Love Unfaded
When sweet Ada was pretty and slim
She arrested the eyes of young Tim
But as years have progressed
And youth been suppressed
He is drawn by her heart more than whim

Lucky Man
There once was a man from Kentucky,
Who considered himself quite lucky,
Roof with floor underneath,
A wife with twelve teeth,
And a bookie who’s ever so plucky.
Tick Tock
So precise was dear Idabelle Fox,
She had experts come check all her clocks,
“Match the rhythm!” she said,
And she wouldn’t go to bed
Until none of their ticks fell on tocks.
Fading Love
At the beach was where Rachel McFann
Let the first boy she met hold her hand
Her date slyly asked her
Which would fade faster
Her love or the lines from her tan?
The Pinafore
There was something odd about Theodore
And not something small one could just ignore
Just to hear from his brain
He seemed perfectly sane
But to look, one must notice his pinafore
For Ony
I have a dear aunt named Devona,
Who is true to her lovely persona,
It’s her birthday today,
And I feel I must say,
Years just add to her glowing corona.
Poor Eraser
Have you heard of young Lila Bea Pacer
Who strictly made art as a tracer?
To draw free handed curves
Gave her terrible nerves,
And she always chewed off her eraser
Jeremy Muggs
I once knew of Jeremy Muggs
Who slept not on beds, but on rugs
He didn’t need it firm
He just didn’t want to squirm
He was deathly afraid of bed bugs
ToWinAMan
A single lass called Lois Brenniman
Was sweeter than sugar and cinnamon
She was always so kind
For she’d come to find
It takes more than her looks for to win a man
Squabbles
The squabbles of Carla and Carrie,
Made the boys they loved cautious and wary,
But such sweet girls appeared,
And denounced all they feared,
They’ll have peace until after they marry.
