Wiping the sleep from my eyes,Barely able to stifle a yawn,I stretch my back fully,And try to appreciate a glorious dawn.Have had eight hours in bed,A long night of unrest.Could not shut down my mind,Wondering when it left, the zest.I ain’t my usual...

With a dimple on his chin,And sexy tousled hair,Girls, he can easily win,Admirers, have more than his share. He’s an entertainment superstar,Almost the status of an icon.Fans come from near and far,Camping out on his lawn. Seemingly unmoved by this a...

Went to keep an appointment,Turned out to be a disappointment.Felt cheated by the agent,Assured a man fit for Mr. World pageant.Made an effort to relax at any rate,Though not amused with my date.Beside an uncouth man from the East,Was disastrous, to...

Finished what I set out to do,That’s by the end of ten days,Her, I successfully woo,Put her in a romantic daze.Yes, my mission is accomplished,I can honestly announce.Though one might think it devilish,‘Tis a bet of a hundred sterling pounds.Now, wit...

Look at you from afar,As you stand across the bar,Having a swell time with the guys,Me, a drink none buys.Peep from behind a pillar,The view quite blur.To attract your eye, no courage,Yet would like you to acknowledge.I’ll serve you milord,My Greek G...
