Tensing each minute she's jewel
Crafted with perfection
Ah marketers jewel
Shines like ah ruby
A red night sky
Each passing minute
As thyme goes by
As thyme goes buy
Flavorful the steaks
Smokey cigar filled lounge
Away from the fans
Away from the crowds
She smiles in admiration
The tulips bloom
Sweet the gesture
Our honeymoon
Now as I wonder
She is seamster
Bussing through the lace
Sweet satisfying
Ah smile on her face
I'm just waiting
No thyme to erase
A lovers minute
At ah lovers pace
She makes me oh she gally
Whoomp she do
Ah sweet minute
On our honeymoon
What are we missing
It just me and you
Romantic sounds
For just us two

Junior Seamster
A thread shared from a spool
In red pigment meant cool
He pokes thread through the eye
Evokes mom smooth as pie
Thumb bled, pain caused a drool
Bunkbed, unmade, "old school"
Unsaid, thought it cruel
Ahead, the moms face rule

Verses In Essence - 8 Lines
~~Joseph May: Judged 2020 July 11
LIFE’S STRESSES
Day and night the Tower of London is guarded
By a guy in a special suit, known as a beefeater.
Should an equal-opportunity female suit be for a beefeatress?
And a woman skilled at making clothing is a seamstress -
Should an equal-oppo man similarly skilled be a seamster??
After all we have a Union of Teamsters,
So are female membership cards for teamstresses?
Should I start to use the formal form of address
By calling my colleague at school a teacheress?
Should I not use the old joke about a mistress
Being something between a mister and a mattress?
