I once met ‘Miss Stake’ I still live to regret it It was an error Mean Miss Ogeny Shows contempt for women It’s so ironic Bad Miss D Meanour A truly wicked lady She’s quite offensive Impish Miss Chievous Butter won’t melt in her mouth She sure is trouble! Miss B Having She often causes issues What a naughty girl! Vile Miss Ann Thropy Sadly she hates all mankind She’s to be pitied 10/04/21

I hear that Miss Eltow will get everyone puckering up pretty soon and that Miss Shanarie is already in position. Fun list of interesting ladies, Jan. TRUE FACT… I had to retype LIST three time before it stopped saying LUST! ;-) Terry

these are just adorable, jan! in the 2nd grade, the teachers in my grandson's school had a vocabulary fair based on a book called "Miss Alaineus" about a girl who misunderstands some vocabulary words and is embarrassed. i'll bet you could keep going for quite a while with this idea...

October 4, 2021 at 2:22 PM
I have a few more ideas for poems,I was only going to do 5 but the more i did the more ideas came, mmm miss Alaineus is one i didn't think of! I may have to continue with many more:-) hugs Jan xx
