He:
Oh my darling, stop giving me flap
That we never go out and you’re trapped.
Let’s go out somewhere classy
Where the rails are brassy
And the waitresses sit in your lap.
She:
Not a taco but super burrito
Will it take to wake up my libido.
Your chorizo is stale–
How about Chippendale’s?
We can check out some class wearing speedos.

The guys at the weather-school dorm
Surrounded her front like a storm.
Max MacHot was a tool,
And the same for Trey Cool,
So she settled instead for Luke Warm.

Why does everything need to be clean?
It’s a modern obsession obscene.

To comb when it’s greasy,
And my toe fungus helps me stay green.

The U.S. is scared of the clowns,
Since they’re creeping in each of our towns.
But they don’t put the scare in me
Like Trump or like Hillary,
The two jesters who fight for the crown.
This neighborhood’s brimming with trolls.
They burrow and creep just like voles.
They’re assured of their right
Just because they have might–
If so mighty, why hide in your holes?
Online dating’s a very broad sea,
But I’m happy that Craig’s List is free.
There is much here to choose;
There’s no way I can lose.
Let me give you some facts about me.
Anapests every line make a limerick.
As advice this may sound like a gimcrack,
But it’s nonetheless true
As the sky’s sometimes blue.
The grey area’s the beats in the front and back.
