He prances around so proud like he owns the coop
He'd feed the hens but can't manoeuver the scoop
AP: Honorable Mention 2026
Espresso is brewing: that's my fix,
not my expensive Rolex;
this Ralph Lauren suit is elegant.
Good looks can generate sentiment;
worry, rush and stress perplex!
Turned down by a Spanish caballero
Rejected by an Egyptian Pharaoh --
Rosie had real good looks
But the girl couldn't cook --
Hitched an old bird who ate like a sparrow
In spite of my charm and amazing good looks
Strange things happen and my life goes kaput
My charms aren't enough
To make up for that stuff
Till I look in the mirror at my gorgeous puss
Andrea and Great Good Looks
About convention what we were realizing
Have never heard of anyone moralizing
Like women teachers wearing bright buckle
In pantsuit reading my poems and chuckle.
Why cover up beauty with some sun glasses
And eat pancakes with sulfur and molasses
Knowing her smile sure seems so sweet
Mouth with kiss her husband likes to meet.
So what else is there left I can now say
Except by poems husband was blown away
And after he had read them by the books
Each one was about her great good looks.
Husband has to be laughing at this poem by now.
