Mystic Rose Rose Poet Limerick

Milton's Old Gal, From Kalamazoo

There once lived a girl with a bonnet of straw  
her song was so bad yet they did not outlaw   
blame the song not the brain    
said the chap, quite insane    
at the Kalamazoo bar even whiskey guffawed   

Milton the server from the far edge of town 
wiped down his bar and then gave her a frown 
she did not take heed 
she was all voice and greed  
at Kalamazoo hub all they drank was the Crown     

Her name was Petunia she sang like a spoon 
until Mexico John said, " I'll marry you soon"
she married him quick 
though thick as a brick 
he was cute as can be and played a bassoon.
