Mental Enough

Mentally  endowed enough,
to take the piffle from your puff,
and ram it home, sweet butter cup,
side effects are frightening,

miscarriage of justice, can put you off
and pride slips cos you're the Toff
that damaged goods, while cancer scoffs.
Not so enlightening. 

thick as your arm is mental charm,
which may be so inviting,
don't even want to cause alarm.
yet love is still exciting

4-jul-11   Don Johnson
