Puter

I frequently use the word 'puter as an abbreviation for computer. Tonight someone, hearing it for the first time said they thought I was saying something rude. Which prompted this.

Puter pudenda
pubicly portentous
publicly portraited,
parole violated.

There was a young man whose new 'puter
could not have been any way cuter
but lacking pudenda
or pubic addenda
he just couldn't manage to root her
