She was AL FRED but he PERSISts. She went half-hearTEDly JUST IN time To see him NEIL there in the grime, "WILLIE MARY me, Jane?" he asked her, even as the loud CAROLINE got BETTY. She couldn't even MARSHALL her thoughts, But simply NODDY 'yes' through the tears she fought, "Oh! KENN ETH be?" Taylor said in a whispered hush, Then cried out to the ESTHERs, "SHANN ON and IGNATI US". His wish was GRANTed that memorABEL night, Jane was ulTIMOTHY his after his long 'single' plight. All his friends were FELICITY Taylor and Jane, This memory would throughout their OLIVEs remain. -------------25.11.16------------- ALL NAMES ARE IN CAPITAL LETTERS; The meanings of names used with POETIC LICENSE are given below: Wenda - when the; Oliver - all who were; unoahn- unknown; Stephan' - stiff and; Freddyn' - fretting; Wilma' - will my; Darlene- darling; Alfred - all afraid; Neil- kneel; Willie- will you; Mary- marry; Caroline- carolling; Betty- better; Marshall- used as verb; Noddy- nodded; Kenneth- can it; Esther- stars; Shannon- shine on; Ignatius- ignite us; ulTimothy- ultimately; Felicity- felicitating; Olive- lives.

wow, Jo. you really used your poetic license and I wish I had seen your poem before I did mine. Mine uses straight on names and is not this imaginative. You really did a GREAT job here (mine is still to be typed up and posted). I think you gave us all a run for our money.
