Scooping the Blame

From a mostly-true story...

A party! It was just the thing for newlyweds to do,

And the weather and the comp’ny made the whole thing perfect, too!

T’was warm and sunny, food set out. And promised good discourse,

The kind that keeps you talking until everyone is hoarse!

The barbeque was done. The host had set up a small stand,

With yummy, creamy ice cream--every colour, type and brand,

Her husband made a beeline for it, and was first in line,

Then went again and then again—the number eight or nine!

His wife just frowned as he returned, said, “Hon, I’m curious…

“But aren’t you just a bit embarrassed some will see you thus?”

Her husband took a bite and shrugged. “There’s really no ado…

“Cause when they scoop another bowl, I tell them it’s for you!”

Cause Mondays do get knocked a lot,
With poetry, we all besought
To try to make the week begin
With gentle thoughts,
Perhaps a grin?
So Karen, Charlotte, Mimi, me
Have crafted poems for you to see.
And now you’ve read what we have wrought…
Did we help?
Or did we not?
