Outrun

There are some things you can't outpace.
Try as might, but lose the race.
Like death, like tax, like light from sun--
Add to running list: my gun.

There are some things you can't outstrip.
Pump those kicks, and pray I miss.
Many tried. Succeeded: none.
Outstrip, outpace, outrun, my gun.

No Muse

The page before me blank and fair.
My inspiration is upstairs.
No muse and not inclined to write,
Why must I compose despite?

QC

Ahh, the place my youth has spurned,
To the QC I've returned.
If not to see my dear ole dad,
I doubt you'd ever see this lad.

Burkini Libre

Burkinis! Burkinis! They're free on the beach!
The freedom to thwart what the lecherous seek.
Lest the whole of the world sink in moral decay.
Burkini! Burkini! To save us today!

Burkini

Burkinis, burkinis are banned on the beach.
Such fabric does put her skin out of eyes' reach.
A woman, her body, should always be seen.
To cover is vulgar, indecent, obscene!

That Dress

The truth of my guilt, I'm compelled to confess:
I stumble my words, oh my GOD girl, that dress!
And the ample soft curves that you poured there inside.
And Vickie's got secrets a lady may hide.
