if you used the back door
now she doesn't mind who, where or what.

when he got a long-distant call
which flipped off the bumpers
got snagged in his jumper

A wizard was playing pinball
when he got a long-distant call
which flipped off the bumpers
got snagged in his jumper
and caused the old codger to fall


I tried to think of something less boring but my muse has headed off to the wild, blue yonder.

Yeah, but the metre is perfect and there's lovely consonance too.  :)

You can't go to all that trouble without starting a line! What's wrong with you? Wait. Don't answer that, You are just fine, :D Should there be a vodka ban?
