Calypso 4

The unsung hero saunters down the street
His snooker cue and case, a "Sneaky Pete."
Unsheathed, its action brings uncommon delight.
A dream come true, best hid, kept out of sight.
Improbable? But true! He is discrete.

_____________________________________

It is no weapon of mass destruction
Just an instrument for love in action.
Lovely seaside girls call him from the beach
Teach us some jazz, they giggle each to each.
And so to him they while, love's distraction.

______________________________________

The hero goes on his solitary quest
To those gals on the beach, he sings his best.
They listen; their cotton flowing dresses--
Tempting him with their mouths, legs, tresses.
His hope, his life a gape, at all their rest.

____________________________________

His song from Brazil, a bossa nova
Astrud Gilberto's air "Ipanema."
Seductive Getz on the high saxaphone
The girls draw in tight to that sweet fine tone
Calling, "Hey, handsome, you're hot! Come over!"

Hey, I haven't had time to read your entire blog, but suffice to say that this is slightly insane. I'm also obsessed with Limericks and James Joyce, and I'm working on an epic in Limerick form, AND I'm a writing a series of Limericks based on Ulysses.
Check out my blog, and my Joyce Limericks are running at http://groups.google.com/group/UlyssesPoets.
Drop me a line, and keep up the good work!
