Alas, an ass did take his ease
To beg the question, if you please.
Despite her fears,
She was all ears.
Here ends their similarities.
He dared not look her in the eye.
Perhaps she’d pick another guy.
The scene evolved,
And he resolved:
To burrow in her heart he’d try.
He wasn’t one to drag his feet,
To bide his time or be discreet.
This stubborn hack
Did double back;
Took Jenny far from Easy Street.
Perhaps she saw right through his tricks.
But methinks she was out for kicks.

Brilliant! What a fabulous start to your A-Z! I think you'll enjoy mine, an A-Z of best children's poets, US and UK and some round the world, who have all sent a poem. Good for adults, too! Good luck! Liz http://www.poetryroundabout.com
