Poets and Capitalism

An interesting article in “The American Spectator” entitled “Poets and Capitalism”.

A young woman of 20

Who buy.

Spend my
Valuable time

When a young lady whose name is White
Developed a ladder in her tight,
A window cleaner called Ken
Swapped her a pen,
In exchange for that ladder in her tight.

Rose

When a young lady whose name is Rose
Said, “your views I shall oppose!”,
And I replied, “but you don’t know my view!”,
She said, “that’s perfectly true,

When a young lady whose name is Rose
Jumped up and down on my toes,
And I said, “that really does hurt!”,
She tore off my shirt.
As to why? only Rose knows.

Who composed a poem all about toes.
When they said, “its incomplete
As there aren’t any feet”,

On Going To Bed Last Night

On going to bed last night
I met a young lady named White.
I admired her see through nightdress,
But she asked me to stress
That nothing happened last night . . .
