Belles On the LakeUnruffled beauties
float in boats rowed by their beaus
one warm Georgia day.
With fragile paper-white hands,
they...

A Pretty Red RoseMy lover sent me a pretty red rose,
Knowing it is my favorite bloom.
He is the most considerate of beaus.
I held it with its fragrance to my nose.
The lovely scent seemed to fill up the room.
My lover sent me a pretty red rose.
A slow sniff...

The Haunted TrioI have two sisters whom I love and adore
We are poets who can write of blood and gore.
Evil, Wicked, and Demented are our nicknames
Being fun and shocking is a few of our games.
Evil, for that, is I
Has had enough people lie
And tell me of their...

A New Coat of PaintThere is that barn again
The red peeling paint shouts
Old worn gray tired it says
Memories running track
Back in the fourties when
Youth did reign rule really
When the paint was new red
Dancing and prancing here
Singing joy fiddle plays
Squares were formed to music
Kicked up her heels in time
Red paint...

Mad March HaresThe boxing, leaping mad March hares
That chase and dash in umpteen pairs,
That tear through fields, and hare up hills -
All jealous Jacks, or Jacks and Jills
(The femme fatales, the luckless beaus)?
But are they crazy? No one knows…...

Momma Knows Best -- For ContestMomma always told me,
"Children should be seen but not heard."
'Til I streaked through her Garden Party
And muttered not a word.
Momma always told me,
"The best birth control is an aspirin held tight between your knees."
But my boyfriends ALL had headaches!
Glad I put their heads at ease!
Momma...

A Christmas SnowA picturesque scene revels in snow
As the snow globe turns skaters whirl
Arm in arm with their handsome beaus
A picturesque scene revels in snow
Lighted houses lined up in rows
Welcome mats 'pon verandas unfurl
A picturesque scene revels in snow
As the snow globe turns skaters whirl

HannahThere was young lady named Hannah,
Courted by beaus from Savannah,
As a real good Southern girl
Didn't surrender her pearl
Even when groped on the veranda....

Steeped In TraditionCouples marry; it's tradition
Since the beginning of time
Our children would do the same
While in their youthful prime
Handsome, intelligent, employed
Would be their choicest beaus
No ills would befall a safe home
Established in love that grows
Into a heart entered a love
A beau with mutant genes
Carrier of Huntington's

But his butt is wack’s coz he whacks the wax one first
That he won, son of a gun, under the fare sun at the fair.
Yet he needed Ann the witch, who kneaded and was...

Ain'T No DummyLong long ago in the land of milk and honey
Lived this sweetie who had a big batch of money
Quite popular with the beaus
After her money I suppose
Told them, “eat my shorts!” this gal was no dummy

What the Eye Sees the Heart Cannot ForgetThe little shack on the other side of the hill
Now another monument to death, he knows
But something beckons, something, still
This is the path the warrior chose.
Gun pointed at the scattering shadows
Nobody to trust, it’s better to fill
No assumptions. Presently he slows:
The little shack on the...
