Rhymes With Ass

CLICK HERE TO HEAR AUTHOR READ 


A poem for special folks like a VIP pass

Reserved for people of a certain class

Describing the fortunes that they amass

A poem like a mansion with walls of glass

And polished door handles made of brass.


A poem for others who are vulgar and crass

Written for a loser, a wiseacre jackass

Who leers at every girl with a shapely ass

And enumerates the sins he'd like to trespass

If she'd ever lose her moral compass.


A poem for a young idealistic lass

Who reads poetry while lying on grass

About the climate perils of greenhouse gas

And ponders how humanity created this morass

As she listens to tunes sung by Mama Cass.


A poem that's dark and sweet as molasses

And one that's cold and deep as a glacier crevasse

Difficult to traverse as a mountain pass

Or winds like a road blocked by an impasse

Without obvious strategies to bypass.


There's a poem for labourers to chant en masse

Another like news from the Russian Tass

A protest poem to enrage and harass

A poem with attitude, back-talk and sass

There's a poem for everyone, I'm glad you ask,


But this is not one, said, alas.

Looks like you're having fun, you rascal!
Sharing your pensees, like Blaise Pascal!
Looks to me like your having a blast,
(And that's a near-rhyme with -- ahem)!
