You Are Pure :: No More Sin
You are pure ~ Poetic Type:: Mid-Swap
Under tree, he saw that man there.
None knew why man arrived, from where.
A bum look, none talked, except him.
Appeared to be wise, can't be grim.
Every one says man is crazy
First look he felt no, not zany.
Asked man can he get back his grin,
as since retired he's hooked to sin.
Man assured him, nothing to scare.
Under tree, he saw that man there.
Man asked about sin, he whispered.
Bring your sin, be free, said wizard.
Rushed home to bring sin for the man
took sin kept in bag, coat of tan.
Man opened bottle took two drops
of water; on his head it stops,
Said you are pure, your new name is ...
Man assured him, nothing to scare.

No more sin ~ Poetic Type: Hidden Rhyme or Blind Rhyme
With assurance returned home gladly.
He manly opened the freezer door,
no more sin; took out bottles of Rum.
Learned thumb rule well; he put water drop
on top of each bottle; whispered you
have no clue; from today you are pure,
you're Tonic- your new name. Happily
and randomly picked up one bottle
in awful voice he started singing
drinking tonic.......with a throat so sore
before he dropped from chair loudly.
