Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

The Jon Bon Jovi Rest Area

On the Garden State Parkway
In New Jersey state,
There are places to stop
To put food on your plate

Or put gas in your tank
Or prevent further grief
With a stop to the restrooms
To get some relief.

Certain rest stops are named
After locals of fame,
Since their monikers give them
A touch of acclaim.

One such area called
“Jon Bon Jovi” salutes
The adored well-known singer
With New Jersey roots.

I’m not sure if Bon Jovi’s 
Possessed of a clue
That his namesake’s the place
People pee or they poo.

Marikate Kingston September 28, 2024 at 7:37 PM Such a wild long haired rocker in the 80's but now has opened shelters that serve food all over the country to the homeless. Unlike most celebrities, he has been married to the same woman for 20 years. He rocks. Thank goodness there are places like that to stop on that turnpike, driven there before. Your poems are easy for me to relate to. I like them so much, I could read them all night

Robert L. Hinshaw September 3, 2024 at 5:23 PM Love it, Ilene, especially the last para. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you have a very special talent for taking the mundane and making a great story! Bob H
