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.

Will never forget my first real love, Mary Ross
Toppled head over heels, so cuddly and soft
Was blown away
In love's sweet ballet
Think of her still though to another I'm betrothed...

Ross is my single young adult son.
Often pitches in to help others.
Sincerely loves to be on the computer… a lot.
Secure about his abilities.

Father Ross made secret visit, to widow’s house past midnight,
Lamp in hand, she let him in, guided him to master bedroom,
his tough wife should never know, Ross went to see his old mother!

Wherever borne is The cross,
Christ is The Sure Boss:
His Kingdom, a good distance from loss,
Your guaranteed profit in gross;
Your dully painted walls, Brilliant Gloss,
Every rolling stone clothed in Moss…
No room for the coins gamblers toss
And a dying interest in somebody else’s Ross....

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

E-arnestly serve the Maker, 
N-o matter come what may; 
R-emain vigorous or dynamic
I-n the midst of gray.
C-arry on despite the weather, don't decrease your intensity; 
O-n the fifteenth of May, glorify the Almighty.

C-ross the finish line, 
R-each the kingdom of the Father; 
U-se the fervor and passion, 
Z-eal to serve the Maker....

C-ross the deepest sea 
H-owever far or wide; 
O-bliterate your fear, 
Y-our doubt and fret subside. 

B-egin to cross the deepest sea, 
O-n the tenth of May; 
R-ugged wind will come, 
C-rushing your boat as you pray. 
E-xpect the stormy weather, 
L-ife is fraught with misery; 
I-n spite of the rain, 
S-tart to cross the deepest sea....

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”!...

Phoebe Buffay 
Plays her guitar every day
She often sings ‘Smelly cat’
Sadly her voice is very flat

Ross Geller
Is quite a nerdy feller
He said Rachel’s name when he got wed
His bride Emily probably wished him dead!

C-ross the finish line, 
A-spire towards the crown; 
R-ise up every time you fall, 
L-et not your wings go 
A-ground. 

R-eady to cross the finish line, 
U-se faith, hope, and love; 
T-hird of May Wednesday 
A-ims to get them from above. 
Q-uest the Lord's guidance, 
U-nder the Father's design; 
I-t's time to hit the mark, 
O-r cross the finish line....

Rode horse
Of course

His hoss
Named Ross

Ropes steers
Slurps beers

Slouch hat
Flaunts gat

Wears boots
No suits

Eats beans
Wears jeans

Raised hell
Pell-mell

What's more
He swore

Has gal
Named Sal

To pub
For grub

They dance
Romance

They kiss
Pure bliss

Gets slopped
Fun stopped

Big brawl

J-ust cross the wide blue ocean, 
A-llow not your dreams to fail; 
N-ever fear the brewing storm, 
E-ven the waves during your sail.

F-riday December fifteenth, 
R-each your one greatest goal; 
A-im at the heavenly bliss, 
N-o reason to worry at all.
C-ompleting your God-given race
I-s needed to attain salvation; 
S-tay strong to brave the weather, 
C-ross the wide blue

Picture this, a pink and orange party room, the new guy said.
We stared at Ross, wondering how he had gotten this far.
Truly, let me do my job, he said. Let me show you.
Two of the liberalist of the liberals decide to.
I am one of them.
This party room has been rented almost daily for six years.
Brides have switched their colors to orange and pink for this room.
I am glad we let him show us....
