Johnny Pete and Jolly Pete

Johnny Pete and Jolly Pete Their marriage arranged in heaven, Come sit here on the catbird seat. Their marriage is number seven. Johnny Pete never looked so good. Jolly was a gorgeous summer bride. Ceremony was everything it could be. Witnesses all on Jolly’s side. Johnny dragged in a street guy To stand up with him that day. Jolly got a tear in her eye And he soon whisked her right away. Jolly and Johnny had six little ones. Juicy, Jimmy, Juanita, Johnny, Junior and Jay. Two girls and four boys all born in the sun. They were a handful, but fun in every way.

Caren, I like your Rhyming Jay poem. Sort of sad that only Jolly had wedding guests though. -Richard
