Myzygy

A waist is a terrible thing to mind.
A coin that you lost is less of a find.
No tie at a wedding puts you in a bind.
A watch cannot tell that it’s time for a wind.
Coffee beans ease but cause twice-daily grinds.
The HMS Beagle was likely designed.
The irons in the fire all come out refined.
If you can’t see, you can’t drink yourself blind.
Myzygy is when your stars are maligned.

Like it. The first line is twisted and Your mind boggling coin collections. Love those twice-daily grinds. LOL

Cute...and clever, Jeff. I enjoy writing these monorhymes occasionally myself. Exercise for the mind!
