Bobby, Billy, Belinda, Baby and Me

Bobby Brown threatened to knock me down but Billy Blues took off his shoes and with a barefoot blocked his fist just as it brandished my wrist, and even though they fought desperately in the rain, neither bothered to complain. They boxed and kicked and blew smoke but neither even spoke. Finally I cried, "Stop!" "Belinda is calling a cop!" So bloody and bruised, Billy put on his shoes. Bobby was so muddy he looked really cruddy. And though I felt bad because Billy was bloody, I was bound to boast to my friends how Billy had come to my defense. And now Billy and me and baby makes three and Bobby is history! By: Carole O'Terry Duet Copyright: Oct., 2016 "All Rights Reserved"

You sure did, Andrea. This one's almost two years old now but does our work really age...like we do? I'm hoping they live forever. Thanks for reading and for your nice comment. Carole

Ooo, I missed this one. Sounds like a normal night in the south to me. Lol Bobby Brown became a rap singer and married Whitney Houston. Just pickin' at you. A fun poem to read, Carole, kinda gets my juices flowing.
