Miss Bland

I met a young lady named Miss Bland
With whom I had a one night stand.
That spinster Miss Hocking
Found it real shocking.

Red lights ahead,

It was merely so-so

There is no pot in this tree!”

A talented young lady of Good Hope
Is an expert in tying a rope.
Some men spend time blogging
About the pleasures of flogging.
As for me, I visit Good Hope …

Literary Miss Lou

A literary young lady named Miss Lou
Being determined that her book break through
Lobbed it at the window
Of a publisher I know,
And that book it did break through!
