Mark Koplin Poet Rhyme

Riddle-Guess My Name

I rhyme with an article that covers a crack.
This clue is worn right under your back.
I’m just a moth in search of a flame.
Many think I’m a fool… can you guess my name?

I rhyme with a word that means down under.
I’ve had some success and many a blunder.
My words and actions, have brought about shame.
I’ve worn a dress and makeup… can you guess my name?

I try to be funny with my words of wit.
My face is ugly and looks like a popped zit.
My act was short in my ten minutes of fame.
My reign here is over… can you guess my name?

Christmas has ended, so take down your wreath.
Give us a smile and show us some teeth.
There are no rules for this curtain call.
Those are your clues, good luck to you all.
