Line Gauthier Poet Monorhyme

By the Cheese Tray

It’s another sordid workplace affair
Organized by the dashing and flamboyant Pierre
There should be a warning to beware
Bad week to start any diet – o what despair
Millions of calories everywhere 
On one side a mountain of chocolate éclair
On the other a huge tray of Camembert
It was hard enough to squeeze my derriere
Half-way out of this big cozy armchair
Till I managed to park myself elsewhere
Next to the cheese tray I do declare
There’s more than enough to share
I volunteered to sample so let them stare
Trying to look casually debonair
As my butt widens with each bite I’m aware
No one ever said life is fair

Rhona Mcferran November 20, 2018 at 6:56 PM Bwahahaha!!! ;D I LOVE this! It reminds me of my old workplace (except, we didn't have the "dashing and flamboyant Pierre"... what great fun! Line Gauthier November 20, 2018 at 8:10 PM Thanks, Rhona. Come to think of it I think I was the Pierre at all my workplaces... minus the flamboyance and dash. LOL

Timothy Mcguire November 20, 2018 at 4:43 PM Miss Line, Where to start, funny and a great story. But what I like best is every line rhymes. Hard to do. I think you are the best poet on this sight. You can write any style any topic. Impressive. Line Gauthier November 20, 2018 at 5:05 PM LOL Timothy, you are far too kind. I find monorhymes a lot of fun for letting loose and being silly.
