21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 86

 

There was a little Guinea pig,

Who, being little, was not big;

But from its head down to its feet

It was extremely good to eat

SAINT GEORGE

 

Though he is immortalized in the tale

Of Saint George and the Dragon

It is as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers

That his patronage is built upon

WHEN YOU SIT NEXT TO ME

 

When you sit next to me

The skies seem to brighten

I feel sunlight on my skin

And all my senses heighten

Just being in such close proximity

Makes my old heart lighten

Just imagine if you only knew me

Then I’d be as invincible as a titan

 

POLYHYMNIA

 

Versatile Polyhymnia

Muse of singing

Muse of mime

And of sacred dancing

SUCCUMBING

 

Though a cool day

The spring sunshine,

Was hot through the glass

And combined with the wine

And an excellent lunch

It wouldn’t be long methinks

Before I slowly succumbed

To the long blinks

RAMBUNCTIOUS

It was noisy and unrestrained

Ill-disciplined and bestial

A rambunctious coupling

That was making her squeal 

SMOULDERING

 

Smoldering looks

Flaming desire,

Lustful tingling’s

And passionate fire

Eager anticipation

Tantalizingly relishing

Adds to the fantasy

For later embellishing
