The Teach's From Brookl'N / Dedicated Ta Sweetheart

T hey’d aughta not called nookie
H eaven’s blessed cookie...
E ither burd or bee, cause neither's a lookie! 

B urds well der feathered, not like me?
I n da interest of clarity, I’m certainly NO bee?
R obins do have red breasts and I have two, see?
D ern, maybe dat's why dey calls dem da burds and da bees?
S o, if da ladies da burd, da guy must be da bee? 

A nyway, why didn’t dey call IT da cows and da doves?
N ow, cows at least got legs and doves are for luv!
D rat, I still don’t get da bee stingy thingie, "Gov?"

T he bees has a sting YIKE and bees sure love honey.
H ell, maybe they thought a man'd sting ya for money?
E ither dat or “Hmmm,” some ladies are real punny?

B et we women smell real sweet, I guess, and da bees fly to honey?
E eeeeeekkk, I so confuddled, I feel like Mikey Rooney? 
E ach dern metaphors is making me more looney tooney!
S imply forget da dern foolishness and give me a groomie!

brilliant acrostic. the words that you used, "dey" and "da" for example, put me in the mindset of one of my favorite poets Langston Hughes. enjoyed the read. thank you for sharing this one with us.

Per your last comment, I haven't a clue. Except that I have seen no rules on limericks that require iambic pentameter, if that's what you're saying.

Funny acrostic, Deborah! Surely some ladies have had men sting them for money. You had me laughing out loud. Love, Carolyn
