Notes About The Poem

Melons Mabel

*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.

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!
