Lots of nice stuff here.
But let me get some of my oldies out of the way before sitting down to think about one that would be appropriate for EvC:
Orange:
A poet who burst on our times
In a wardrobe of lemons and limes
Went looking for 4 eng-
ineers dressed in orange
To hack at the worst of his rhymes.
Silver:
When Olympians, in from the cold,
Get caught and the scandals unfold,
My question is will vir-
tue get only Silver
Or will it be given the Gold.
others...
Now Cribbage can take you aback
When a combinatorial lack
Of counting Fifteens
And Thirty One means
That you have to hope for the Jack
My nose, I suppose, could use style
And be civilized once in awhile.
But instead each nostril
Would rather be hostile
To everything within a mile
...now to put on my thinking cap......
