who asked Archie to play the harmonica
turned out the sound was so bad

     High praise for Talkartoon Betty Boop
     Her Jazzy theme song Poop poopy doop!
     Many have thought of her  a sexpot
     She’s innocence and sass, shy she’s not!

An American legendary comedian and actress
Now smiles on new stamp of USPS
A long-lived fellow born in Illinois
With perpetual charm and glamor, oh boy!

Her screen role and contributions brought her fame
First woman who produced the American national TV show
A sitcom star with various awards, still to mention below.

For almost seven decades

Premium MemberBetty White graces a stamp

Betty White lived so long,
they had all kinds of names for her.

She managed to stay America's sweetheart
for a century by being kind and funny.

A heart of gold worn on her sleeve,
she could make everyone smile.

Her sweet face is now on a stamp 
while the tributes continue coming.

Her curls sweet and eyes a'glitter but
it's her smile

Premium MemberBETTY AND THE DOCTOR

We are pet sitting our neighbor’s cat and dog…which means we’re wearing two hats
one for Betty (she’s the dog) and one for Doctor (he’s the cat).

Dogs and cats are different…we know this to be true…
so I’ve had the opportunity to compare and contrast the two.

I’ve been walking Betty in the morning…she get’s excited once her

Betty was not very tall
Her shoes seem to be small
She walked with a limp
Mistaken for a gimp
Or an excess of alcohol

Premium Memberbaseball betty is a hands on woman

Baseball Betty asked her new boyfriend to help teach the little girl baseball.
She had no idea that Stanford had never been to a game.
He did not know how it was played.
He had never held a bat.
Or possibly one ball.

For an hour and a half Betty taught Veronica how to play baseball.
While Stanford read a book

Boneless Betty, from THE WOMAN WHO COULD EAT WOOD

Boneless Betty


Every day Boneless Betty wished she could help her baker family. But she could hardly move in bed!
If she stood up, her nerves, blood flow, lungs, organs, 
would get blocked, squeezed, and she’d die in bed!

One day, 
after being spoon-fed, 
she and her family decided to 
carefully stack on her their loaves of bread.

Premium MemberPoetry Soup

'Twas not long ago, I did retire -
Time for me to regroup.
And like a buzzing fly, I fell into
A bowl of Poetry Soup!

My IT job did not prepare me.
Artistically, I'm a dupe.
My reading list has only Dr. Suess.
Don't scoop me from Poetry Soup!

My greatest influence, I must say,
Is the brilliant Betty Boop.
I would surely like

Bubble Bong Betty with high heeled shoes
Ate too much candy but never touched booze
Trotted around showing all of us her fancy stuff
Her voice was melodic, not a bit sharp or rough

She had a way that was soft but also pretty unique
Johnny said Bubble Betty is the kind of woman I seek
We all agreed she was

Premium MemberBlooming Betty

Bad breath Betty
Never had a steady
Or anything
Be it friend or foe.
Everyone avoided her don't cha know.
Then she went to the zoo
Met Evalynn
Who blew flowers through her nose.
Betty had to find out how that goes.
Evalynn said, "step near,
I'll tell you the secret
That no one must hear.
Lean closer now!"
And Betty did.
What she said would have shocked you,
But

betty

betty lourdes said she had the choice
to choose
where the river goes
a divine rod of sorts
a word to say
amongst the falling leaves
water and wardle
going to see the river man 
and how about those plans
about the right to  wallow
along the stream
recapturing the summer
she lost in her pain
