Premium MemberUnbefitting

I was drawn to you, from the first instant
something about you aroused my senses
a message unspoken, and insistent
that could somehow bypass my defenses.

I couldn’t show it, you couldn’t know it,
so I sat quietly and ignored you.
When chasing dreams, love is unbefitting 
this I’d been told, and so, it must be true.

When I met you again, you were funny,
not what I assumed, you were something new.

Hashtag, as a boyfriend, he’s been money,
such was the start of our kissing booth truth.


Premium MemberThe Banker's Yacht

I went fishing last week with a banker
On an impressive one hundred foot yacht
But when I joked and called it a tanker
I fathomed my real big fat mouth was caught

I threw out my line, hooked one, and yanked her
But it snapped my feeble rod like a twig
Although what elevated my rancor
Was that the fish got my favorite jig

Therefore, I tried once again to shank her
With that large hook used to lift bales of hay
But in this case that didn’t help bank her
Coz once again the darn thing got away

So I stuck some bait onto the anchor
And then dropped it into the deep blue sea
But that beast pulled the yacht down and sank her
And that’s the last time that he fished with me.

Premium MemberHeroic Pests

Batman had some guests who outdid their stay
By making a muddle with their foul play

Robin was first, yet his diet of late
Were larva and worms that slid off his plate

Spiderman came without hesitation
Except his kids caused an infestation

By crawling about for a place to spin
And webbing the doors so none could get in

He welcomed Green Hornet as a fond guest
But not all his tiny flying pet pests

Ant-man and The Wasp also brought their kids
Which added hundreds of problems, they did

As Batman fluttered behind them that night
He couldn’t refrain from taking a bite
 
Of heroic spawn in many guises
Coz they bugged Batman and came in pint sizes

Premium MemberThe Joy of Spam

One day, a convict got away, and went out on the lam.
And on the sly, he did buy, his very own kitchen cam.
Wanting to glow, in a reality show, though not a ham.
This jailbird, much preferred, to star in the Joy of Spam.

Meter, meter I am going to meet her
See her, see her, I am going to see her
Greet her, greet her, I am going to greet her
Treat her, treat her, I am going to treat her
Please her, please her, I am going to please her
Leave her, leave her, I am going to leave her
What kind of meter is this would you say?
I guess the fickled kind....
