A Bit Of Baloney

A lovely young lady was blessed
With quite a magnificent chest,
But she would bleat
"I can't see my feet",
Their location she just simply guessed
------------------------
Joe wanted to watch his team play,
Bought tickets for championship day,
This upset his bride,
"You've forgotten " she cried
"That our wedding will be on that day!"
Oh my, what to say, what to do,
He'd really messed up, that he knew,
So he asked his pal Ed
"Will you go instead?
It's the church near the park - her name's Sue".

These gave me a late-afternoon laugh and I will be reading them to Anne, also a fan.

That's soo very funny, Janet. Especially that last one and the sentiments involved. I guess his lady should have made sure the date didn't have other meaning for her intended.

@MarshaMusselman Yes - the least she could have done is check that he hadn't anything more important to do on that day

I think Sue would be better off marrying Ed, anyway.

@puddlegum i thought I'll send you this as we think alike on this :)
Something old, something new
Something borrowed ,something blue
Adorned in these, waited Sue
In the churchyard under the yew.
He may have been Sue's beau
But the ball game meant more to Joe
To his wedding he would not go
And sent pal Ed to deliver the blow.
This was just the chance for Ed
It was Sue he always wanted to wed
"I love you deeply", to Sue he said.
Convinced , the bride married Ed instead.

@jaboUK One of them is famous. I don't know her as a friend, but I have talked to her in public a few times.
I've been pretty busy. I've been trying to write and publish stories, but during this heat and the exhaustion from haying, my writing abilities are shot. I need to recover a little before I can jump back into things.
I have images for making covers (royalty free ones that I bought already), a kindle account set up on Amazon, and all my tax information and payment portals ready to go. Now I just need to finish stories, edit, slap covers on them and publish. It takes a while. :P

@DeborahDiane I think there's a chance that she might notice the difference!

@Daljinder I expect she learned to balance, and yes Joe knows where his priorities lie - and his potential bride does now too.!
