Words Become Delinquent


I dropped a rhyming couplet somewhere near.
So if you find it, could you bring it here?
I had it in my pocket, but – oh dear! –
I didn’t even feel it disappear.
The metre of the words was just iambic;
It wasn’t all that fanciful or classic.
Loosely themed round something faux-romantic,
You’d recognise it if you ever passed it.
Alas! Fie! Woe is me! - and all that nonsense
That men in tights should say on stage with glee -
But for myself, well, I’d rather drink essence
Of Skol and Frosty Jack mixed with cat pee.
So if you find my couplet, please do stop it
From joining in a deviant, foul sonnet.
