I Do Declare Gossiping In the South

Hot in the south sitting on the porch
Fanning your face with a hand fan
Dressed in a beautiful white dress 
With a cold mint julep in hand

Miss. JENNIFER, yes Miss. JAN
Do you believe what that SunShine Smile,
Said about me?
Her last poem was all about Me, Me, Me (Just kidding Sunshine)

She only thinks of herself living in luxury
Her poems seem to go Norway with a Rhyme 
Now that Bobby is a handsome man
Oh tell me Mrs. JAN

I saw him in the field with his straw hat on
Working next to Gershon W.W. was fast asleep
Without a peep, but there was one so cute
He was the Only Silent One out of the whole bunch

Here comes Richard your husband he shot old turkey Tom I guess we are having him for dinner

Shhhhhhh, No more Gossiping

Hi Bobby, going back on your poems as I have done with many of my good friends. Packing a house which has seen three generations is no joke! Thank-you - your poems are special and have flair - I so enjoyed this one. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
