Dear Mr. Hallmark
I'm sending this to see
If you will read my poems
Then get back to me

My friend Spud is sure
That I'm just what you need
And though I'm still an amateur
I must confess to greed

I can't write a "tour de force"
(My talent being nil)
And I know he's ready to divorce
For my rhyming makes him ill!

So help me make this friendship grow
And add me to your ranks
Then Spud can say "I told you so"
As we carry the money to my banks!

Every man has his price, I know
At least that's what they say
But I never thought I'd stoop so low
As I have done today

For in my heart I still yearn
To write that perfect poem
But now I'll wait until I learn
If Hallmark's my new home!

------
Grandma Bea

have i started a trend?
the ONLY thing that lets this piece down and i am not even sure that it does, is that it rhymes differently in the first stanza, but like i said, it is not a let down as such, it just differs!

Who's the teacher here?
Hi Man and Chop, thanks I tickled your "Phunny Bone." However, since I'm old enough to be his grandmother, guess who's the teacher here. (Don't tell anyone, but I taught Spud everything he knows!) I'm just to modest to admit it!

That's my mothe-in-law!
Mrs. Boyle was my mother-in-law Chop...you can call me Bea (or Grandma) whichever...!
I'm not old enough (or stuffy enough) to be called Mrs. Boyle!

Jeannie, glad you enjoyed it.

hadn't been watching
Hey Bea!

So... I'm away from the site for a few days, and I almost missed this! Ah, timing, eh? :-)

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's mentioned Hallmark when your poems have come up... come to think of it, I don't even think I was the first! But it gave me a good laugh anyway. hehehe :-D

Good fun, very cute... and as far as I know, it's the first time anyone's written a poem about me. *grin* ... so how can I not love it? :-)

never fear, grandma dear!
"sorry mrs boyle" was just me being silly after you said that you were the teacher out of the two of you. after me saying you were merely the student, i was expecting to see a little old lady wearing tennis shoes, coming after me with a baseball bat. so i thought i better apologise quick!

(haha!)

the chopper.
