Wally The Worrywart













Wally the worrywart,
Would waste the day away.
Warding off suspicious germs,
With Lysol he would spray.

Wanda the wild woman,
Worked at the strip club.
Waitressing in flimsy attire,
While serving up watered-down grub.

Warbling was her true passion,
Wishing for a clean slate.
Winking strangers made advances,
Wanda never took the bait.

Wally was stuck at a stoplight,
Wiping off a spot on his console.
Wanda didn't see the light change,
When her car began to roll.

Wrestling to pull them free,
Wary that they'd survive.
Weakened by the crash,
Willful to stay alive.

Whilst visiting in the hospital,
Waiting for their bandages to unravel.
Wally and Wanda shared common interests,
Whistling birds: love of travel.

Whiplash brought them together,
Wacky as it may sound,
Worrywart and wild woman prove,
Wanderlust has no bounds.

  6. My mother had an expression, "God makes them; the devil matches them. Wally and Wanda, a match made in heaven or hell?

  9. Wanderlust.
    We used to do that overseas.
    As we wandered from strip club to strip club, hoping we'd get lucky.

  14. A more unlikely couple we'd never see... and yet, I think it will work out:)

  15. Is this the plot of 1950s romantic comedy starring Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Munroe? If it isn't, it should have been!

  16. Alex - So true. The strangest things bring people together. Thanks Alex!

    Thanks Vanessa and Daisy!

    Al - Yep, it's pretty much the same thing. You must have been pretty hard to resist in your sailor suit, Al!

  18. This was great, GEM JULIE!

    I couldn't help thinking of Niles Crane while reading it - him always wiping down every chair before sitting in it, and completely paranoid about the unseen... germs.

  19. What a fun poem. Glad it had a happy ending.

  20. Julie - I also got a kick out of the cartoon. Thanks Julie!

    Stephen - I could see Niles in the role of Wally, and Daphne could definitely play Wanda! Although I'd prefer a Felix Unger pairing with one of the Pigeon sisters! Thanks Stephen!

    Elizabeth - I guess it is kind of a quirky love story! Thanks Elizabeth!

    Jo - Since I did add a few dark ones into the mix, I thought we needed another happy ending. Thanks Jo!
