Another example of Don trying to stump me by submitting "off the wall" subjects for me to put into rhyme....so apologies to all you good readers for my "subject"ing you to Don's form of sadism...
Shirt...Blue...Silk
It seems to be Don Hunt's main missionChoosing topics to merely befuddle
They must enter his mind through attrition
As his brain seems to work in a muddle
He's come up with a topic three tiered
Each tier having little import
So for this, Don Hunt should be jeared
And be dragged into criminal court
His topic is SHIRT and BLUE and SILK
How could they have entered his mind
He's asked me to write poems of this ilk
And for that he is most unkind
To write about SHIRTS would be numbing
Be they red or white or BLUE
And I can't quite imagine succumbing
There are no rhymes of worth here to spew
The third of this group is not better
Though SILK, a fabric so pure
Is not worth my getting upsetter
By writing of subjects obscure
My friend Don, go sip some fine brandy
Who knows what might come of it
You could find it might come in real handy
Finding topics for you to submit
