Oh, To Meter
I have a friend I’ve never met.
She lives real far away and yet,
For her I have a great affection;
There’s an absolute connection.
If I passed her on the street,
We likely wouldn’t get to meet
For how she looks, I have no clue;
Her avatar will have to do.
And since that is a dragonfly,
It won’t help me identify
This poet from the Isle of Man
I’ve come to treasure, dear sweet Jan.
Her verses are a joy to read,
The humour almost guaranteed
And many on the Soup receive
Supportive comments she does leave.
We Soupers are a lucky crew
But if you’re in the favored few
Who call Jan Allison a friend,
You’ll understand the poem I’ve penned.
