Book Report - Phantom of the Opera

The phantom of the opera was sincere, 
but, with him, I wouldn't want to share a beer. 
Not only that, but furthermore, in any case, 
have you ever happened to see his face?

A spectral figure, clothed in red,
he had no face upon his head. 
High o'er Paris on an opera house roof,
she described that phantom goof - 

here is what our pretty Christine said 
about our hero whom she had misled,
"he's a monster, a loathsome beast",
an understatement, to say the least.

Since we communicate with words, beware. Some of us may have that funny face. Mine actually looks like a sheep's face as seen in my logo. Lol. I did enjoy your poem immensely.

Glad you enjoyed it. I wish these logos weren't so small - I can't really see them!
