Ruth and the Truth

There was a girl called Ruth
Who never told the truth
When I asked her why
She had to lie
She said my name's not Ruth!

Ruth

Oh my love, in despair!
I while away hours thinking of you,
When you reply with just three words, I am in extesy.
But you are with him, not me.....

Ruth

There once was a psychic named Ruth,
Who always admitted the truth,
The truth, so it seems,
Comes to us in our dreams,
And not from psychics in a booth.

Ruth Shall Make You Free

Americans come by the clock
A British lass just hikes her frock
The French love a tongue
The Swedes like well-hung
But Left or Right Thai knows Bangkok!

there was usually a mean look on her face

Rain poured the night before
Reviving cobblestone
Ribbons round tambourine
Rollick, she kept ringing
Response of the peasants
Remarkable impact.
Ray of blush on her face

Salivating to desecrate
     Her bones
In state

Lacking
     Brains, Heart, Courage
The wizard 
     Capitulates.

Ruth of All Evil

Truth is Trump was seen in a kissing booth,
Doing things as usual which were in couth,
Wore orange hair;
Is hard to bare;
Of evil he has been known to be the ruth.

Premium Member Spinster Ruth

There was once an old spinster named Ruth

    Who was renowned for stretching the truth

       "Tho' many young swains wooed me,

            I could have married" said she,

                "But found them lecherous and uncouth!"

Premium Member Ruth the Soothsayer

Giant’s wife was angry Ruth
Thinks she is a super sleuth
Manners are usually uncouth
Some say she comes from Duluth

Ruth has a magic wisdom tooth
And the gift of a saysooth
When she speaks, it is the truth
Uh-oh, she’s sitting in the adjoining booth

She named her husband Ruth. He thought it was funny at first.
Her second husband was nicknamed Thomasina.
He left before the marriage was consummated.
You have to stop doing this her mother told her.

Spoil Sport Dick disowned her.

Ruth


The faith it takes to leave
All you’ve ever perceived.
The grace to go with one
Who already lost their son.
The loyalty to continue 
Until the very end
Demonstrates to all 
What it means to be a friend
God rewards the humble
God rewards the meek
God rewarded Ruth
And gave her more than she did seek.

Be Soft On the Feminine Gender

There are services Ruth can’t render
Because clearly she is quite tender
And you have no right of A Bender …

I mean, Ruth may try a News Vendor
Or your car wash only its fender 
Or your shoes keep leaving with Mender
And in your kitchen with A Blender …

Never forget that Ruth is slender 
And of The Feminine Gender.

Premium Member Auntie Ruth

Jittery and panicky is her truth.
A spinster who laughs harder than mothers,
She is my father’s cousin, Auntie Ruth.
Much more dazzling than lots of others.

Some say she is peculiar and can say-sooth.
She is insane, laughs some of my brothers.
She is hilarious to me, most uncouth!
I love her better than pretty much all of the others.

Ruth

Teeth stained, odour untamed 
Ruth is her name 
She smiles everyday 

My friend Ruth 
She likes city views 
Just like me and you 

Night-time falls 
Unphased by the cold 
My friend Ruth explores 

Pipes, bridges 
Benches, boxes 
She calls this place home 

Crime free and tax free 
My friend Ruth is happy 
Why wouldn't she be?

Premium Member Old Man Tee Joe and Sue Now Ruth

Old man Tee Joe did not know how to sew.
Pants were so long he could not plow his snow.
Found sewer named Sue
Is wooing her too.
They are so happy they both fairly glow!

Old Man Tee Joe popped the question at last.
Did not care about Sue’s worrisome past.
She told him the truth
He renamed her Ruth
Their forty-six years have been an utter blast!

Premium Member Our Mermaid Ruth

Never in the land of water and whir,
Had there ever lived such a mermaid pure.
Her scales were the loveliest of all the colors.
She was the envy of many mothers.

When we got to know her and saw her love
We knew she was graced with blessings above.
She had earned her colors, and she lived her truth.
She exuded peace and unity, our fair mermaid, Ruth.

Premium Member Thankful For Baseballand Babe Ruth

May we be blessed to acknowledge all the wonders in our life
that have, for us, thus far accrued…
and to begin each day with a word of thanks…
and thoughts of gratitude.

Today I’m thankful for baseball 
and the wisdom of Babe Ruth…
(Many old-timers will remember his name)
He said, ‘never let the fear of striking out
keep you from playing the game.’

Premium Member Ruth Expression of Love

Ruth,a lovely lady of Moab,
Nearly always picked up the tab;
Gav her mother-in-law a helping hand,
Emigrating back to her distant homeland;
Naomi quickly returned the compliment,
Matchmaking bing her special bent;
The romance of Boaz and Ruth,
Crossing wealth & caste,showed such love can last;
As grandson Jesse put forth his root,
From which sprang forth the eternal Truth.

How loving was Ruth. With her husband dead,
she stayed with his mother most willingly.
“Entreat me not to leave,” she said.
Better than seven sons was she
to her mother-in-law, Naomi.

Wither thou goest, I shall go,”
said Ruth as she left her homeland behind.
Great joy were Ruth and Naomi to know.
A kinsman for Ruth to wed they would find,
and a baby would bless them - for Ruth had been kind!

Ruth

I love my mother-in-law, I admire her way of life, I look at her God in awe, Who’s led her through deaths and strife, I followed her to her land, Leaving my people behind, My God had great blessings planned, Family love, I did find, Though I am a Moabite, In the lineage of Christ, I’ve found a place, such delight! God’s Grace and Love have sufficed.
