The Muscadine Flu

May 8, 2009July 1, 2020Mary Jo7 Comments on The Muscadine Flu

A sad little man named McFrain
coined a riddle he couldn’t explain
It had something to do
With the Muscadine Flu
Which of course is what left him insane

Of course there is no such thing as Muscadine Flu, but doesn’t it roll off the tongue nicely?…

Tried a stunt that was unnecessary

Now her foot wants to act all contrary

Details later.

April 10, 2009July 1, 2020Mary JoLeave a Comment on She Should Travel

Pretty young Imogene Gavel
Took in her head she should travel
She was focused on speed
But her trusty old steed
Refused to set foot on the gravel

We’re on the road. Almost to Tallahassee.
The boys have done very well.

He Cried Wolf

April 3, 2009July 1, 2020Mary Jo3 Comments on He Cried Wolf

Sprightly young Timothy Rolf
Endured boredom that seemed to engulf

Holding Back

Young Ivan with strong furrowed brow,
Would laugh if he’d ever learned how.
He can chuckle and smirk,
But his giggles still lurk,
Holding back till his hurts take a bow.

The Lines that He Spun

There once was a man named Max
He was loud and unhindered by facts
The lines that he spun
were whimsy and fun
But his stories were all full of cracks

There was a man named Max Woodman that frequented my parents restaurant regularly. He was appare…

Changed her diet to fruit and granola.
With no fat on her plate,
