Batteries not included

 Last night I heard a noise
it came from down the stairs
I was ready armed and poised
in my long underwears.

 

I could not see what I had grabbed ,
but with it… I must defend.
It was quite long with a plastic feel, 
and heavy on one end,

 

I could sense the danger, 
as I listened more intent. 
Getting a better grip on it
I noticed it was slightly bent.

 

The noise kept growing louder ,
started coming up the stairs.
I was a trembling mass of skin and bones,
yanking on my hair .

 

But I won’t run, no I wont hide,
I gotta stand and fight !
Her folks sure got a fine howjado,
when my wife turned on the light .

 

There I was dressed to kill 
praying to my creator, 
with my weapon poised to strike, 
her trusty pink vibrator .

 

Seems I had forgotten,
It just slipped my mind,
when I turned around to tell my wife, 
a gasp came from behind ! 

 

Turning on a dime I cried 
now what’s this all about?
it seems my trap door had fallen 
and my butt was hanging out .

 

Well my mother-inlaw had seen enough,
she went screaming down the stairs .
The old man thought I just mooned his wife 
So he kicked me I think you know where.

 

He goes down to calm her mom 
as I’m rolling on the floor
my wife she thinks it’s kinda cute 
but me , I’m kinda sore .

 

Next time I won’t be so brave 
on this I take an oath
I’ll stay in bed cover up my head
and let them kill us both
 
By Jove !

Superb, I like to laugh, and with this poem I did just that. I'd give it eleven out of ten if I could. More power to your writing / typing. P.S. I like to put some humour into some of my poems, like Casanova, for instance. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Kob.

Five star, no problem, but forgot, now done

Five stars, no problem, but forgot to add it the first time, now done. Superb again...uum, not as good as yours by a long chalk...but I thought I'd add Casanove here so you can have a look see and smile. Kob. Casanova. With many passing years, Casanova, hit a snag Though he’d a velvet tongue His body began to sag He could still go to bed With the prettiest girl But could no longer promise To give her a thrill She would be surprised His joints would creak A stranger to exercise His muscles were weak But he’d get to work Slowly, at his leisure And would do his best To give the girl pleasure He’d press the buttons And pull the correct nob But it wouldn’t stand up And get on with the job Both he and his partner Would give it there best They’d tug it, tweak it Or give it a wee rest His waterworks leaked Just like Niagara And as for the other It needed Viagara He developed a habit When he went to bed Saying,” Not tonight dear, I’ve got a sore head!“
