Example Poem
Ladies Choice (A double Analogue)
A group of girls
without their men espy
a hotel; "Women
only", sign proclaims.
"Hmm, let's
discover if it meets our
aims?".
The bouncer was a
most attractive guy.
He told them how he
hotel worked and why.
Enjoy your choice of
floors to please all dames
each floor has signs
instead of merely names.
The first floor sign
said "men are short and plain".
The gals just
laughed then went on up again.
On two the sign said
"Short and handsome here".
Not yet said one,
continue to ascend."
"Floor three
has tall and plain", one told her
friend,
"We need to go
on up, I think that's clear."
On four they saw the
perfect sign appear:
"All men are
tall and handsome without
end!"
The girls were ready
but could not pretend--
What might they
miss? So they went up to five.
"Empty! You
can't please any gal alive."
