---circumspection
Cease to amaze me over flows abundant nurturing
caring so to endear in the premise of the calling goes
covering caressing those thoughts of embitterment
crossing the lines of severed endearment we choose
choice reapplied, realignments governed by hope yet
coming to befriend insisting nothing else but
concerned oneself with caution unwilling to take risks prudence

COMPROMISE
There was a young man from Bordeaux
Who had some work done down below.
Deft realignments;
Certain refinements:
He’s now a young girl from Bordeaux
His girl friend who hailed from Paree,
Called round the next morning to see.
She said, “I suppose,
Now you’ve one of those,
It’s lesbian marriage for me
