Promotional Examination Caper Poem by John Sensele

Sylvia gyrates her assets left and right
As up in a blue sky the sun shines bright.
‘Rachel, lecturer Daniel.
This man is stalking me a like Spaniel'

‘Seems as if he's beckoning me.
Let me see
What is after this time.
To be pretty isn't a crime! '

‘Sylvia, tell me if Daniel has made a pass at you.
What does he want to chew?
Pretend to go along
Then blow open his gong.'

Sylvia gingerly knocked at the office
Where Daniel would do her an injustice.
‘Sylvia, meet me here
At 21 00 hours, do you hear? '

‘Sir, I've told you I can't give you what you want.
You know I can't trade my boy. I just can't.
Can't you understand
My principled stand? '

‘In that case, you'll fail my course
As a result of your stubborn discourse.
You know how powerful
I am. Be careful.'

‘Okay, sir. Are you prepared to pay my price?
A leakage will suffice.
I gain, you gain.
That's a fair bargain.'

‘Leakage you say.
That's nothing to me, by the way.
Give me your cake
And the promotion exam paper you'll take.'

At 2100 hours sharp, Sylvia pitched up
To give Daniel his carnal cup.
Rachel had sneaked a camera
Into Daniel's office to film the drama.

‘This paper doesn't look like the real thing.
Are you sure, sir, it contains everything? '
She felt his labored breath
And relished her sting operation stealth.

‘Rachel, see how this lecher handed me the prize.
And didn't realize
I caught the evidence
To hurt his finance and lance.'

Sylvia and Rachel visited the academic office
To seek justice.
‘Yes, sir, lecturer Daniel leaked this exam paper.
Please fix once and for all this caper.'
