Fair and Square Humorous Patter Sayings Poetry Contest

Now that the contest has been finalised, there is nothing stopping you to extend it. I updated my 'poetry form' to 'couplets' as I don't think that it really fits the bill insofar as 'lyric' is concerned.

Haha thanks Suzette - I got carried away and wrote about 20 - I went safe with these ones as the others veered off into kama sutra, court rooms and down with the patriarchy :)

A Stud at night is a dancing delight. But a Stud in the morning is a dancer's warning.
