The Wanderer

After Cindy’s mother got dementia
She began to wander searching
For her deceased husband Joe
And Cindy had to find her and
Bring her back home and remind
Her mother that her husband
Joe had died twenty years ago
Cindy’s mother kept wandering
And looking for the love of her life
And Cindy had to keep finding her
Until one day Cindy’s mother died
And wandered into the afterlife
Dementia-free and finally found Joe

Sated Pigs

Angelo loved his collie dog he named Skip.
His troublesome neighbor hated barking dogs.
Skip was a quiet dog, rarely barked
Except one night when a burglar
Tried to break into Angelo’s house,
Which woke the neighbor up and
Despite the circumstances, pissed him off.

The next day the neighbor gave Skip a biscuit.
An hour later Skip threw up and was so sick
Angelo raced him to a vet who discovered Skip
Had been poisoned and tried to save Skip’s life.
His efforts failed, and Skip died on the examination table.
Angelo, a mafioso, had seen the neighbor give Skip the biscuit.
One week later, the neighbor mysteriously disappeared,
Much to a pig farmer’s oinking and sated pigs delight.

A Waste of Time

She lived a challenging life
Had three children and poor
Decided to change it one day
By writing a romance book
And making more money

Her mother said that was a
Foolish and impractical plan
You won’t make any money
She ignored her mother’s
Practical but hurtful advice

She stayed true to her dream
A year later, she finished her
Book and had a pro edit it
After having it turned down
By twenty-three publishers

Eventually her book was
Published and the book
Became a loved bestseller
That lifted her out of poverty
And made her a lot of money
