"Gerry/Clementine/Untitled"

 by 



Bill Elder 



Gerry

        Ruminant geriatric,

        Reminiscing frisky,

        Sipped his dietetic,

        Pretending it was whiskey.

************



Clementine

A lump on her chest,

    Caused Clementine's vest,

        To bulge in an extra location.



The males on the make,

    Did a double-take,

        Speculating the aberration.



They'd seen two, or none,

    And some just begun,

        But never before - congregation.

********



Untitled

Grandpaw Riddle,

    Skidding in spittle,

    Broke a hip in the resthome can,



    From his hospital bed,

    Reportedly said,   

    "From the fire to the frying pan."
