Interloper, poet joker Lover of unlucky charms He’s another Mr. Roper Void of women in his arms Interloper, chapel groper Hanky panky in the church Pastor was a microscoper Leaving Loper in the lurch Interloper, tried to rope her On a summer picnic lunch Army ants then enveloped her Had themselves a hearty brunch Interloper, sly tightroper Balancing a juggler’s act Poor Mysteria, let’s just hope her Lightening rod is still in tact Interloper, feline stroker Treated her as though a pet She had claws like red hot stoker Hasn’t gotten near her yet Interloper, playing poker Thinks his charm’s a winning ace Another ploy, another joker Slips again through his embrace He sets out with loaded deck A lucky charm around his neck But I can say in honesty He saves the real thing just for me (Just teasing, Interloper Your lady poems are lovely) Liz |

Elizabeth, sweet Elizabth I sit almost embarrassed to death. You think my deck is loaded for sure. That's what Acme said in their brochure. Methinks you had better watch your back I will sneak up on you with a sack throw you in and tie it up real tight, only to protect me against your bite. When I release you, in gratitude you will throw your arms around this dude, covering my face in wet kisses, asking me to make you my missus. Your sincerity overwhelms me then the police come and I must flee. ~*~ An aside: If you knew how hard it was for this Texas boy to use the word "dude" you would appreciate this much, MUCH more ![]() Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

OMG - How did I ever miss this - I am laughing myself silly here. Elizabeth what a sense of humor you have and you got him good! He is indeed Mr. Roper, (from Three's Company) and oh boy, you were sure clever in tagging him with this. LOL, good for you! ![]() ~*~ Carpe' Diem ~*~ |

Sunshine, I couldn't resist Startime, Glad you got a laugh Lady of Shallot, THanks, a smile a day Interloper, I am certain you are not a Mr. Roper by any means, but I was just having a little fun at your expense. Thanks for the interesting response. Watch your back, now. Another poem might bite you Martie, Smiling Nancy, Thanks, your guess is as good as mine Interloper, You should be tired after all that. Hehe Mysteria. Are you still under the willow, dear? THat's a dangerous place to be in thunder storms. Gkad you got a laugh Liz |
