  1. I make no pretense of being a poet, but even so, I was inspired by your assignment.

    His taste in women was fickle
    Akin to his taste in food
    Some days he’d want just a pickle
    Some, he’d just change his mood.

    He courted the ladies with relish
    Which he thought would made him quite hot
    But like his strange taste in hamburgers
    His fickleness made him quite not

    When he went out to dine, he took too much time
    Choosing the spread for his plate
    Ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise
    Made eating become such a grind

    To make the right choice was such a hard task
    That hot peppers or soy sauce left him aghast
    So what could he do when faced with the view
    Of a different, more beautiful face?

  4. Funny denden... But you could make it a slant rhyme and use something like "scavenge". That would be if you were serious of course, which I know you're not...
