I awoke,
but didn’t feel woke
Was that a bitter stroke?
Attaining love is not as easy as Rum and Coke!
I might as well choke!
An apple broke
my teeth as if it were toughened pork!
So, I don’t dream
of peaches and cream
because the bloke
of daggers and cloak
wants my old oak!
So the yellow ribbon
is monkey and gibbon!
No, I still won’t be bookish
about being wokeish
Let love’s labour be lost
No, I’m not going to count the cost!
