[ CC ] Keeping The Peeping To A Minimum
Peeping Tom
I know him well
He can usually be seen
peering out from a gable green
where his brothers dwell
perched at the window sill
dizzilly having his fill;
young man certainly in Heaven
Busily at stable scene across the way
anywhere from scrawny to brawny---
beautiful, brainy ladies numbering
seven
dutiful in going about their chores
butt-naked and breasted-bare
as the very day they were born
opting for no frocks
not knickers nor any socks
but choosing only to wear
what the Creator did adorn them with
and did so with great care---
luscious, lengthy locks of hair
Yet his manly man pride
often hard with inside swell
was subject to swiftly soften
for one could also say
Tom likewise lived in Hell
or to be more precise, Limbo
---going nowhere was his life
So ... let me explain in detail
without further delay
about his future wife
Teenie, beloved bride to be
was one of those lovely maidens fair
Tom diligently dated
determined to take her hand
For his Love, he waited
and waited
and ...
But in sadness the womenfolk dwell;
for their fallen father they do morn
Lord Godiva died right where he fell
not very far from the main gate
Why, he never even left the estate!
All because of a horse!
Such dangerous creatures!!
This one in particular
having too much giddy-up in its gait!!!
And our brooding, nuding gals
the seven Lady Godivas wait
prolonging their pledge to marry
Peeping Tom
Peeping Dick
Let's not forget
Peeping Harry
Peeping Sylvester
Peeping Drexel
and of course,
Peeping Jack
O! And last but not least on the list
Peeping Frelinghuysen!
The gist of this tale I tell
is of men feeling lovesick
desperately wanting their fiancees back
Though the ladies no longer pay
heed to anyone named Peeping
because of the solemn oath sworn
a promise they would be keeping
without regret or remorse:
to make the world's stables
into much safer places
from that unpredictably
mad beast when it races
known as the Horse!
