Poor Peter's Penelope

Poor Peter got married without a dime
  For cash for stocks for bonds he had no time
    Now what kind of wife
    Would live such a life
  Penelope writes poetry 'fool-time'

Pretty funny! Oh how can we be useful in this life and not be foolish with our time?

Sometimes it seems as if we were put here to cry at our clumsiness.... But only sometimes... Pressing ahead!

She should take her PEN and poetic ideas and ELOPE from FOOL PETER while her muse is inspiring her to write, Take care, Gershon.

Don't worry, Shirley. From Peter she will lope. Penelope's no dope. ~ Short and Sweet, Gershon

Well, perhaps if Penelope pens some innocuous poems, the New Yorker will buy them & pay the big bucks? Maybe she should switch to visual arts, do every painting sans clothing , in public & that will get herself some fame & money no matter how good her work is… she need more ideas? Hmmmmmmm

Ha, ha! Penelope's no Yoko Ono and Poor Peter's no John Lennon. Not likely she'd be such an exhibitionist... Thanks for your fun and funny comments. Enjoyed! Huzzah! ~ Gershon

Penelope must know it just doesn't pay - To write poetry by night and by day - Now she has got hitched - She'll never be rich - But they'll live on love and will fade away…… Belle

I hope she makes a few bucks, if I was her I'd kick out that waste of space and tell him to get a job. Hope your new year is off to a good start Gershon. Tom
