Trip On a Tanker

Trip On A Tanker

We had taken a trip on a tanker;
Arrived at a dock and did anchor;
We would land;
Saw much sand;
The first one off was a big banker.

Premium Member Bug Bite

Scratching a bug bite.
      A bug bit him in the rear.
       Which was the culprit?
      Could it be a mosquito?
 He slept butt-naked last night.
      It's probably a bed bug!

Urbane Disdain

URBANE DISDAIN

Rapier wit, persiflage and banter
In repartee, an eloquent out-flanker
Faced with insult, virulence and rancour
His response could not be ‘insoucianter’

When attacked or critiqued
He will not be piqued 
Smooth as whisky antique:
These - his words cool and sleek

“You’ve a face like a snapper,
 Your sister’s a slapper,
 Your mother is built like a tanker”

This little woman is making me beg
for her mix of sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
She has a taste so delightfully sweet.
This is a girl anyone would like to meet.
How I wish she could be mine exclusively.
However, this girl seems to pass me elusively.
She gives me a thirst an ocean cannot assuage.
I would applaud for each of her times on stage.
How I would like to write on her empty page.
I have an ocean tanker full of affection.
Come on little one, head toward my direction.
