There is Something Poignant About the Sunshine

There is something poignant about the sunshine.
A girl’s soft kiss
Is divine.
The bliss
Of fingers
That linger,
Intertwined in mine.

The light lingers,
A girl’s fingers
Still intertwine.
The night breeze
Will freeze
This heart
And art
Of mine.

A Young Lady Dressed in Stilettos and Socks

A young lady dressed in stilettos and socks
Said, “I am extremely fond of grandfather clocks.
And, if I had the time
I’d write many a great rhyme,
And I’d wear more than stilettos and socks!”.

I Heard A Click of Heels

I heard a click of heels,
And thought of skin,
Slippery as eels.
I heard a knocking in the night
And thought how thin
Is the material separating one from
The delight
Of sin.

Virtue wears the same, Boring
Old smile.
She will have you snoring.
But sin, she has style!

When A Young Lady Named Lou

When a young lady named Lou
Said, “I’m feeling kind of blue”,
I said, “that’s quite enough of that,
You must put back on your hat,
As the bishop’s due here at 2!”.
