Black Book
BLACK BOOK :
I have a little black book
And in this book I keep
Names of all beautiful women
With whom I'd like to sleep
This poem's very naughty
it's not the sort I'd write
It's not something
that I've done before but
You never know I might
This crazy talk and absurd rhyme
I've written this, in jest
Just enjoy the verse
Don't be averse
It's just my creativity
I'm trying to test
For I am smart, no book I keep
Just images in my head
In dreams theses women
A book they keep
with my name written instead.
