Short Gentlemanly Poems

A gentlemanly stranger
plays delicious treachery, 
behind a deceiving laugh.

Never the desire to love
or take you seriously.
He consumes your hot desire.

Your hero finally here,
blinded by your white passion,
you dive into the spiral....

Sometimes I wonder what it would be
Like to just sit, just you and just me
And not say a word yet in silence speak loud
Through hearts via hands, honored and proud
That my hand is holding yours, soft to the touch
Your hands are so lovely, I want to so much
Lift them and kiss them gentlemanly
You're so charming, a woman of elegancy...

Bite Me

May fortune fall upon you
And give you riches by the slew
A mansion huge with twenty rooms
Designed into the finest style
And in each room bespangled glass

And because you are a wretched ass
and lack a gentlemanly guile
leaving nothing to presume
May diarrhea follow you 
from one to twenty rooms

Arrogant hornless bull from farm roots
Dressing in dapper gentlemanly tweed suits
Topping his shirt with a gorgeous striped tie
Some of the cows in the pen say “my oh my!”

What is it about a suit? The blue collared bull asks.
Upset with their feminine wiles, his face is not masked.
He gives the hornless bull a nod with his mean hoof.
Do not ask me for a selfie, for I have no evidence or proof....

I took a walk on Yorkshire green
And met a snobbish English lord
He asked what right I had to been
In gentlemanly tones so bored
I smiled at unctuous nose so  high
And said I had na' meant t' pry
But I'd been simply walking by
And stopped to sip a little rye
But if I'd hurt his simple pride
To please consider suicide
He left in such a royal huff
It must a been just quite enough
T'see a man wi' soul sa free
He'd deign t' e'en speak wi' thee...

There once was a man named Lee,
Who was called General Lee
His full name was Robert E. Lee
He was from the South
He was very Southerly

When the big fight broke out,
You could always count on Lee
To answer the call of his fellow brothers
He fought for the South
Very gentlemanly

When he lead, everyone followed
For you see, there was no one better then Lee
A rough and tough, till the very end
We Southerns will always miss you, General Lee....
