A Rhyme of Her First Time
A rhyme of her first time.
She stayed for roughly an hour.
And after his bliss
Took a shower.

I said to him, “Coker,
You’ve always been a joker!”,

As I
Grow older, I
Doze more
In my armchair.
I wonder
When and Where
I will die.
A Matter of Weight
When a young lady named Lin
Was accused of a terrible sin
An elderly judge called Katie
Said, “this matter is weighty”.
But Lin was really quite slim!
When an Elderly Spinster Named Anne
When an elderly spinster named Anne
Said, “is that a naked man!”,
A young lady named Valerie
Said, “it’s an art gallery!”,
Which disappointed that spinster named Anne …
