Across the border from Laredo, ...in a small cantina, Works a girl, I know her well, ...my ebon haired Edwina. A smile she has like grand piano, ...her teeth gleem black and white, Long braided hair grows on her back, ...is quite a hairy sight. She sings just as the meadowlark, ...globetrotter, not the bird, Talks only in the Spanish tongue, ...in English, not a word. It matters not, for we both speak, ...in language of true love, Si, Si, Edwina, gracias, ...my Spanish turtle-dove. We dance the night, the cha-cha-cha, ...as we drink tequila, When bottle's dry, we eat the worm, ...and does Edwina squeala. Oh how I long, to once again, ...return to small cantina, And spend the night with my true love, ...my Spanish fly, Edwina. Okay... so I had a bad day... give me a break. |

Mike, if this is what you do when you have a bad day, then I say good way to manage stress. Put a little rhymed humor on the page..and make someone else smile....that's me smiling. Hope you have better days! |

Mike~ LOL ! Threw me a curve for sure ! Got me giggling. Have a margarita, my friend. Even your worst day at work couldn't be so bad that it stifled your humor. Funny man ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
