Letter From Aunt Mabel

A letter arrived from Aunt Mabel, always a keeper
She was delighted I bought myself a Bissell sweeper
Said they are best, but I could have gotten it cheaper,
Seems her nephew is in more trouble, getting deeper
I suspect he was caught smoking or selling a reefer,
Auntie says her bloat is causing her to have a fever
She needs a full physical before prices get steeper!
Big news! Auntie said she was dating a Bob Kneiper
At her age, I was shocked, but won’t ask the “bleeper”
He’s older, she said, expecting soon the grim reaper!
I chuckled when she said she had a window peeper
I’ll tell her she needs to report this ornery creeper.

I’ll answer her when I have some news to report
I think I’ll suggest coming over to serve as her escort
Maybe keep an eye out for that Peeping Tom cohort
I do not consider window peeping a spectator sport!
Aunt Mable will probably laugh out loud and snort
I’m sure her nephew will be asking her for support
She’ll remember what I told her last time to retort,
He’s got to stop the doping and with no dopers consort!

Ann Foster June 10, 2022 at 11:01 AM LOL... this was crazy fun. Loved it. Ann L Milton Hankins June 10, 2022 at 11:11 AM Thanks, Ann. I have several letters from Aunt Mabel I have shared over the past. She is a faithful correspondent from across the pond.

Caren Krutsinger June 9, 2022 at 9:06 PM I have to give you a giant award for writing possibly the longest lined monorhyme in the history of the world. I liked this in particular "I do not consider window peeping a spectator sport! Aunt Mable will probably laugh out loud and snort" L Milton Hankins June 9, 2022 at 9:19 PM (chuckling) No, I think I've read longer ones from you!!!

Tom Cunningham June 9, 2022 at 11:26 AM Lol, she sounds quite a character. Tom Tom Cunningham June 9, 2022 at 12:12 PM I'll check her out, she might be a neighbour lol L Milton Hankins June 9, 2022 at 11:38 AM Totally fictional, Tom. You know, of course, she lives in a remote part of England. If you are not familiar with her letters, you should go back and read all of them. I try to make them as funny as possible.
