Playing The Name Game In The Rain

A Flirty Poetic Fair Way

By Marc OBrienPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Shane

Had nothing to complain

Playing a game

Combatting the rain

Needing everyone to know his name

Calling it fame

Finding a rose

Purchasing husband material at Lowes

He bumped into Miss Brown

A siren wearing the seductive gown

Alarming as it sounds

He stood his ground

From the demands of Miss Brown

“I am not in your space

You can build your case

But it has no base”

Enter Henly

Driving a Bently

Picking up Miss Brown

Transporting her all over town

“Such an evil one

I am glad Miss Brown is done

Shopping around

Wearing a seductive gown”

While in her Bently

Driven by Henly

Miss Brown wanted to know

“Where did Mr. Cantlay go?”

Hanley replied

While giving a ride

“He is with Shane

Combatting the rain

Playing a game

Needing fortune, fame

And everyone knowing his name”

Miss Brown did declare

Wanting an evening affair

Filled with tease full sin

Lets pick up some rum and gin

Then see who did win

In the game

Played in the rain

For fortune and fame

Later a rainbow did appear

Bringing the scene much cheer

Without any fear

Approaching the two, using the term ‘sweet dear’

“What can we do for you?’

They asked when competing was through

“Join me for a drink

I have nice booze; it will help us think”

She said with a luring wink

With the stars bright

All three had a nice night

Until the morning

Without warning

They had to play a game

Combatting rain

Needing fortune, fame

And everyone knowing their name
