Alec the Czech

I met a Czech now living in Quebec Very handsome in crisp turtleneck He tells a sad story about a shipwreck But now has a highfalutin job here in high tech Alec loves to strut muscles in a crew neck Play outdoor hockey and body check Climb mountains on a challenging trek Water ski off a summer cottage deck Answer any pop quiz about the Aztec Let loose at the swinging discotheque Draws the line at pretending he knows a speck About anything related to home ec One day Alec was about to write a blank cheque To some random bushwhacking redneck Who tried to sell him a bushel and a peck I sent him on a hike as he pulled a quick rubberneck I told Alec it was his dance moves I’d like to check And maybe let him nibble a little on my neck AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on October 2, 2018 for contest EARLY OCTOBER 2018 sponsored by BRIAN STRAND Originally posted on March 28, 2018
