Got ring
In Spring

I wed
My Ted

We kiss
Much bliss

Small bump
Huge Lump

Child bloomed
In womb

Kid grew
Loved blue

Good Years
Had tears

Best life
Old wife


I weep
He’s  sleep

Goodbye 
Swell Guy

night fight
might smite
quite right

Neal’s deal 
feel zeal

stand Strand
fan hand

give five 
dive thrive

hoarse horse
force course  

wife life
rife  strife

Spence tense
sense dense

Yellow 
Bright light

 

Long days
To play

 

Sun fun
Get burned

 


Skin red 
Cream skin

 


Summer
Picnic 

 


Hot grill
Smells good

 


Eat now
Tree shade



Play sports 
Let's swim

This poem will make the most sense if
you’ve watched the old time television series
“Get Smart.”

GUMSHOE IS GLUED

Silence -
timeless...

The cone
is prone

to make
mistakes.

Boss shares.
Max stares.

“Eh? What?”
“What? What?”

Swan Lake 
Toes ache

Can't sleep
Count sheep

Eat slow
Don't throw

Won race
First place

Do crime 
Serve time 

Drink gin
Room spin

Keep fit
Don't sit 

Up late
Bed waits

Cold spell
Wrap well

Don't smoke
You'll choke

Don't...

Beat spouse
Called louse

In funk
Got drunk

Left bar
Drove car

Cop stopped
Got popped

Smelled booze
Bad news

Tests muffed
Handcuffed

To jail
No bail

Court date
Learned fate

Judge gowned
And frowned

One year
Oh dear

Confined
He pined

Short shrift
Wife miffed

Entry for Caren...
