Pokey Mon



He just can’t seem to control himself,
always placing his hands on someone else
Poking around in sensitive places,
mon dem fingers love groping at de silk laces

Always has a salacious sneer 
to offer reluctant gender opposites
Mon loves giving a lewd leer,
as his prurient poking never quits

Pokey sits pouting in a pokey today ...
in de dog pound there’s a lot of strays
Mon don’t feel bad for him, no — 
he in de right place where de social trash go

I was intrigued by the title and the poem is far more absorbing.

Yes, I see this has double meaning. The title was catchy and I liked how you played with that name...Great write.
