We Are Well Suited

There are a bunch of silly billies
They do cartwheels on my fingernails
I am astounded; wondering how they know
I am not persnickety or in a bad mood.
 
Come on! I say to the silly billies
As they summersault over my arms
landing on my shoulders
after a triple flip.
 
My husband asks what I am doing.
The silly billies put their fingers to their lips
Sh! They warn me.
Everyone is not ready to see or hear silly billies

Nothing I lie.
Hey! Are those my geebie weebies? He says.
We were partnered by God for a reason....

Hmmm...not sure I've figured out what "silly billies" are, but I'm going to work on it. Reminded me of Dolly Parton playing the intro to 9 to 5 on her fingernails (sounded like typing).

This was not the whole poem. I have to look it up and add the rest so the title makes sense.
