Jean Murray Poet Rhyme

Sendup

Can't Jamaica little speed?
I asked the waitress.
It's Chili outside and I'm Hungary.
I told you I'd have tagliatelle.
Canton that to fill my belly.

I thought I might have Turkey,
seeing as it's Christmas.
The cook said he Canada that
until next week.
What a freak!

Wine glasses here, Fullum up.
I prefer my tea in a China cup.
Austin will be joining me.
Ohio Loughlin, a friend Oswell.
That makes a table Fortree.

Silly me, Scotlands too.
I forgot about you.
Forgive my Eire Scot.
The waitress Wales to the Cook
"Strait, yet another mate."

Please sendup a plate.

Jan Allison December 15, 2017 at 7:06 PM lol very clever jean!:-) hugs jan xx Jean Murray December 16, 2017 at 1:18 AM Thank you Jan. The first line comes from a poem my father had written at college. He showed me once, long ago. In my mind's eye I can still see the tattered memento he had kept from his youth. The rest of his poem was on a similar vein and much better than mine.

Sunlite Wanter December 15, 2017 at 6:35 PM You are just toooooo clever! Jean Murray December 16, 2017 at 1:12 AM If only I would put my brains to better use Sunlite. I had zero ambition as a teenage student, unlike my three clever clogs, each with their Masters.
