standing at the altar
                              wearing a tuxedo
                              to his funeral...

There once was a young man from Toledo
Who fast needed to rent a tuxedo
He went in
Was too thin
Suit hung on him like a cloth gazebo...

Endangered penguins on the ice.
Small tuxedo wearing waiters.
Keep the party warm, in a trice
                     they'll need gaiters....

When things you do you always lose
You consequently have the blues
        How you will feel
        You can’t conceal
The world’s a Tuxedo and you are brown shoes!...

wow! hot sizzling steps
flourishes and flounces
she is in chiffon
where did he get the tuxedo?
he was never this debonair or polished when we dated
I stare, mesmerized...

There once was a bridegroom so wacky
His tuxedo was made of green khaki
   His bride screamed, "Ee gad!"
   Then went raving mad---
Her wedding ring was pure ticky-tacky...

her white chiffon dress swirled around his dark tuxedo
they were waltzing to the delight of their wedding guests
magical moment captured by cameras around the room
happily forever after...

My old tuxedo cat
   climbs again 
onto my lap
   seeking the comfort 
of my petting   rubbing hands,
just as so   my heart   seeks 
   the dear comfort 
of her soft gentle
   purrings....

Penguins are flightless birds
Their home Antarctic
They are sea birds
In colour they are black 
     and white
All they need is a 
     big red bow
To dress up their tuxedo
The ladies wear scarfs...

Black
satiny, ebony
dashing, unbridling, entertaining
formal tuxedo, athlete, wedding gown, chalk
snowing, swaddling, sparkling
cottony, sudsy
White

Tuxedo cat, come ride me said the flamingo rocker
He ran over and jumped on and soon had a gawker
Can I have the next ride? Asked a mouse at his feet.
Tuxedo cat said “certainly,” for he looked good to eat....

Serenity unfolds ~
   Upon a pond 
      of gentle calm,
He dances in clear moonlight ~
To an unheard grand piano,
   He glides 
     along his crystal floor ~
Moving in a peaceful rhythm,
In his white tuxedo....

Cheers to the Penguin
our tuxedo-feathered friend.
They're sorta shaped like bottles
from end to end.
Though he can't act, or model
On swimming most depend.
And they wobble at full throttle
Cheers to our little friends....

They dress for theater with gloves up to their elbows
The Roosevelts, Thomases, Rockafellers, and Shelbows.
They wear their glitziest tiaras, while carrying their fans.
On their arms they show off their tuxedo-wearing mans....

She mirrored the shape of a psychotic hooker
Tattooed by hickeys and bruises
Written upon the pages of her breasts
In lieu of her nightly pearl tuxedo
The teeth protruding from her ******
Began hissing and spitting at me
The war was far from over…...

Escargot, brie, foie gras
Fondue, confit, caviar 
Black tuxedo, evening dress
Handsome, gorgeous, do impress 
Opera in the royal hall
Afterwards a regal ball
Doors held open, jacket spread
Elegance and chivalry not dead...

Long  lilac  dress  pearl-grey  tie
Casual elegant beautiful woman
Smell fresh ground coffee beans
Newly refurbished town  houses
Colour swatches  drawing room
House in the family for centuries 
Man in tuxedo jovial atmosphere

Your skin like leather 
my bulletproof vest
inkling tubes 
tuxedo of flesh 
harness me
hand on chest 
in between sheets 
stringing me along like a kite 
refrained from taking advice 
whistle and jolt
the casual bubble bursts 
bleeding love
and
quenching thirsts...

You impose yourself with a heating posture.It costs you to thank somebody wearing slippers.
Any white tuxedo wearing man would spit at you.

He's tearing up all the streets with no found clemency.Smoking a cigar he finds pity in his kind.
Any heat imposing man would murder him....

This passing “pet”
he’s not ours yet
he plays his hunch
stops by for brunch
too big for a Speedo
he wears his tuxedo.
He’s tender, he’s tough
though he longs for the touch
soft scratch, or deep rub
purring….Oh God, it’s love.

You wear a clean tuxedo daily,
It gleams in the light, so soft,
You maul me with precious mittens,
Mittens I press a kiss to every time,
Watching you grow is a joy,
Every household object is a toy,
Ambitious you are,
How you speak to me,
Whining for a fresh can of tuna,
You are my princess, precious Chupa....
