Fullblown

I'm not to blame if I never lose weight,
Though I dieted for six centennials.
So why should I groan or bemoan my cruel fate?
All my blooming' taste buds are perennials!

Romantics

Romantics are filled with consternation,
When told love's a question of location
In time, grown wiser, they know defeat,
Crying, "How can you love one you never meet?"

Equal Time

If true, "Time heals all wounds", one feels,
Then, time should also wound all heels.

My Knight Errant

If my love for thee counts for nought,
Perchance a short knight twill enthrall.
"Tis better to have loved a short,
Than never to have loved a tall.

Stroke of Genius

The so-called music,
From heavy metal and hard rock,
To booming blasts of boogie-woog.
could it be heard by Sebastian Bach,
He would really blow a fugue!
