Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

At Sea Over Losing Weight

   The Skipper of the Ship
     asked the Vipper of Vip
       to please tone it down on the trip

   The Vipper said, ‘Skip, 
     my tongue always slips
        a few little quips 
          into the end of each line’

     Well, the Skipper sat back
       and finding naught to attack
         ate the third cookie 
           ~ of his afternoon snack
