A Fin A Poem

Contributed by norm on Sunday, 18th April 2004 @ 09:50:52 AM in AEST
Topic: HumorPoetry



I read in the paper a poet comes forth,
In a town fifty miles away to the north,
This poet's going to read from his works,
To me, he's entitled to numerous perks.

Perks, my foot, he's asking a fin
From all the folks who they're gonna let in,
Why didn't I think of this scam long before,
and grab me five bucks at the big exit door.

I'll take me some poems, and put them in bags.
A limerick or two, just for some gags,
And sally forth, like olden knights did,
And hustle the yokels like good old El Cid.

You be assured that the object is dough,
If I get enough, to party we go,
We'll huff and we'll puff and we'll make plenty din,
And sooner or later, we'll all have some gin.
