Herbert Nehrlich - Mutts And Butts

It's the wife who is partial to mutts,
I must say I consider it nuts
one is black aone is white
neither racially right
but they vary in size of their butts.

Thus the white one is fat 'round the belly,
reminiscent of gooseberry jelly,
but her butt is not round
and it shades not the ground,
and the black is called Machiavelli.

I prefer that the gluteals be hams,
and in toto weigh thousands of grams,
like the mammaries, soft
and perhaps Nabokoffed,
now you know why I don't fancy lambs.
