Example Poem
Names at Work (Luc Bat Sonnet)
I worked with Harry Balls
and sometimes took his calls in fact,
and handled them with tact.
'Twas not always exactly fun,
but Shanda had begun
to ask to see the one so named,
innuendos untamed.
The girl was unashamed for sure.
Oh yes, I took the lure.
She broadcast such allure it seems
she'd fostered many dreams.
Her tight clothes stretched their seams I fear.
Her name was Shanda Lear
and she lit up our workplace stalls.
