There once was a little tot
who wore her hair up in a knot.
She was cute and she was pretty
but more was the pity
that little Joe preferred a girl
who wore her tresses in a curl.
Tot’s happy now, and gay.

POOR HOUSE BOUND
They decided to end it all—
This penny-pinching was no good
and so they headed for the mall
to see what their pocket money could
buy. Searching cheap yet delicious,
they hoped horse would be nutritious.
Two croissants finished the menu.
Their front stoop being their venue,
the landlord found them sitting there
looking quite satisfied, of course,
after they spent the rent on horse.
With the eviction delivered,
the old woman shivered
while her man gave a booming belch,
which he was unable to squelch,
saying “Pardon,” but his sly grin
grew and then got away from him.
BOOKOPHILE
Published December 10, 2015 by Nan MykelNot all her lovers had looks
because you see they were books.
Their rendezvous was the shelf
where she’d clasp him to herself,
then peek under the cover
of her new paper lover.
By the time she checked him out
there was no longer any doubt;
despite what the critics said,
she was taking him to bed!
