Coy Troy

Coy Troy, oh he was a big boy
But he really could annoy 
      He was always single
      With no girl to mingle 
Because oh Troy was a big boy
Form: Limerick


Helen of Troy

Her “face could launch a thousand ships”
It was love at first sight as I watched her strip
Till her camel toe
Began to show
And I realized she didn’t have lips!

Boy From Troy

Boy From Troy

There once was a boy from Troy
That Unisys would not employ
He said he really didn't care
he'd find work elsewhere
Now he's working for Henkels and McCoy
Form: Limerick

As If You Are Helen of Troy

As if you are Helen of Troy
You are such a nasty playboy

You wear a beautiful mask
From dusk to dawn dawn to dusk

You hurt me with Cupid’s arrow
My life is now full of sorrow

As if you are deaf and blind
You can’t hear and read my mind
Form: Lyric

Premium Member Helen of Troy, Revisited

Helen's was the face that launched a thousand ships - 
so wrote Christopher Marlow
to explain what spurred their haste to take that trip; 
but, I would like to ask him though,
this poet and playwright, wise and knowing - 
which way were they going?

The Best Thing For a Little Boy

Why insensibly annoy
The three-year-old boy
With tales about Ancient Troy
That does gaiety destroy,
When you can his vivacity buoy
With some blue-eyed toy
Or a much sweetened soy
That heightens a child’s joy;
Or before him act a decoy
Or some crazy song employ
About a girl unprofitably coy
The Pure Gold, a sweetened soy
Tales about Troy, The Alloy.

The City of Troy

Troy as a city of darkness
has his underlings
teaching the ways of wickedness
How to treat woman like playthings
His enticement of arena games
Watch me boys
See what I can get away with
We're on the night shift
In my cloak of playfulness
Tickle their feet and watch then giggle
As they dangle from a ladder
Eye them up longingly for the thrill
A medieval knight of the darkest kind
Watch your skirts girls
He'll come from behind
Playing his jokes of the sickest kind
