Notes About The Poem

There's someone for everyone. ;)

Nellie and Toby

There once was a young girl named Nellie,
Who loved peanut butter and jelly.
She ate till it hurt and extended her girth,
Now they're calling her Nellie the Belly.

There once was a young man named Toby,
Who yearned for a shiny gold trophy,
But he had two left feet and was no athlete,
And his muscles succumbed to atrophy.

Now Nellie and Toby did meet,
And each thought the other was sweet.
They decided to marry and they didn't tarry,
And produced chubby kids with bad feet.
