 Example poem

Tramp Stamp 777LLY     (Salamander's Fireburst)

I don't know why my daddy named his car.

He named it Lilly, and my mom don't care.

He says she's has a soft top that he fancies

and that she's got a tramp-stamp right back there,

and she's his ride and carries his guitar.

To name her after mom would be too chancy;

she's square,  demure and won't attract a copper

and her tramp-stamp just doesn't go with Nancy.

"She let's the dog ride with us to the bar,

she'll haul things when your mommy plays the shopper

but she dissuades my mom-in-law with charm."

Of all the things she does, well that's the topper.

She's sassy, gutsy, willing to go far,

his Lilly's cute yet causes no alarm.
