Getting Back

Here’s to the young lad named TRUSTY,

back then the girls were quite BUSTY,

no wonder his thoughts were LUSTY.

Lately, that thinking’s getting DUSTY,

cause the joint(s) is/are getting RUSTY!

*For the Monorhyme contest using every rhyme I ever heard with my name growing up.

Enjoyed the humor, John. I'd rather be busy and surely would be a bit more lusty if I weren't so rusty. Congratulations on your success in the contest. Love, Carolyn
