Issac Bartholomue Riley
Isaac Bartholomue Riley,
His friends just call him " Ike",
Jane, his wife, they call "Smiley",
He got five other writes on this site.
October 12th I met this fellow,
A pleasant find in two thousand nine,
in a hospital in Monticello,
on the mend and trying to unwind.
He called himself "stalker with a walker",
That's how he met "wheel chair Jane"
She thought he was off his rocker,
But he chased her just the same.
So Ike's retired romance,
Ended in a beautiful marriage rite,
And used that affair as a chance,
To be the first write on this site.
Now if you're truly interested,
In Isaac Bartholomue Riley,
His character is not contested,
And I recommend him highly.
That man is surely alive,
As surely as I read and write,
in sequence one through five,
" IKE and Jane", nIte nite !
Ike and Jane
