*A very loose form of Limerick, but Mabel deserves lots of syllables. There once was a waitress with the name of Mabel Who used her bosom as a restaurant table Beneath her double chins Mabel flaunted her twins The one on the right, Cain and the left one, Abel The locals knew not to make fun of the lady Ol' Teddy swaggered in, looking kinda shady He taunted her with smut She punched him in the gut That's the last we all saw of Teddy O'Grady Mabel looked real nice in her crimson ruffled gown Two cups of coffee; 'pon her boobs she set 'em down And when I smiled at her She said, "Thank you, sir" I left her a satisfied tip of a half-crown When eating lunch, Mabel never uses a plate Don't insult her by declaring she's overweight Cause she'll call you a lout Chew you up, spit you out If you tell her she needs a train to move her freight Mabel's knockers would put the Grand Tetons to shame But they're the reason she's in the town's Hall of Fame She wins beauty contests With her grandiose breasts I think 'Melons Mabel' is a comely nickname

Thanks a lot, Deb. I don't think she'll be working at Jan's saloon any time soon, but there may be someone who'll join you.

She can hold those cups there, but what happens when she walks with hot tea or coffee? Ha... Thanks, Tania.

Your Limerick was creative and fun...smiled as I read it. Melons Mable seems to be a bit brazen woman and one I wouldn't want to mess with :-) delightful read, hugs, Sara

Hilarious, Lin! And to think Mabel was a real person. She certainly knew how to use her size G or H assets to their "full" advantage! So fun! Thanks for the tickle! Blessings!

Dear Lin, LOL Your poem is a delightful read! The character of Mabel is brought to life through your words. You’ve managed to bring humor, great imagery, and a touch of the unexpected into your verses, making for a truly engaging piece. I particularly enjoyed the clever wordplay and the bold, unapologetic portrayal of Mabel. Keep up the great work, and continue to let your creativity shine! - Blessings, Daniel

She has the look that says, "I don't care what you think of me. I'm a confidant woman!" I am so delighted you enjoyed my verses, Daniel. Sometimes, I'm not sure if I should post things like this, but then I think as Mabel does... I'm a confidant woman and hope many poets will find something to like in what I write. Thanks!
