My example poem.

Stamp Collecting Hazards     (Vers Beaucoup)

It's wrong that all along she showed her thong,

so wrong- and it was camp for that young vamp

with stamp upon her back to show such lack

of tact when it is said that she is wed.

She's not a gal I'd caught, or even thought

a lot about but yet I'd like to sweat

and pet without concern that I discern

I'd earn when mister stamp collects his tramp.
