Absolutely terrible!! 9 beats in the first line, 7 in the second. FAIL!! bibibibibi

I'm sorry George.  I am a very bad poet.   ananananan I'll try again. 

There was a Young Lady whose eyes,
Were blind to wisdom and guys;
When she opened them wide,
None could she abide,
And started away in disguise.

is that better??

Technically better, but literally, it sounds very contrived.. The last line doesn't make a lot of sense. "Started" in which sense? ...as in "startled", or as in "begin"? What couldn't she abide? Wisdom or guys??

There was a young lady whose eyes
Were shuttered to wisdom and guys
When she opened them wide
She couldn't abide
The come-ons and lies of wiseguys.

I come here each day for a drink
It gives me the time for a think
I really feel fine
When drinking white wine
It's better than paying a shrink

'started' as in 'move suddenly'.

And of course it was contrived - it was an exam, I hate exams!!

I know.  I'm now in deep depression.  But I did pass the 'B' exam - thank heavens for teh Chinese education system.  I didn't have to jump off the building.

We now know that Lotus is sad
'cause all of her poems are bad
She don't take the time
To count meter or rhyme
She's a failure, and that makes her mad!

We know that George is a lad,
not to say a bit of a cad
soul filled with rime
mouth tastes of lime
Limericks his latest fad.

Georgie is picking on Lotus
I think he's just looking for coitus
Whenever he can
He'll go to Xian
Let's make sure there's no interuptus
