Snaggletoothed Sal sang sordid songs,
Best believe they were basically bad,
When wanders up Willy wagglin and warblin
Licentious limericks learned while a lad.

When met, mute miasmic emotions mingled
Chemistry cooking cathartic cajoling.
Torrid tales told they together
Despite people's ponderous pleading.

Together they tormented taverns and theaters
Traipsing through thespians too traumatized
To utter umbrage at unwelcome upsetting,
So Sal and soulmate elsewhere satorized.

They found a field of fragrant flowers;
Sordid songs serenaded the sky.
A moose mistook mangled musings
And that's how the duo surprised did die.

Alicat,
Trepidatiously traipsing taut tales that were told
mnemonically mimicing more memories gone cold,
dredged with a sledge of improper parfume
dang it all man, you can stink up a room!

Just having a little fun, hope no offence taken.
Doc

Absolutely none taken, Dr.Moose1, as this persnikitty soul is too laid back to take umbrage at most things. Fact is, your reply created a belly laugh which I haven't had in a while, so's I thank you for that.
