A hasty glance and still my heart leaped up
as ever to burst thrills within my breast.
If I knew more on the ways of romance,
I might not excite like some dizzy pup.
Just staring at his house excites love dreams.
I walk away from his home in love’s trance,
lost in the sweetest fantasy soared flames
and love schemes gleam in my heart streams.
I look for him on each sidewalk I pass,
in each of our town's retail window frames,
in any restaurant where I might sup
and I seek four leaf clover’s help in grass.
If one day he would turn and notice me,
he would see all the ways our souls agree,
he would know I am his heart’s appointee
and, I know, his would burst a ‘whoopee.’

(written for contest)
Pirates were known for their notorious acts of
This or that.
I learned while traveling the seas
That they were A mean frat
With an endless rum vat
Which got them in to all kinds of troubles on their
Journeys.
Pirates were known for their notorious acts of
This or that
The worst one was a tit for a tat
On whoever was the appointee
In the government at the time got the full
Attention of the frat.
Usually it was some fat bureaucrat
Who was trying to do something on the QT.
Pirates were known for their notorious acts of
This or that
Yet, Once in a while they would slip up and expose
A government rat
Who got their large chest of bootie
Which the frat
Lost out on. Drat!
So much for being good time to sail
Off in to the sunset on to their next spree.
Pirates were known for their notorious acts of
This or that
They were a mean frat.
