Lovely Psyche awakes from a dream / to the sound of a musical “scream.” / The quartet is to blame. / They’ve mistaken her name, / playing Herrmann’s intense “Psycho” theme.
“Wake up, LittleSuzie !”, sang they/ and she did – to her utter dismay../ and each singing lad/ was ever so glad/ that they’d hidden her clothing away.
When the band got the gig, well, surprise! / T’was required of them that their eyes / Should be raised to her hair / And damn well be kept there! / T’was a burden to them, I surmise.
" Come on, guys! Knock off the noise! I’ve got a headache that’d kill ten Trojans, a mouth like the Athenian sewers, my stomach’s burning like Santorini, and I can’t remember who, in the name of Dionysus I was with last night! For Hade’s sake, gimme a break! SHUT UP!! "
It’s a tiny abdominal bulge/ which will probably shortly divulge/ the death of a rabbit/ and the unpleasant habit/ in which Psyche is prone to indulge.
Psyche roused and sat upright to see / a quartet “club” that woke her with glee. / Though their music was mellow, / Psyche stopped them to bellow: / “Quick, get outta my way! Gotta pee!!”

Ionia, naked and peeved,
was told what she scarcely believed.

“and from the looks of things, dear,
“you retain all the water we need!”

This Athens teen garage band
will come to your house and demand
a standard remittance,
really, a pittance,
then play all the tunes you can stand.

I ordered a Super Slam with black coffee. Am I supposed to capitalize “Black” on a restaurant order?

Herr Weber never did say what the point of his painting was, but he had a heck of a good time while painting it.

By today’s standards, if this were a photograph, and you were caught with it, you’d be imprisoned, and branded for life as a sex predator.

all of the four boys had never seen a naked breast before, so virginia was happy to let them see hers, of course for a price.
