The Adventures of Jim the Trim - In An Islet

Jim, now rich, bought a wee li’l islet;
there he lived, with ten men and a starlet.
Changed his partner each day,
heaved and huffed till they say,
the islet is now, the town named Scarlet.





---------------------------------------------




The story's not over, he's not decadent.
Send away the men, he just simply can’t;
they built the town housing,
the roads and some building
for starlet Scarlet, whom the islet was meant.

This “ Joy and laughter prevents the angst from seeping in ” reads kind of ominous ???, Kim .

John Williams April 21, 2015 at 8:11 AM Thank goodness, I was a little worried about Jim, but if he's with the scarlet starlet, well that's more my cup of tea. But just in case if I ever meet Jim and we have a drink, I will never say in front of him, "Bottoms up.".................See you soon Kim.....John
