Jeanette struck gold at the Worlds and Euros,
The non-Paralympic Worlds and Euros, that is,
In the sport of canoeing and she has portfolios,
In the Paralympic world as a swimmer, the biz.
She’s won a total of twelve swimming medals,
At five Paralympics going way back to Seoul,
But took up canoeing recently - one of her pals,
Nagged her into it. And has kids, a partner soul.
At the ICF Worlds in Milan in the class of K1,
Jeanette won the gold medal, and then in 2016,
At the ICF Worlds in Dulsburg, Germany’s lung,
Jeanette won silver in the K1 200m KL1 mean.
She took the gold at Rio, making it thirteen
Paralympic medals in total, and she said:
“I thought I’m never going to like it, [not keen],
but once I did it I absolutely loved it [dead].”

PORTRAIT NO. 5
AUTUMN
by Jeanette Jones
Homes across the countryside,
sits amidst of Autumn.
Whispers of wind play rapidly in the dark,
as leaves await for daylight to hit the ground.
Morning float into play, as the moon gives in, to the sun.
Admiration of lovers passing by
capture birds in flight.
Smiles on the faces, they brace for the breeze
of Autumn.
FROZEN by Jeanette Jones based on Portrait No. 4 Lake by Georgia Engelhard
This became my calming place,
this deep, deep, blue lake
frozen into time
whether day or night,
my serenity.
I lose sense of time,
caressing it,
deep in my mind.
I love this place.
This lake’s frozen
clouds above, reflections.
night time
or day.
Frozen.
There was an old lady called Jeanette.
Who wiggled in line for a toilette.
She said, "I can't wait!
I fear it's too late.
And my bottoms a bit more than wet."

JEANETTE AND NELSON
jeanette and nelson
nothing sweeter, more serene
a lost innocence
Sweethearts of the 30s –
We old timers can’t forget them
And when they sing together
We weep.

The dragon-lady - breathing fire
To burn us up her one desire
Had the foreboding monthly inspection
I'd rather just have an injection!
Have to clean and clean and clean
Dragon- lady sure can be mean!
