Betsy Ross of Colonial days
Could never imagine the ways
Our United States flag would be blessed
To fly on the Moon and Mount Everest.

I used to walk here with my dog, Betsy,
I used to walk here with my dog, Bo.
Both have gone up to doggy heaven.
Wonder if they're still making yellow snow.

old Betsy ross once fashioned a flag
from freedom's blood -n- crates of tea bags
the radical right snatched its meaning
the radical left branded it demeaning
now Betsy has stars stuffed up her a ss

I'm retired now and I'm feeling pained,
My eyesight's gone off and my hair's not regained,
My wrinkles are deeper and I've got false teeth,
Surely to Betsy there'll be some relief,
But no, only today my remote control finger got sprained.

It is said the first flag maker was Ms. Betsy Ross
Was also said she could do well with some dental floss
As one can imagine twas because she ran out of thread
She forgot to order it because she didn't take her meds

Betsy Wetsy was the doll we all had to have in the sixties.
She drank water, and she wet, and she came with diapers.
We were thrilled, watching diaper changes on TV
Every Saturday morning until we were in a frenzy about it.
I think every girl in 1965 had a Betsy Wetsy doll.
Because I did, and I was always last.

Styled like a T Bird.
She really purred in third.
By listening to the engine
you did shift.
Ahe was sleek and styling
if you get my drift.
Her body golden cream,
the roof black.
It's the one with the roof
that slants slightly back.
Pop shifting soon became
my speciality.
I just loved my
1964 Super Sport Chevy.

To the Redcoats Betsy Ross lied.
“It is not a flag!” she decried.
“I'm due at a wedding
and all of this threading
will be a new gown for the bride!”
“But it isn't just one little dress,”
with nose growing she had to confess,
“A collection I've planned--
t'will sell big in the land--
at my discount stores, Ross Dress for Less”!

Betsy Winters
I try drawing you from old memories
but can't get your eyes right. I don't see
the body that destroyed my earnest vows.
I can't see your warm young breasts and
nipples that grew so hard by my caress.
I can't see us dancing naked in the dark.
I wish I'd kept the photos. I cremated us
in an ashtray and I can't see us anymore.

I saw the Christmas pendant and I knew
It would be the best thing to buy for my Aunt Lou
She loves Betsy Johnson, a decorator with flair,
So, I bought it for her, to show that I know and care.
Aunt Lou was overjoyed for sure
She knows I love her and my heart is pure
She did not care I bought the pendant at half price.
She was thrilled and excited, said "it's so nice!"

I see the snow falling again,
Again I must start up ""Old Betsy"" before bed,
Bed brings cold feet and shivers until the
body heat thaws it out,
Out again to start another day,
Day brings kid's hopes of no school,
School radiators pop and moan to warm the
building,
Building up of snow is a potential income
for the young scooping snow for the old,
Old and tiring is Another Iowa Winter.

Ballad
O, do you remember sweet Betsy from Pike?
She trekked ‘cross the prairie in search of a dyke.
She developed incontinence in Illinois;
She was cured of what ailed her by a strange nether boy.
Well, she only spoke German and he only spoke Dutch,
But the way that he plugged holes, didn’t need to speak much.
She’s sworn off the women, and forsaken the booze;
They’re now clogging in Portland in some fine wooden shoes.

Betsy was quite fickle
A cow who loved her pickle
She ate it with corn
As her calf bawled, forlorn
To be left with only a trickle
Of milk not worth a nickel
Since, in all truth, it did mourn
For milk that didn’t taste like a pickle
PLAYFUL word chosen

A Curious Creation is an Auto:
You name it to reflect
The Personality it ought to.
Call her 'Linda,' and she's your girl;
Dub her 'Rocket,'
To give her a whirl.
If she's 'Betsy,' she's old and pokey,
While 'Elizabeth''is a tad bit hokey.
To convey solidity and trust
Call your car 'Ben.'
And if you want to save money,
--Pay for it in yen.

Light Verse
oh my gosh
heavens to betsy and all
it is springtime in december
come one, come all
i immediately make plans to head to the beach
i never thought such a great feeling would be this close in reach
again on the road a travel
no plans but no worries
it not matter if it all will unravel
i will stare at the ocean even in snow flurries
i guess i am yearning for the ultimate alternative vibe
i am being blessed by the Good Lord Above....feeling so alive in the element of my tribe
