Lonông Moan-Groanahs Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You had requested,
Something short and sweet.
I am told I can leave a bitter aftertaste!
Thick and long on sweat.
And I do regret,
I am not a teamplayer...yet!
However,
I know I can deliver...
With a prolonged gratification.
May I still have an application?
Just in case the others disappoint.
And my 'joint' you wish to inspect,
For on location activities.
As a prospective client...
Of course.
My aim is to thrill.
And I am open to a six month trial.
Just in case the others disappoint.
And you'd like to see how things with me,
Work out!

'Yes.
And I thank you for that interview,
Mister...?
Meloner. Is it? '

No!
Lonông Moan-Groanahs.

'Oh?
Is that African? '

No.
But I do enjoy mounting the Alps!
