Showdown

It's time for a showdown.
I saw him at the hoedown,
flirting with Missy Brown.
No wonder I have a frown. 
He behaves like such a clown
when he's out on the town.
I'll whack him on the crown.
That'll bring him back down
to Earth with a bang!

Jean, this rhyme makes me cheer, sing, whistle, hoot, and do the happy dance!

Ha! I see you had the same thought as I did going with the "own" rhyme!! The first thing that came to my mind was hoedown too!!

I know. I thought it a coincidence as well. I had not read your poem and you had not read mine. I'd love to say great minds, but I have a long way to go to match yours Andrea.

He's just having a little fun... don't whack him too hard...a little pinch on his cross buns might not be bad...All the best Jean

A little pinch you say? OK, after I pull his ears I'll give it a go Arturo.
