Over the Line
There was once a young man who was vexed
That his girlfriend was so oversexed.
When the couple was done
With their intimate fun,
She would shout toward the living room: “Next!”
Because It’s There, Too
Pair atop, there atop,
Edmund P. Hillary
Marveled from Everest,
“Wow! What a view!
Frankly, though, buddy, I’ll
Next time choose something more
Mediterranean.
How about you?”
Luke Warmth
Fatherdy-botherdy,
Anakin Skywalker
Shattered our hero with
“Luke, I’m your pop.
When’s your gratuitous,
Incomprehensible
Father’s Day negligence
Going to stop?”
