Poem
Mark was a slo poke but a jolly rancher indeed his wife Mary and baby Ruth his only family life was sweet on the ranch called the M&Ms along with his three musketeers, his hired help he called friends His baby Ruth would give him hershey kisses every day while his hired help couldn't wait for their payday his loyal dog Skittles would go with him most everywhere even as far as the Milky Way if his master so dared Oh' Henry! Oh Mike and Ike! Mark called one day his hired help came running without delay take 5 Mark said, I have good news for all of you how'd you all like a trip to NYC and the Bronx Zoo Seems old Mr. Goodbar left mounds of money to me I used to be his hired hand many years ago you see 100 grand is my very thoughtful inheritance from him he was always such a very kind rancher that slim jim So they all took a trip and even walked down 5th Avenue getting to see Zero the new baby elephant at the Bronx Zoo you could see the joy in his baby Ruth's almond eyes as he handed her a tiger she named Kit Kat he won as a prize Overweight and chunky Mark was by the time they got back Mark hearing snickers from his wife as well as hired help seeing his doctor he prescribed whatchamacallit pills for him taking them daily he finally began to look himself like a slim jim Several years passed and he was still fit as a fiddle so he took off into the sunset with his sweet tart as she giggled him on his horse Tootsie Roll and her on Butterfinger stopping by for a bit o honey as by the lake they did linger. 2-18-18
