Deidre and Byron

Deidre thinks Byron has a great physique

And the color of his eyes is quite unique

It’s an odd shade between true blue and emerald green

Byron is intelligent – so Deidre has seen

*

Deidre’s favorite color is pastel pink

She writes in a blue notebook with special red ink

Byron has his sights set on her

He calls her the French name for flower, Fleur

*

She wants to cook him pork chops – but Deidre can’t

Byron balks and eat them he shan’t

So she makes him her specialty – Lima bean casserole

And a delicious banana profiterole

*

Twister is Byron’s favorite vintage game

It’s a good thing Deidre doesn’t think it’s lame

Together they have some pretty fun times

They both love their tart margaritas with limes

*

Deidre’s middle aged and has a segmented neck

Byron sees it in the light of the deck

But he knows he has a double chin

And odd webbed feet but at least no fin

*

They both like to jog

But there’s so much smog

They walk instead

Around their neighborhood they long tread

*

Deidre can be lax in shaving her pits

And Byron eats lots of his beloved grits

Though that’s nothing to do with what’s inside

They love each other and together abide

*

Byron likes camping

But Deidre prefers glamping

For her it’s a cabin with a luxurious shower

But that’s not close to nature and it makes him glower

*

Byron’s balding – but Deidre doesn’t care

He also wears his bowties with flair

Deidre savors pistachio ice cream

Together they’re truly living the dream

*

Deidre’s lips send Byron reeling

Byron’s kisses send Deidre to the ceiling

They’re lovers until the end of time

I hope you’ve enjoyed this couple’s rhyme

Lovely Candytuft

Misbehaving Houseware – a Rhyme

Roses whisper in Chloe’s ears

They tell her that her rent is in arrears

She just found out her magic garden speaks

Her tomatoes are gossipy and so are her leeks

*

Her spoons add gin to Chloe’s tea

She’d rather have prosecco – can’t they see?

She’s incredulous that her silverware can plot

So what about her favorite copper pot?

*

Her copper pot can talk indeed

And on Wednesday she caught it smoking  weed

Her boyfriend understands and knows Chloe’s sane

Sometimes he hears the cussing wolf’s bane

*

Worst of all are the sneering crocus

They’re full of scheming magic and bad hocus pocus

Why does Chloe have such misbehaving plants?

They’re cattiest of all to neighbor Ida Krantz

*

And why do her pots and silverware act crazy?

She just doesn’t get it and wishes they were lazy

She wants to donate her ware to a thrift shop

But they might escape and down the street they’d hop

*

It would truly be a totally bizarre sight

And it wouldn’t happen at night but in broad daylight

And what of her ill mannered garden blooms?

They can’t merely be swept away by brooms

*

She admits she loved watching them grow

And one always reaps whatever one sows

Why did they grow up to be so bad?

She weeded and loved them – it’s so very sad

*

Today her copper pot said I’m sorry

Don’t call the cops and I won’t be their quarry

I promise I’ll never smoke again

Only if ever in me – you cook a hen

*

In the end Chloe decides she loves her home

And everything in it – she’ll never roam

Even if her flowers are bad now and then

Perhaps she’ll write a novel with her favorite quill pen

*
