Shades of doggerel.

Is it wrong to wear shades in the shade
Is it wrong to wear shades in a glade
when the sunlights leaf dappling
interferes with ones grappling
with a buxom toothed rustical maid.

Is it wrong to wear shades in the boozer
is it wrong to wear shades as a schmoozer
when your mates are all grapnelling
through their pockets for shrapnel in
the hope that you'll be the loser.

Wives wear shades to hide bruising
Cruisers wear shades when they are cruising
dashing stylists wear shades
because they are blunt eyed dull blades
and not remotely amusing.

Rock stars can wear shades in the dark
as can poets when ascending a lark
for the blind it's de riguer
and the louche nightclub ligger
and paedophiles cruising the park.

Otherwise take them off.
