37. Eyes
If you can’t seek a signed affidavit
To find out how depraved and decrepit
A person may be
There’s one way to see
Just stare at them, since the eyes have it.

Comments: Hard work and not entirely worth the effort. This does, however, get “limerick” crossed off the list of “standard forms to be done”. I apologise for the “decrepit” half-rhyme, but as you may appreciate there are limited rhymes for “have it” … and, besides, at least I haven’t resorted to using one of my pet limerick hates: a repeated rhyme (often the first and last lines).
Themes to come: 38. Abandoned; 39. Dreams; 40. Rated; 41. Teamwork; 42. Standing Still

Naaahh!!! You missed the obvious rhyme.

Heh! Heh!
I’ll pay that; you can just about get away with it. I didn’t want to do any constructivating of new words just yet, however.
