Loosely rolled like La Pompadour,
Is now mostly seen
On femmes multi-teen
And often seems tinted bluer.
--- Daniel Ford
Each chevalier feels that his lure
To the female sex,
And on "hunk" index,
Requires a grand CHEVELURE.
--- Chris Papa
Found that he could make money faster,
By lighting the lasses
Prominent asses,
And forgetting to fig leaves plaster.
--- Chris Papa
Makes one thing perfectly clear:
It's usually a face
With a collar of lace,
Lit up like a chandelier.
--- Norm Brust
Does portaits of gals, CHIAROSCURO.
With shadows he quite
Turns dull into bright,
Making cleavage from busts quite obscuro.
--- Bob Dvorak
With deception, base and soft speak.
They are found world-wide
And do so with pride,
The so-called CHICANERY chic.
--- Chris Papa
Like naivete, it has a French ring.
And CHICANERY, too,
As well as billet-doux
Reveal roots from which Frenglish did spring.
--- Norm Brust
With biological fits and starts,
In Frankenstein way,
The Shelley mainstay,
Or human genes with E. Coli hearts.
--- Daniel Ford
Assortment so very rough-shod,
It joins parts quite weird,
Makes mixture that's feared,
Not likely to be act of God.
--- Chris Papa
Said the horse-buyer, "What's the price tag?"
Said the old farmer,
Himself, a charmer,
"Did you come to buy or CHIN-WAG?"
--- Observer
But with CHINA SYNDROME comes shock;
Reactor gone wild,
With deep trouble piled,
Left to Senate committee ad hoc.
--- Chris Papa
Trumps chummy, churlish "Chews the rag"
For "motor mouth" pair,
Whose gums beat the air,
With tete a tete where no tongues flag.
--- Chris Papa
And as we bend each other's ear.
There's that bed upstairs,
To shed clothes and cares,
Where intercourse is something dear."
--- Chris Papa
As crabbed CHIROGRAPHY of docs.
Poor pharmacists must
Their code glyphics bust,
Or patient might end up in a box.
--- Chris Papa
Reveals amorous topography,
Adding sincerity,
Along with clarity,
Is oft lost in simple topography.
--- Caniel ford
Eschew it when it comes to spouse,
Or without delay,
There'll be hell to pay,
With you, perhaps, out of the house!
--- Chris Papa
The behaavior of only a louse,
So please mend your ways;
That crime never pays
And pack rat may be kleptocrat mouse.
--- Daniel Ford
Read "Best of French Battles," new rage.
CHRESTOMATHY neat,
It manages feat
With volume that is single page.
--- Chris Papa
And publish my limerick pap;
'Twill be leather bound
And the title found
Under "Chris' CHRESTOMATHY of Crap."
--- Chris Papa
Uttering songs and balladies,
Not from hearts in throats
But much bran and oats:
Flatus and borborygmides.
--- Daniel Ford
Matured when he seeks wedded bliss.
But if the pair won't gel,
Cocoon looks real swell.
That's marrieage game, just hit or miss.
--- Chris Papa
Invention of dweller CHTHONIC,
Gift of old Satan,
All folks a-hatin',
Is known today as "high colonic."
--- Chris Papa
That lads so sweet and Byronic
Will bring roses of red
'Til they get you in bed,
Then crawl back to their rock most CHTHONIC.
--- Kim
Is filled with great riches sonic.
Screams of rappers noise,
Inane Backstreet Boys,
And more caca cacophonic.
--- Daniel Ford
And actions defined as demonic:
There's Monica's chthong
And Willie's dong,
And prevarication that's chronic.
--- Norm Brust
Can at times be charmingly queer.
An example of such:
The contranym chuff,
Which two ways can portray M'dear.
--- Larry McGrath
'Cause in their sex play she was cuffed.
And though, on the whole,
That as for her goal,
It was not the way to be stuffed.
--- Chris Papa
Is the man whom we love to hate;
Who bumps off his father
Then goes on to blather
For help: I'm an orphan! What a fate!
--- Esther Hecht
CHUTZPAH, in old Yiddish recalls
The trait of the few
Who win what they do
By having a big set of balls.
--- Chris Papa
To have CHUTZPAH, just take a look
At women with verve,
And much brazen nerve,
Who've got it, and whom no one can brook.
--- Esther Hecht
Who, instead of panties, wore a CILICE,
Hoping she could stay
Eager hands that stray.
But forgetting how persistent Bill is.
--- Norm Brust
The news, with great bias to bend.
Such sins I think call
For CILICES all,
Worn till each will make his amend.
--- Chris Papa
Who prefers a young, nubile cast,
Was told he was shallow
And also quite callow."
"Is that really a sin?" he then asked.
--- Sheryl A Lemma
This is file hol
Would go to dark movies for blast.
With Cable TV
We're likely to see
Couch potato, fat and silly-assed.
--- Chris Papa
They daily their derrieres park
And stare at silver screen.
Seek what films may mean,
Remaining always in the dark.
--- Chris Papa
Movie seats tend to be far too narrow.
The happiest CINEASTE
Is the one whos is skinny-assed,
And tend to eat like a sparrow.
--- Norm Brust
I could not more highly endorse it.
It pushes your fat
From where it is at,
To where is should be, when you force it.
--- Gary Hallock
That she took CIRCADIAN pill.
Ever ready for Max
And frontal attacks,
Which day and night, his role to fill.
--- Chris Papa
Who'd turn men to pigs when they'd her see.
But most women say
We're pigs anyway,
So this isn't much of a curse, see?
--- Gary Hallock
Had all the right stuff that beguiles
The lust of strong men,
And so even when
As male pigs, they sported large...smiles.
--- Chris Papa
With weird ways of wooing quite rare,
May delay the entry
Of some anxious gentry,
Who manage, in end, to get there.
--- Chris Papa
Evaded impeachment solution.
Conduct out-of-bounds,
Produced real great mounds,
Of B.S. that called elocution.
--- Chris
Who think divination their art.
Such useless CLAIRVOYANCE,
I find an annoyance,
And wish they would quickly depart.
--- Chris Papa
Filled with hot lust and great gore,
The heroes CLAMBER
Over Lady Amber
Who always was ready for more.
--- Chris Papa
They sat up high, way in the back.
They didn't get paid
Or get a seat upgrade,
And were exploited by her publicity flack.
--- Norm Brust
Even with voice out of whack.
Quite sure that she'd hear
A resounding cheer
From throats of her large, well-paid CLAQUE.
--- Chris Papa
With so little work they develop plaque
In each major vessle.
So as there they nestle,
They're clapped of in attack cardiac.
--- Daniel Ford
Cannot be construed as feedback,
Since they're very much
Arrangements or such
Attempts by an egomaniac.
--- Daniel Ford
Shriek anad whistle for any old crap.
They'll flatter and fawn
When you hold a salon,
For a quick cash incentive, old chap.
--- Eva Amata
Lost their TV show double quick.
Their ratings were bad,
Producers got mad
When their hired CLAQUE didn't click.
--- Observer
Which means that there's no time for tarryin',
Especially in culture
Of ravenous vulture,
Who smells the fine scent of carrion.
--- Daniel Ford
Would spurn every suitor or mash.
But with nothing to eat
She took to the street
For CLARION call of cold cash.
--- Chris Papa
In a dream, heard Gabriel's CLARION.
It seemed to say
It's perfectly okay
For her, with father, to carry on.
--- Norm Brust
Who tended to be rather wild,
With evil so sotted,
His kitty garrotted,
In CLEMENT a status reviled.
--- Chris Papa
I'm sure it won't serve as a guide,
But it's very short;
A rhyme of the sort
That sends a terse message that's snide.
--- Chris Papa
The lines were too short or too long.
So overwrought, he'd
Swear never to read;
Dismissed us in terms very strong.
--- Chris Papa
But today the glare of bright truth
Is on their false fiddle
Showing that they diddle
With many an innocent youth.
--- Chris Papa
Because I enjoy a beer and a shot.
The uppity CLERISY
All drink sherry, see,
For fear liquor will cause brains to rot.
--- Norm Brust
That stripper probably won't think (can't)
That the men she's teasing
Think only of squeezing
And drinkin' from glasses oft clinkin'.
--- Daniel Ford
Settling for whatever's at hand.
But when offered a toke,
Or a neat line of coke,
They'll trip to CLOUD-CUCKOO-LAND.
--- Norm Brust
Or owned a maryjane stash.
Addicted to nicotine
And also caffeine,
The hard stuff would hook me in a flash.
--- Norm Brust
Real CLOUD-CUCKOO-LAND must be
Contained in our borders,
Ever writing dumb orders;
It's Congress, found in the D.C..
--- Chris Papa
In a world where all of their schemes;
No matter how dumb,
Some will succumb
Till that world comes apart at the seams!
--- Barb
Who, off the seas, quaff brews in bars,
Where bragging invites
Some rugged fist fights
And chance for a few to "see stars."
--- Chris Papa
Was bent COCK-A-HOOP, like a crescent.
"But we fit," said his mate.
"It was karma or fate,
That saved us our antidepressant."
--- Elois
To make an erection soft bend.
From them, stay away.
Just stick to foreplay.
And all will be well in the end.
--- Chris Papa
