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.

Then the door closed

On nondescript clothes.

 

 

She didn’t kiss  him goodbye

And left no perfume

In his bedroom.

Just her towel

On his chair

To prove she’d been there.

I Touch the Gravestone

I touch the gravestone

Warm from the afternoon sun.

I have come

Here alone,

Many a time

My mind

Full of rhyme.

But under the cold gravestone

There is neither sun

Nor rhyme.

There Once Was a Poet Named Moat

Who traveled the seas with a goat.

That beast wrote verse

Which grew steadily worse.

But it wrote better poetry than Moat!

When I Met a Lap Dancer

Who asked me to go and romance her,

I said to her, “Lin,

There can be no sin!

But then again, my name it is Chancer!”.

As the Rain Fell

As the rain fell

I thought of our love

Of rain.

You and I

Share the same sky.

But does love

Hide inside the rain.

When a Young Man with a Perm

When a young man with a perm

Said, “truly you are a worthless worm!”.

I said to him, “Coker,

You’ve always been a joker!”,

As with shears I chopped  that perm!

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 …
