I’m waiting for that morning
To bring the loch back to my eyes
And you darling you
Turn into a runaway cloud
And let your shower
Bloom my desire

An old chap from near San Diego
Suffered from chronic lumbago,
He tried using cocaine
Again and again,
Then decided to eat lots of sago.

Was sniffing a pot full of glue,
He thought it was yummy
But it upset his tummy
So he stopped in the park for a poo !!

Just wanted to be a bit sleeker
For each night he knew
He must run to the loo
If no dribbles he'd yell out “Eureka”!!

Could swim like a well aimed torpedo,
Whilst passing some kelp
He let out a yelp,
Which improved on his flagging libido!

A young man who lived in L.A.
Would walk on the beach every day,
While watching the ships,
He would wiggle his hips,
Not for fun, but because he was gay!

Had legs just a little bit gammy,
He would quite often fall
When he shopped in the mall
And land with a 'whomp' on his fanny!

This guy who was rough and unshaven
Ran nude through the park
For a bit of a lark
Then got pecked on the butt by a raven!!

Was chewing a tasty pimento,
She then bit her tongue
And although very young,
Cried out "Shucks! NOW I've got a memento!"

To sell all his chicks and a cock,
He had scars on his neck
Where the critters would peck,
And feathers stuffed inside his sock!

was witty, creative, yet callous,
he made sculptures from wood
that most understood
except one that looked just like a phallus!

Who was terribly thin, even gawky,
Her brother, called Pat,

Was feeling quite down on his luck,
So to fill in some time

Who collected her eggs in a bucket,

Had habits that some thought quite quirky,
He ate pancakes with prunes,
Whilst singing rude tunes,

With only his hat and his boots on,
His butt got real sore,
So he cussed and he swore,

Always proffered her scones dipped in cream,
She would wriggle her hips,
So she got lots of tips,
While the menfolk all let off some steam!!

Would always look over her shoulder

The Scenic Route

February marks the date but we don't celebrate.
Relationship is real-
Daily struggle, money temptations, and 
suicidal moments… 
We took the scenic route but have only seen one mountain.

Deciding between many paths 
Choosing the one that is satisfactorily
Leading to a bypath
Making to decide more carefully
