Sorry!! I think Dolly Parton's muse got lost in the snow and stopped in to see me.

Man Bait

O don't think that I a'int seein'
As you roll those purty eyes
And my man stands there a gogglin'
Like he'd won some sort of prize;
For my ma taught me aplenty
How to keep that man of mine
And how to reel him back in
When he gets too long a line.

I may not be your match at wooin'
Or in causin' men to swoon
But when you see the trick I'm packin'
It might make you change your tune.
You'll be feelin' mighty foolish
When I cut you down to size,
For there ain't no man worth keepin'
Can resist my apple pies.

Dear Joyce:  Really clever and Dolly Parton could take lessons from you!

Thanks for that nice card you sent Ron! He loved getting it.

Love

Yes Joyce, I will keep niblin
on your prized poetry
and hope that I don't swallow whole

and hope that I don't swallow whole
hooks after gettin reeled in.

Reminds me of, "Sam's Fish-Tale- (Triolet)


that Monday, They swam through Sam’s oceans
heeding lessons, "Stay far from Light."
By Thursday, foreplay seized notions,
that Monday, they swam through Sam's oceans.
And to the Light of Sam's potions,
the chum bridge seemed to taste so right.
Last Monday, They swam through Sam's oceans
heeding outcome, "Fish die in Light."

GreenPeace fish-cops arrive too late.

This is adorable! They always said the way to a man's heart is through his stomach and you just proved it. Very accurate story with a very cute ending!!
