Nothing Smooth About Me

At least, though, I can write, rap and rhyme!

Nothing Smooth About Me

The way I move is anything but

The jiggling of my butt and gut

My patter, banter, lines are naff

At least I can generate a laugh

*

Nothing smooth about me at all

As smooth as a red brick wall

At least I can rap, rhyme and write

I'm as smooth as the driven at all that...

*

Thanks for reading!

Author's Notes: I am sure I will come up with something else for this challenge, but this silly little ditty came to me. This is for the Smooth Challenge which you can find out more about here:

    smooth as not being smooth, very smooth! hahaha

  • Red brick wall was like honey to my ears. Imagine throwing those bricks at people I don't like. So smooth, right! Lol. Loved your Paulitical poem! 🍩🥐

    Haha I keep thinking about “smooth criminal” in this challenge which I don’t think is exactly what they want. Isn’t your title from a song too? But I cannot think which. 👍

  • I can relate to this in all but the rap. No one wants to hear me attempting that.
