Jim's jalopy stalled outside the joint,
Jukebox playing their favorite tune.
Juleps ordered at the bar,
Jumpy as he waited for his June.
Jitterbug contest just announced,
Jessie gestured for Jim to take her hand.
Jovial as he politely declined,
Jealous he refused to be her man.
Jaws dropped as men eyed the sultry stranger,
June ran into his outstretched arms.
Jim felt like time stood still,
Joyful as he drank in all her charms.
Jilted Jessie aimed to pull the trigger,
Jigsaw pieces scattered in the hall.
Janitor swept up what was remaining,
Jury's still out on the final call.
Jaywalking en route to the courthouse,
June awaits the trial's outcome.
Judge tenses as June is handcuffed,
Justice served for buying Jessie's gun.
What an excellent poem, wonderful to read.

As always, so clever . . . and so many Js, and a twist at the end too :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteRhonda - I had trouble choosing one "J, " so I may have overcompensated! Thanks Rhonda!

I was not expecting it to end like this. However, if Mrs Lanza lived she probably would be tried as well.
ReplyDeleteKiller ending.
ReplyDeletewow--so creative!!!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed how you put this all together, poetic story I say and I loved how you used the Js in each sentence, with the twist too. Brilliant.

Munir - This is just a light make believe poem about "J" words. It has nothing to do with the horrific Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.
Good one Delores!
