Paul Callus Poet Verse

Quizzing

The Bermuda Triangle.
Are we talking shorts
Or waxing?

Some are masters of deceit.
Should they have been born
Chameleons?

Many shoes, but all one size.
Leaving us with what,
Hobson’s choice?

To make pizza or pancakes.
Tough decision, or
A toss-up?

The road is winding and steep.
Will you walk with me
All the way? 

Hurry upstairs to put on tights.
Dash for the ladder?
Run along?

She is loud but alluring.
Would you say she is
A siren?

Dictatorial republic:
Be corrupt or go
Bananas?

He is itching to begin.
Should he wait? Should he
Start from scratch?

* This is a set of quinzaines that requires 
   much reading between the lines.
