Ol' Jimmy Jam Jones

Ol' Jimmy Jam Jones
he's got noodles for bones
it don't bother him none
he just hums to the strum
of a tune, just for fun
that plays quite loudly 
in his old ear drum.

Yep, he's got poor jelly legs
they whip and wobble all day
but Jimmy Jam, he don't quiver
or cry or get bitter
'cuz he knows that he's got
a mighty long liver! 

Jimmy Jam's got long toenails, too
so his feet stick like glue
though at times he gets stuck
sure as heck gets in a rut
and his tongue starts to cluck.

When he straightens his back
Jimmy Jam's dentures clack
'cuz his spine is in pain
but he don't ever complain
like some folks may claim.

Yes, sir, Jimmy Jam, he's right sweet 
greets ever' one that he meets
as he wobbles down the street
and smiles, at times with no teeth.

That's ol' Jimmy Jam Jones
who's got noodles for bones.

I love zany, Laura. Laurel & Hardy zany suits me just fine. This was hilarious ... a riot w/good rhyming rhythm. Cool poem. Love and joy to you always.
