I thought this thread on monorhymes was confined to bear themes. So I started another thread. But it got lonely there, so I deleted it and came here when I saw that Roger and Holly were doing well despite not bearing up. Is that OK, John?
I was thinking about my old friend (in the figurative sense of the word) Stevie.

So here is a monorhyme stab in the dark a la Stevie.
No Taint on Me
way after Stevie Smith
Perhaps you find it quaint
that I should write a ditty about my husband's liver complaint.
You might even say, from a poetic stance, that I may'nt,
but that is because you ain't
so familiar with his drinking habits and I am, hotshot, should you acquaint
yourself with the facts more closely and exercise a little judgmental restraint
you would plainly see that he is not, but I am, a saint.
