here is how this works: someone has to write a "proverb" (which can be as meaningless as you want as long as it's still a proper English sentence), and the next person has to explain what it means (this part does have to make sense), and then make the next "proverb". Rhyming, alliterations and other folksy stuff is strongly  encouraged but not required.

Corpses of unknown humans, when left lying around outside, tend to interfere with the growth of plants. On the other hand, the corpses of alcoholic woodland creatures will promote the growth of apple trees. In short, when placing corpses in your garden, be sure you're using the right corpse for the copse.
