Hi again, Sonali! Yes, I'm an unabridged formalist with a yen for the rhyming pen. Thanks for stopping by again. Nice to make your acquaintance, and feel free to issue a riposte to my alter ego here. :) I appreciate your time and review!
Comment from Gloria ....
I am a new chick on the block
Not chopping dear, but F.S. stock
I'll only take a sec or two
To make sweet minced meat out of you
You claim to be a lover, rogue
Jim Morrison? Give me a break!
You're more like Barry Manilow
And Even Now a pleather rake
What's that you say you must protest
I must have someone else in mind?
Oh please dear boy give it a rest
My words are only meant as kind.
This is great fun! So keep them coming.
Gloria

Awesome, Gloria!!! Thank you so much for riposting so excellently, as you're only instigate his pen more. Thanks also for the review, so uniquely penned.

Sorry. I didn't mean to rip, oops! Now I'm all embarrassed and stuff. Looking forward to another one because this is almost as much fun as slamming.
Comment from hobopoet
Brilliant! The idea of penicillin as a "scabbard for the sword" made me laugh out loud. Masterfully wrought, and I'm glad to see the old rogue in action again. :)
Six stars all the way. :)

Thanks so much, brother, for the sixer and for the appreciation. I probably enjoy these too much, like an actor who likes playing a villain, and I'm sure there will be more.

Good Afternoon, David
My goodness! OMG! I'm still laughing at this keen, witty and most clever of poems. You do have a knack for these. You must collect this genre and publish a book. I want a signed, first edition for my personal library.
I can't pick out any part I liked best because I liked everything so well. With that said, the following two lines reminded me of college frat days WAY back in the last century:
A true rapscallion never hears
The squalling of discarded tramps.
Your stellar use of the language and keen word choices amplifies the meanings and humor of the lines. it goes without saying, the meter is spot-on.
My only regret with this read is I've no sixes left in this week's toolbox. Please accept another set of Virtual Stars: * * * * * *

Thank you very much, my friend, and I've already marked you down for the first of the first edition. More to come, and the next humorous piece will be called Viagra Calls At Niagara Falls. Finishing it now. :) As always, I really appreciate your kindred spirit and great review.

Thanks much, David. The feeling is mutual.

Cluck clucking down your roguish path
I squawk in witness to my wrath
because a rooster such as you
could never make my dreams come true.
I know you have a evil plan
to make a cuckold of my man.
Yes, you are living on the fringe
guard with your life your trusty syringe!
Couldn't resist! Hope you get the idea.LOL Nancy

Comment from Dustybones
Very cool poem. Great subject and lines to match it. Well done!
If you believe a rogue can change,
Unlatch the gate your fear defends,
Then feel me slither into range
To sully you, and all your friends.

Comment from Kenneth Schaal
You da man! This is good and you've fairly captured the old knave in modern language and imagery. I admire the fifth stanza most. Reads good. Kenny

Thanks so much, Kenny. I think you captured the intended tone better than some of the others did, and I appreciate that...not that I'm surprised. I appreciate it.

It's an exceptional write and deserves that status. It's a read I fully enjoyed. However, you might meet with some bigotry from the nay-sayers.
-
It wouldn't be the first time, brother. :) Thank you.
Comment from Dawn of Tomorrow
That Rogue, always trying to raise the temperature in the females. Are you getting any responses back? Methinks when that rogue is 75 and lonely he's going to regret that decision!! Nice works, great rhymes and as always a perfect meter.

Really? I don't think he will. He'll have tons of memories to keep him company. ;) Thanks, my dear. No responses on this one so far, but I have a feeling he'll keep pushing until he gets in...their heads. ;)
Comment from Julia.
Well thank goodness I've learned not to be drinking my morning coffee while reading your poem, although the "From the Rogue" note was indeed an an ample warning as well. Sorry, I don't have the mental acuity at the moment--it's way too early here--to formulate a response in poesy. Maybe later today... Fine job as always. :)

Thank you, Julia. I'm glad you knew it wasn't to be taken seriously before you got to the text. Feel free to answer anytime, as the Rogue is sure to reappear again soon. :)
Comment from RGstar
I am not female, never the less, at first glance I thought this swamped with over zealous adjectives in order to compliment ambitious nouns.
On further inspection I was marvelled by the piece. For what it is, it is a masterpiece of conjugated words and meanings.
A brilliant write.
You have a way with expletive definitions and words. One or two adjectives possibly chosen for the complexity rather than performance, but on the whole, a formidable write.
We'll done,
