It sets no rules and obeys no laws
and by specific definition there is no clause.
Ideals are negotiable and often subject to change
as the epitome of beauty covers a wide range!

--

As elephants, ferrets and Welsh ponies do
they explore themselves like me and you.
Even camels and frisky parrots are apt to perform
in this ingenuous expression of the solo form!

--

From the moment she walked in I was floored
no longer disinterested or completely bored
thinking it was a good day to be a man
unaware he also answered to the name of Dan!

--

Her vivid imagination would tend to stray
from the Victorian mores of the day
and by challenging taboos she was considered mad.
Shocking to think that her pale legs were unclad!

--

The hedonist seeks the here and now!
The heretic raises his anarchic brow
and the heathen is always on the prowl
by tempting the humanist to break his vow!
