Ones [although these days that is quite a considerable force in itself] and so we sent out the invitations and a few examples of our own and waited to see who would show up:
Wear your Dr Seuss Jammies, grab some creativity and come play #RhymeAnApology with @BrettFishA and The UnNamed Ones on @HashtagRoundup pic.twitter.com/LvKeoFUdU0

This isn’t rocket science and it sure ain’t not biology
So hang your head and drops some beats and come #RhymeAnApology pic.twitter.com/qGEmtnBZPW— A Frikkin Hashtag (@AFrikkinHashtag) June 7, 2017
Two of our bots came along for the game, but were both pretty awful at it:
Everything you know about Rhyme An Apology is wrong.
— Wrong Bot (@yrwrong) June 7, 2017
#RhymeAnApology. #RhymeAnSchmapology…
— Bot? Schmot! (@BotSchmot) June 7, 2017
Although technically Bot Schmot was closer…
But as always you came to the party and we got some very creative tweets in and here are some of the ones we picked up which kinda floated to the top, non stop, and they didn’t drop…
FISH LIST OF PRIZEWORTHYNESS [the F.L.O.P.]
John got us off in the very best fashion, by bringing some smack to my nemesis [and friend] K Dawg:
Sorry for all those tweets
About your hero Mr Binks.
From now on I’ll live my life
The way that Jar Jar thinks.#RhymeAnApology@KeshaTedder— John Lane (@JohnFPLane) June 7, 2017

While Ross was just letting you know the truth of it:

While Cattsy proved that a rolling Moss gathers no stones #DidYouSeeWhatITDidThere:
So I'm meant to #RhymeAnApology
But it's really very hard.
I think I'll just go back on holiday,
Rather than turn into a bard. pic.twitter.com/RiGtzyP8my— ⚜️ Cattsy ⚜️ (@Cattereia) June 7, 2017
John was back and making things a teensy bit awkward:

So yes, some great tweets, but even amidst the greatness, there were a small few that we thought deserved super special mention and those are the tweets that make up this week’s F.L.O.P. SEVEN:
[7] The Doctor scored some Top Python points with this nod to one of my favourite scenes:

[1] But John [who is going to be co-hosting this week’s game cos he is one of my absolute favourite hashtaggers] is this week’s F.L.O.P. Tweeter with this absolute classic that had me lolling out the lols for actual real:
