[ 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!
