Prisoner

Fair maiden, you've come to save me, just in time.  
I am a poor prisoner of rhyme.
We'll smell the blossoms.  We'll drink the wine.
Oops, I just made another Frankenstein.

ha ha, I like. For some odd reason it reminded of a joke I haven't thought of in ages: "At a dance amongst high society was heard a loud poot causing one gentleman to turn to another and say, 'how dare you *art before my wife', and the gentleman responded, 'sorry, I didn't know it was her turn.'
