Spring Rules

Written for the contest A Spring Day In English Quintain The Butterfly Mattress Co. The day, I started this job Of course you'd consider me GREEN So I had to be trained by Bob first on the Kings, then Queens Using the BUTTERFLY Mattress machine. First time I put in a SPRING Another popped out of a seam It caught on to Bobs wedding ring And boy, he let out a scream While I shut down the Butterfly Mattress machine Mr. BIRD, the Owner and Chief Immediately showed on the seen Expressed a moment of grief And after that moment ,he deemed He LOVED the Butterfly Mattress machine So Bob was made to retire And no longer a part of the team And his job is what I've acquired But I'm careful to watch all the seams While operating The Butterfly Mattress Machine

Bravo, Jerry!! How very, very cleverly you wove this tale of your experiences at the "Mattress Company" to describe a different type of spring. Truly impressive and I had some great laughs. Congratulations! Love, Carolyn

Thanks Jack, i don't do it to be a rebel, though I fancy myself that, at times, I do it to challenge myself to deliver something different an unexpected
