Just Silly

There was a man I knew
who liked tobacco chew,

and to habit gave in
spit into the win'...

finish my poem
with your line or two:

There was a man, all
black and blue;

with no one around to sue – 

his protagonist absconded,
full throttle, right angles
he rounded – so, not
knowing now what to do...

the poor dear needs another line or two:

There seemed no word to show – 
the writer with blocks like holey socks
but not a length of thread to sew...

his choices down to go barefooted
or, for drastic inspiration, have
some perfectly good teeth uprooted,

his muse out of reach
sunning herself on a nude
beach....
