They sat alone in the quiet silver night,
the stir of a leaf
made them quiver with fright

Owed to the moon,
the night was silver,
because of the loon,
the lady did quiver.

And remember, a "free gift," is a pleonasm.

[ManISOMan]

The pie needed flavor,
she threw in some orange,
the pied-a -terre needed flair
she added some fringe

[ManISOMan]

Her favorite color was purple,
but when she saw the dog's pink erect penis,
she thought she would faint,
and instead thought of purple

[ManISOMan]

Here on the forum in this month,
I'm thought to be a bit recondite
decided to eat lunch,
still, they're uptight.

[ManISOMan]

It doesn't all work,
and I'm not liked anyway,
I'm not a poet,
and don't I know it.
Still, this I say,
I won't go away

...................at least not today!

[ManISOMan]

So, you're not part of the clique,
sometimes thought a "dick,"
What do you do with your time,
sit there and rhyme.

[ManISOMan]

Will someone outshine me,
with their talent to write,
I think they may,
I think they mite.

Of course, you're thinking,
it wouldn't take much,
just give me a sec,
let me put down my clutch.

[Longislander]

that was sweet ManISOman

[ManISOMan]

Thank you, Longislander!

Given some time, I've come up with this.......
You man never understand why,
some people's favorite is the colour of purple.
Anymore than you'll know for a fact,
if Richard Gere ever did do that thing with a gerbil.
So, you may as well sit there, relax,
and enjoy your wine, cheese, and chervil.
Pardon me now, I must go and piss.

[ManISOMan]

I apologize for the typo..............the second line in previous post should begin.........You may never..............but I'm certain most everyone figured that out.
