The Delinquent

A delinquent who lived on his own

Attempted to take out a loan.
When the banker said “no,”
The man asked with great woe
How his library fees had been known.

The Shrew

A woman who came from the zoo

Met for lunch with a man that she knew.
With a gripe and an ache,
She complained of her cake.
The man thought she had switched with a shrew.

The Smooth Operator

A rich man who lived in Vermont

Tried to hit on a young debutante.
He approached the sweet belle,
But he tripped and he fell.
Although flattened, he still tried to vaunt!
