Mange's Poetry Corner:

Honor's Shower

There was a bright treecated lass from Sphinx

At the academy with a loathsome Noble who stinks

Who found in the shower the lass had the power kicks

To rearrange his anatomical links to make him sick

in the time it took his eyes to blink.

Chief, "Toni gives us another mini snippet;"

"You know," Michelle Henke said thoughtfully, tipped back in her chair with her feet propped somewhat inelegantly on the coffee table, "these Sollies are beginning to severely piss me off."


Mange, <I liked RFC's comment that the Sollies are tempting him to an Erandi violation better.> :p

Be assured, I have thanked Toni properly for it,
in the thread in Toni's Table where she posted it.
