Bill the Guy
& Al the Spry–
met Vera and Jasmine…
*On the fly*
when very high
as high as high has been…
Al was quick
as Jack the Thick
who once was known as Nimble,
till rusted box top
failed to pop
and head-crack made Jack simple…
–Even so–
that hefty blow
served them in good stead…
since Jasmine needed
nimble feet
and both liked active men…
Bill could play
the hoops all day
no Bill was never Bored…
he moved his bike
& grooved his hike
Bill brought a bong to shore…
Al could pack’a
mean backpack
and climb an Alp like bear—
with Lederhose
and iPod Bose
Al bypassed steppes for stairs!
Vera, too,
had much to do
with everything extreme…
she dove from planes
and surfed on trains
no terra firma mien…
Jasmine knit
* a little bit *
but Jasmine was a dancer…
in dress of red
to Grateful Dead
she was a necromancer…
With wicked moves
each time she grooved,
her fingers just like fans…
dancing jig
with Vera chick
and Vera-table Jazz hands
so when police
enforcing peace
shut them down for noise
Bill the Guy
and Al the spry
had Al-ibi of choice…

Cops… ruin all the fun. I enjoyed your poem.
to protect & serve? or: detain & harass–you decide! Thank you, Lew…I like your name and its spelling, I must say…:)
That was bloody funny 😀 I love it.
There’s a nice fellow. I am sorry to use your moniker as a punning target, so often, but it does lend itself. 🙂
You are an “Al-pun” climber…
A fun little exercise in punning–my whole goal when I started: jazz hands…
Use me any time you wish, you know I’m good for it 😀
