Oh Dear, What Can the Matter Be

Oh Dear, what can the matter be?
All I said was I hated her po-et-ry.
She put a red shirt in my white laun-der-y
now I wear pink underwear!

Catching up on my poetry reading and came across this gem. Very good Dale, and I agree with several below as far as how funny it is and the stopping of the rhyme was genius but about pink, that was just to cold! Having to buy new clothes and all.....80)...(I would anyway)...............patrick

I must agree with Cheryl on this one. As a matter of fact, I wrote a poem entitled It Takes A Real Man To Wear Pink.
