..Once a coin there was with
an old maimed tail,
Often it was pestered by a sticky
stuff.
In spending, his boss must have
been a real snail.
Even in saving he must have been
duff,
Else, why would the coin pine for
his species?
But joy came when the boss
vanquished all odds:
He dropped a coin near his smelly
panties!
Mad the old coin became, came
lover's words:
"In days of yore I went
morose and astray,
Now, against you I've hit on my
path,
And I think I have found the truly
nice tray
That will transport me a way from
that tacky bath.
In your fragrant fragrance I'll
drench myself,
In your (so chaste they seem!)
sinews we'll dwell,
In your crystal clear eyes I will
see my wife,
Only if you do not send me back to
hell."
But the buxom newcomer kept a cool
head.
Though trammelled by the gluey
handkerchief
"I'll wag my tail for you
only until I'm dead,
Because I don't want to remain in
grief."
Did come from oldie's poetic and
zestful muscles.
He added: "Saw you when
you're dropped -- cute!"
"I saw you too -- a bag of
mucus."
Then, for days the pocket remained
absolutely mute.
But glory rose: the hanky was
removed
And oldie rolled to rest in his
love's lovely arms.
Climax of one-way traffic!
Screeches followed,
Screeches of hate, screeches of
hopeless
..hopefulness.
Then the fingers re-entered the
pocket:
The coins went in opposite
directions,
One unwillingly, one like a rocket.
And, one more coin skated down the
fingers
And it stampeded towards the
female,
And she was sweet on him within
hours.
Then, the boss met his bed after
some ale,
Keeping his trousers near the
scarlet pillows.
The lovers' heads kept close to
each other.
Kicked, oldie was but a mass of
tension,
But the next rays sent him on a
tower:
Some rare stiffness hewed their
elation!
Oldie's hopes shone more when his
rival was spent,
But too ecstatic he shouldn't have
been
As his female's fast flight his
hopes did dent.
For some nine months he became
lean, lean, lean.
Then, a coin into the pocket was
shot.
Old oldie looked at her head
fixedly --
She resembled his lost love. Did
she not?
Yes, but a glance at her eyes --
so gritty! --
Sent old oldie into jelly-like mud:
They resembled his rival's pair of
eyes.
He had routed oldie without a thud!
Now oldie was like one of those
ditched guys,
But he did not give up, yes, he
did not.
"How would I've wagged my
tail when it can't move!"
He grimaced, as he promised not to
rot.
He sat, and related a tale on love
to his niece.
