Premium Member Persnickety Pete
Cattle rustler’s name - Persnickety Pete
Never rustled, just lured cattle with treats
   For a rustler, a freak
   Pete was a real sneak
If treats didn’t work, he’d pull a cow’s teats...

“Persnickety” is placing too much emphasis
On trivial or minor details
**** is another good way to describe it
Uptightness usually prevails

Be careful when you call someone persnickety
Most don't take to it kindly
Better be ready to defend yourself my friends
They'll come at you swinging wildly

Don't know why people...

Premium Member Persnickety About Who She Dates
She is persnickety about who she dates if I’m not mistaken.
We have brought her many contenders, but nothing has taken.
She likes looking for herself, her choices have gone asunder.
At least these days she is running out of rocks to look under....

extremely

never
indicate the

energy
that you are trying to impart.

Perhaps.

Eventually insanity wins out
Relegating
Sentences
Indubitably
Frivolous and
Leaving
Any and all superfluous
Grandiosity
Empty of purpose....

Persnickety porcupine are you a rodent then?
Are those quills at the end of your tiny chin-chin?
To the ocean, have you ever travelled or been?
Swimming with porpoises next to your prickly skin?...

Persnickety Phoebe parades pompously
Privately, we make fun where she can’t see
We are kind of mean
Think we are unseen
But Karma comes back indubitably...

Premium Member Persnickety
Picky just like an old school pin up,
easily a trendsetter with scope.
Registered at first glance a star.
Strutting she knows what  sells,
notorious for that catchy slogan
‘I won’t ever provide an alibi.’
Cute with a mouth that’s caustic,
kerchief in her hand style attack.
Each detail devastatingly divine.
Tantalize with...

She did a whizbang job on her science project
Her teacher was impressed and did a genuflect

These perfectionists had done it after sending her out to play...

Premium Member Persnickety Peg
Persnickety Peg invited me to the spa
We were going to be Zen, with a relaxing ha ha
We sat in the sun, soaking up rays off the snow
She wore her sunglasses, and her face was aglow.

She barely remembered I was there with her at all.
Our masseuse...

Premium Member he was puffed up and persnickety
He was puffed up, persnickety, proud beyond most female’s belief.
Loving his rainbow colors, showing himself off to his wife’s sheer grief.
She was a plain brown peahen, who did not show off or boast.
She had to laugh a little when his fellow peacocks decided to roast.

Would you like to smoke a favorite cig?

He is being tempted by his cousin Quig

How about alcohol? Please take a swig.
Come here, persnickety pig, don’t be a prig.

Premium Member persnickety aunts provide provocative audience
persnickety aunts probably authored private annuals
providing all plebes and prospects a polite answer
allowing provocative avid public a peek
at potential artistic playgrounds amid positive attitudes
plentiful alluring prancing and allegiance provided
amid persnickety aunts pleasing astronomical prospects
allegedly pleasant as polite aunties possibly assent
plebes always providing appreciative provocative audience...
