Et Cetera Done In End Rhyme

Should I write in rhyming words
are you babies I should coo
and speak of love and little boats
and of Dr. Seuss’s zoo.

Should I write of baby dolls
in rhyming words oh so sweet
Are you babies or men all
aged and complete.

I should coo and speak of love
of pacifiers and bottles
and little boats and planes above
size with a throttle.

Should I settle for small little men
who never tire of Dr. Seuss's Zoo
or go to bed, and say amen 
let the throttle through.

Bravo! Excellent example for your own contest, Deb. I found it interesting that you chose Dr. Zeus over Dr. Seuss. Perhaps all men feel like kings, just as Zeus was king of the gods and goddesses in mythology. Great way to express your feelings in rhyme. Quite remarkable! Love, Carolyn
