Jetta Vendetta

There once was a girl named Louetta
Whose neighbors declared a vendetta
She parked on the grass
Where their Pickup couldn’t pass
So they drove over top of her Jetta.

Bitter Critter

July 1, 2011May 10, 2020Mary JoLeave a Comment on Bitter Critter

Herald Bean was a crass little critter
His vile talk made the tongues twitter
Yet his stay had no “brief”
And his good was all “grief”
E’en his mother said his sweet was all bitter

Twiddle Tempo

June 24, 2011May 10, 2020Mary Jo2 Comments on Twiddle Tempo

Oh the voice of young Cynthia Twiddle
It was sweet and as clear as her fiddle
But folks turned up their nose
And refused to tap toes
‘Cause her tempo was off just a little.

Unfinished

When the oak tree fell hard on our dear Bart,
He was carving the name of his sweetheart.
But she’ll never know,
His heart loved her so.
When they found him he’d just done the first part.

Rita and Melbourne

June 3, 2011May 10, 2020Mary Jo1 Comment on Rita and Melbourne

But all would be lost should their folks learn.
They met once at the shore,
And then nevermore,
Their embraces were told in their sunburn.

Not Without My Cheesecake

May 19, 2011July 6, 2020Mary JoLeave a Comment on Not Without My Cheesecake

There once was a plump girl named Mindy,
Who loved weather hot, dry and windy.
She thought Delhi the place,
But left in disgrace,
For she couldn’t order cheesecake in Hindi.

No Concern

May 13, 2011May 10, 2020Mary JoLeave a Comment on No Concern

There once was a young man named Verne,
Who had so many things yet to learn.
He was tangled in debt,
Like a fish in a net,
But none of it caused him concern.

Tiny Frieda

May 6, 2011May 10, 2020Mary JoLeave a Comment on Tiny Frieda

Tiny Frieda was quiet and meek.
She heard some say, “She’s pallid and weak.”
She was pressed but not crushed,
When a “friend” offered blush,
And she turned, so to offer her cheek.

Overslept

April 29, 2011July 6, 2020Mary Jo1 Comment on Overslept

Oh the wishes of, Emma Rose Tate,
She hoped fairies and wands were her fate.
But the dreams that she kept,
Failed her so, as she slept…
Through the nuptials of William and Kate.

Why is it Called Good?

April 22, 2011May 10, 2020Mary Jo5 Comments on Why is it Called Good?

As He hung there so misunderstood,
He did something that only He could.
He took me there too,
And gave His life in lieu,
And that’s what makes this Friday good.
