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.

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. [comments] => 6 [counter] => 203 [topic] => 7 [informant] => norm [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => HumorPoetry )

A Fin A Poem

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.

Why didn't I think of this scam long before,
and grab me five bucks at the big exit door.
