It was quite the extravagant fuss
In fact, it was superfluous
To invite all the neighbors
To witness the labor
Then stand around and discuss

But Gina wanted it this way
All the ladies, at once, had their say
Name her Lucy, Meg or Tilly
But, oh no, never Willy
We just can’t wait for this day!

The men couldn’t stand anymore
Led their ladies right out the front door
Making one big to-do
Leaving Gina so blue
And angry at Jim, to the core

Poor Jim, he could feel the doom
As the due date did solemnly loom
Can you imagine the noise?
When they found out it was boys!
Not one, but two, baby boom!

Two friends went out for a ride
Always hanging, by each other’s side
It was the righteous thing to do
Besides, it was nothing new
Both of them took it in stride

Narf finally met his bride to be
Sitting under a magnolia tree
Let’s go out on a date
Won’t get you home late
I promise, he said, wait and see

“Cowabunga!” Narf cried, with joy
A slap on the back, “Atta boy!”
Came from his dear friend Snarf
Who really wanted to barf
This friendship, a girl did destroy

Seems Snarf was just being screwed
By a so called pal, who was rude
Cared not for his friend
And, so this was the end
Of the adventures of two gnarly dudes

Eyes wide, she’s fascinated
By everything she sees

Butterflies and ladybugs
Fly about, so free

Her imagination soars
In this little patch of land

Her chair is just a big old snail
She thinks he’s rather grand

Flowers and mushrooms sprout
Decorating the grass around her

As she takes in all the wonder
Of the beauty that surrounds her

The Tavern ~ #poetry

There’s a scent in the air

The smell of old smoke

An old man in the corner

Laughs aloud, at his jokes

Another scream in the night

Someone else has been scorned

Now tattered and wasted

Her face is forlorn

Stilettos stagger against pavement

Cobbled streets make no noise

She hears sounds, from the bar

Just the usual ole boys

They’ll playfully tug at her

Sinister, perverse, as they flirt

Taunting and teasing

And grabbing her skirt

But she knows in her heart

She will never surrender

She leans over, whispers to me

“Make it a double, bartender …”
