TAKETH NOT OFF

Taketh Not Off Thy Cap To Show It

A Silly Sonnet

By Izzy Sommers

For November, 2005

Without a doubt the simple safety pin
Supports the human race through thick and thin.
With silvered pointy heads of steel and tin,
You are the quintessential endocrine.
A pretty lady, at a costume ball,
Knows she can always find the wherewith all
To fasten undergarments that could fall,
Allowing her to dance and stand up tall.
Of course, a man with torn suspenders needs
Your vital service to be rendered. Please,
Forget not all your super trouper deeds
For diaper, baby, mommy, dad and squeeze.
You have the sharpest brain! We know it, eh?
Perhaps you really are this poet... Hey!
