Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Rubies That Fit the Queen 'To a T'

I spent my day shopping for rubies
Can you picture a grown man doing that
But I was assigned to a very special mission
To decorate the new Queen of England's hat

What happened to Elizabeth II, you gasp
Oh, she decided to abdicate now that Meghan
Markle has lost much of her luster and sparkle
Since the news leak 'bout her and Patty Reagan

What? Patty Reagan! The -- ahem -- alternative kind
Of lover for Ms. Meghan? Why, that's truly alarming
Especially for Prince Harry (The guy must be blind)
He can't find this development too charming...

But, O! About those rubies I was shopping for --
I was trying to find some color other than red
Yet hot pink was the lone shade in the bloody spread
O, dread. Some days it doesn't pay to get out of bed

So, I finally settled on these rave ultra-cheapies
Not to snicker: I just picked 'em from Rookery's 'ruby-tree'
And don't you worry. They'll suit the new Queen 'to a T'
You know who it is -- It's Ms. Daniels, Stormy

Kim Rodrigues July 14, 2020 at 3:29 PM Oh boy! Did that really happen with Meagan Markle or are you...well you are anyway...spreading gossip? The end was funny! Gershon Wolf July 14, 2020 at 6:03 PM Well, Kim, you know that I just have to be up on the latest developments with 'Meg,'… and have I told you what Kelly Ann Conway whispered in my ear the other night about the secret of Donald Trump's hair?! ---My, my, my. It made my own hair literally stand on end.... ~ Gershon the Gossip

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart July 14, 2020 at 5:52 AM LOL!!!! I think Julia will get a kick out of this one! Now whether or not that sends you across the finish line I couldn’t say. A winner for me though ~x Gershon Wolf July 14, 2020 at 6:05 PM Ha, ha! If Julia gets a 'kick' out of this curli-cutie, then maybe it'll earn me a 'free kick' you-know-where.' Then I'll cross the 'Finished Line! ~ Thanks, Mo! :) gw

Jenna Logan July 14, 2020 at 3:25 AM Is this 'Breaking News,' Gershon? Your shopping spree was wild! Gershon Wolf July 14, 2020 at 6:06 PM Well, I guess this is, in fact, 'Breaking News,' Jenna. I bought so many rubies, that I'm plumb 'broke! ~ Smiles, Gershon
