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…
