Silly Billy

 

Silly Billy rode to town

on his tiny pony

for a girl whom he may crown

as his one and only.

 

Round and round and up and down,

every girl was phony.

When they saw him they would frown,

none would be his crony

 

till he met this funny clown

who was thin and bony.

She had a charm that could drown

his world that was stony.

In life we meet so many people. At first we may not find the right love for us but they are out there.

Great rhythm and flow with this one.

This is very well done. The line that made me laugh out loud was 'every girl was phony'. I think this is a good example of a poem where the self imposed restrictions (including the number of letters per word) really add to the overall effectiveness.

Thanks for your review, jacob! A clown girl does her best to melt status quo ice.
till he met this funny clown
who was thin and bony.
She had a charm that could drown
his world that was stony.

Brava … challenge met with aplomb.
