The trees are all a’sway.
The dafs, with blooms beginning,
Bow their heads in mock dismay.

as if you were an ostrich fan
all fluffed up on the page

...All around me, the ugliness and rays.
Those scrimshaw eyes, I’m dizzy with the haze.
My pulsepoint jumped, too cozy with our friend.

Premium MemberHer What - Bawdy Limerick

... 
There once was fat lady who liked to strut,
she liked to flirt, flounce and show off her butt;
to sashay in a square dance,

Down New Orleans way, danced the Mardi Gras.

Boy and Barn

...Bitty birds scuffle and flounce
under the roofed-in.
Barn dusted, rafters crust and whiffle.
Snuffle go the whiskered,

clatters over dawn hedgerows.
