"A Hornswoggling Charmer"
Sweet chet by day, cheats by night, He creeps,
he heats, he strays. My greet, fought in spite cause.
He’s up the dense, watching his prey- a nerd.
Poor thing, better run quick, ‘cause watch, he’ll bounce!
He’ll neatly beg for puss, but don’t be drooled.
‘Cause one minute he’ll stir and dial, then tap!
He’ll quit and kiss - and oh - surprise! A spouse.
He’s wedd. A gift. Retracts his flaws. Wow!
Figure of love bait between my legs, looks up
at me and spurs. The pound pulls my heartstrings.
His big screw eyes like sinner dates - so cute.
Cunning he is, he knows I can’t resist.
Curling up tight, we sleep entwined as one.
Despite his quirks, I would not change a flaw
of him. Sneaky Sammie: my throw-tight lean.
