Virgo the Critic

There once was an old lady from Maine. Born in Virgo, a critic, quite plain, her zest for punctuation caused poetic frustration, but they cared for her all of the same. While writing one day this fine teacher met her match a right handsome preacher he dissected her acts found her lacking in tact and schooled her behind the wood bleacher!

Awesome, Deborah! (Are you referring to yourself? I appreciate the emails letting me know about typos, etc.) This is really funny! I'd give it first place for sure and I think I've read most of the entries. Love, Carolyn (Carol B. is looking for Ohio programs that might benefit Rhonda during her recovery. She's such a sweet lady!)
