Moose Loose Noose Goose Juice Truce


by Angus Grieve-Smith

Do I act or do I wait?
Do I ask her on a date?

Should I meet her in the mall?
Should I meet her in the hall?

Would you, could you, in a bar?
Would you, could you, in my car?

Would you, could you, touch my lip?
Would you, could you, with a whip?

I do not like to body-slam.
I do not like it, Sam I am.

I do not want to kiss your nose.
I do not like this ugly rose.

Is there anything but "noose,"
That really rhymes with "Doctor Seuss?"
