Mitt Romney has surely refined
His rep as a horse’s behind.
He’s (among other crimes)
Changed positions more times
Than the studs in our lim’ricks combined.

“He’s intelligent, witty, refined
A good listener, loving and kind …”
“And you’re here WHY?” (the shrink).
“Um, we’re rarely in synch…
Fact, I’m ninety orgasms behind.”

A professional woman refined
Her terms for a client’s cash bind:
“It’s been such a pleasure,
You may pay at your leisure.
Better yet, I’ll take payment in kind.”

A librarian searched and refined,
Leaving no bit of data unmined.
Her quarry: not books,
But the vilest of crooks—
Every overdue patron was fined.

A pharmacist thought she’d refined
What to say when a card was declined
But when Willie’s Cialis
Bounced back, with no malice
The words “Serve ‘er down!” sprang to mind.

refined …

While their tuning is not as refined
As their manner of marching aligned,
The trombones, one forgets,
Are made deaf by cornets—
A hundred and ten right behind.

While trombones are not highly refined
In their tuning while marching aligned,
That’s as good as it gets
When beset by cornets—
A hundred and ten right behind.

A librarian tweaked and refined
The search that a patron assigned:
” ‘Celebrity nude’
Is perhaps a bit crude—
Renoir is the best I could find.”

If BP and Exxon refined
And fracked and extracted and mined
Those combustible fossils,
There’d be a colossal
Effect on the globular rind.
