I'm so bored today that I wrote a little poem. I know it doesn't need those commas, I was just trying to get the cadence down properly and I'm too lazy to remove them.
As darkness fell, across the dell, a man began to wonder
"If I were to dance, without my pants, would that be a blunder?"
As hard as he tried, he couldn't decide, though he quite wracked his brain
"Will the townsfolk, know it's a joke, or will they think I'm insane?"
Across the town, wearing a frown, a woman began to cry
"I feel like hell, Heartbreak Hotel, so lonely that I could die"
What she could do, she hadn't a clue, to repair her aching soul
"I guess that I'll walk, along the block, and clear my head with a stroll"
The man took a drink, to help himself think, soon he had made up his mind
"It's not a gaffe, people will laugh, when they see my behind"
Jeans on the floor, he opened the door, and strode off into the night
"Sans-dungarees, the wind on my knees, what an hilarious sight!"
The woman meanwhile, so far from a smile, had taken a turn for the worse
"I'm eight blocks from home, sad and alone, and seem to've forgot my purse"
With no phone or keys, not even CC's, she stood on the brink of despair
"I'll walk up that ridge, onto the bridge, and throw myself off; I don't care!"
The man walked along, humming a song, dancing his own little jig
"This freedom is great, why did I wait? I feel like I've been such a prig."
With toes a-tappin', and naughty bits flappin', something still wasn't quite right.
"I need to find one, who likes to have fun, to join me this glorious night."
Perched on the ledge, right near the edge, the woman was getting cold feet.
"I'm sick of this life, I'm nobody's wife, but can I admit defeat?"
Her mascara running, she saw someone coming, and could not believe her eyes
"That man over there, he's covered with hair, and not just his head but his thighs!"
Approaching the span, that mostly-nude man, he noticed the woman in peril.
"Excuse me Miss, please don't do this, come down and talk. Hi, I'm Darrel."
The woman, in shock, just stared at his... socks, 'til finally she cracked a smile.
"I'm kind of a prude, don't meant to be rude, but it appears that you're a gentile."
The man thought this jest was simply the best and fell in love right on the spot
"I'm such a buffoon, I know it's too soon, but I'd like it if we tied the knot."
The woman was floored, to feel so adored, immediately out of her funk
"I love you too, and I'll say 'I do', but first you should cover your junk."
Please feel free to be creative (bored) in this thread.
