Regina

Regina

There is no poetry here
Despite all the noble and foolish history
The bleak snowdrifts of January
Or autumn's fragile bounty

There is no poetry here
For nothing rhymes with "Regina"
Save for ribald words fit only

For limericks.

  1. There once was a poet from China
    Who struggled for a rhyme for "Regina"
    Addressing a female part
    He felt a stab pain in his heart
    His doctor told him he had angina.

  2. Vagina is not a ribald word.

    Neither is China, Carolina or kinda.

  3. The entire premise of my poem - refuted! Well, I did label it "Bad poetry."
