Jeff Kyser Poet Tail-rhyme

Easter Ocelot

I postulate ocelots
as proselytes for chocolate:
they’d get word out on the dot;
they’re easy to spot.

And I’d tell a parable 
or something comparable,
with a nugget of caramel
to be retold a lot.

Earth brown exterior:
clearly superior;
heavenly interior,
delicious and gold.

Here comes Sir Lancelot,
riding his ocelot.
Yeah, sure, it costs a lot,
but aren’t you sold?

As is (not really) said of bagels, 'You don't have to be Jewish to have a hole in your bread;' so too with ocelots: 'You don't have to ride an ocelot to like chocolate a lot!'
