Challenge

My girls and I meet once a week;
Each Tuesday between 10 and 2.
We are good friends with simple lives,
The bonds among us strong and true.
We sit and gossip just a bit
And listen to the other's woes.
Our lunch is usually potluck,
Some bringing Cool Ranch Doritos.

I am the only country girl
And married to my own cowboy.
He likes to sweep me off my feet
And shout "Yee Ha".He is my joy.
His grammar's not all it should be.
He says, "You ain't seen nothing yet."
But when I brag about my man,
Those girls are jealous, you can bet.

He often brings me in a rose,
Picked from my own small garden patch.
He bows and gives it with such dash,
You'd get the giggles, just to watch.
Helen's grandfather's clock strikes two.
The party's over, time to go.
In one more week we'll all be back
To tell of chatty news we know.
