POET…AFTER (A) FASHION!

He calls himself “fashion poet”,

One or two others know it…

In pursuits

Avoiding lawsuits,

He certainly doesn’t want to blow it!

–

Him being man and all,

Must carefully judge his call…

With less passion

Than stereotypical fashion,

Not being the Beast at the ball.

–

Gender matters to him,

Especially if women…

They’re the kind

He most has in mind,

Do they mind if he tiptoes in?

THE OLD ROMANTIC FOOL BREAKS AWAY

THE OLD ROMANTIC FOOL BREAKS AWAY!

–

He wouldn’t stay in the cage,

Of comportment for his age….

But ran off dreaming

Fool idea streaming,

As though he ruled the stage.

–

At very least he’d be slapped

For daring to open his yap…

For things he can’t do

(He’s spoken for, too!),

Luring beauties into his trap.

–

But will he follow through,

With what he claims he would do…<3

Never fear

This time of year,

He forgets too much to!

–Jonathan Caswell

(She’s safe…for me, anyway!)
