Charles Henderson Poet Light Verse

Jelly Fish

I’ve seen jelly roll
and jelly bean.
Bumped jelly belly
and jelly fiend.

I’ve eaten PBJ
and jelly Gems, 
such as pepper jelly
on a jelly whim.

Jelly filled cable
if you please
Royal jelly 
from honey bees

There’s k-y jelly
easy on the nose
There’s smelly jelly
between some toes

Jelly jar dolls
Jelly wax, jelly gum 
Jelly candy
All this in jelly fun

But jelly fish
give me a break !
That’s just about more
jelly than I can take.
