Lenny Kravitz had trousers (way) too tight,
That gave the white women more than a fright.

Lenny Kravitz had trousers (way) too tight,

I didn’t propose the first line written with ‘way’.
There have been plenty of occasions when I would’ve liked to have corrected a previous error, but have refrained. Unless something is wildly amiss, I think any modification sets a bad precedent.
I wrote the line quite deliberately as an alliterative ‘trousers too tight’.
(And with nine beats, in conventional form, I thought this could be easily followed. Omitting your ‘the’ would’ve done that, too, without any loss of meaning).

I couldn’t resist it.

Lenny Kravitz had trousers too tight,
That gave the white women more than a fright.
For there was no crotch bulge.

Everyone else here does!

Lenny Kravitz had trousers too tight,
That gave the white women more than a fright.
For there was no crotch bulge,
And no need to divulge,

It does sound better shorter so I pared my own line; don’t get too upset.

Lenny Kravitz had trousers too tight,
That gave the white women a fright.
For there was no crotch bulge,
And no need to divulge,
That the worm in his trousers won’t bite.
I drove my new car to the mall

Unfortunately, it started to stall.

I was stuck in the lane

I drove my new car to the mall
Unfortunately, it started to stall.
I was stuck in the lane
But can’t really complain,

Unfortunately, it started to stall.
I was stuck in the lane
But can’t really complain,
Auto hand jobs are really a ball!

As I said to my good friend Al Sharpton
Don’t pay with that bill, it’s a marked one

As I said to my good friend Al Sharpton
Don’t pay with that bill, it’s a marked one
Use your debit card,

As I said to my good friend Al Sharpton
Don’t pay with that bill, it’s a marked one
Use your debit card,
Lest it be your petard

As I said to my good friend Al Sharpton
Don’t pay with that bill, it’s a marked one
Use your debit card,
Lest it be your petard
That’s the thing that you come to be hoist on.

I speak in poetical meter,

My CV is rife

I speak in poetical meter,
but have no experience in theatre,
My CV is rife
I’ve done much in life.

I speak in poetical meter,
but have no experience in theatre,
My CV is rife
I’ve done much in life,
And I once was a British Beefeater.
I just saw a skunk on the path.

Startled, it attacked me in wrath
