Writing a rhyming poem can be real fun
Sometimes it can give you a hard time
So you are forced to use TYME for time
Or break grammar rule with RAN for run.
She happened to be called a woman
Although she doesn’t want to hear it
The revered Big Book clearly says it
That she was made specially for man.
I’ll like to move into a rented house
Where I’ll have the right to own a pet
Life without my favorite kind of pet
Often causes the intrusion of a mouse.
I once met a lady who was nice and sweet
It was at a popular New Jersey mall
We joked and giggled a lot in the mall
And finally set a date on which to meet.
I remember dating a girl called Mary
Who was better known and called May
Strangely we met in the month of May
But parted in July for rushing to marry.
I can live on honey, coconuts, plumes and dates
For months or years alone in a vine
And still be able to enjoy red wine
And not have to eat cooked food served in plates.
There was a homeless guy who asked for a quarter
While we were in a zoo admiring an alligator
He said he dreamt of becoming a navigator
So he would like to marry and sail with my daughter.
No matter how strong they may have started
Some relationships are unlikely to last forever
Sooner or later their attraction will be over
And the one-time lovers will then be parted.
