Charity bit Jenny
Jenny bit a bug
The bug bit Susie
Then hid underneath the rug
Susie bit Jasper
Who sat upon a stool
The stool tipped over
Kept Jasper after school
Jasper bit his dog
Who blamed it on the cat
The cat bit our neighbor
Who believed it was a bat
The neighbor called the MD
The MD didn’t care
Then the neighbor bit the postman
On the derriere.
The postman went crazy
(we know they often do)
Bit a passing hobo
Who bit a bird or two
The birds bit an elephant
Who took it quite to heart
Now that you are listening
Here’s the funny part
The elephant bit a kid
Who was visiting the zoo
The police were called
And took an interview
The questioning went on
‘Til they solved the crime
Now Charity’s in shackles
Doing lots of time
The moral of this story
We’ll remember from this day
A little bit of Charity
Goes a long,long way!

That was great. See, you also need to get your musings into book form.
That is my intention …if only for Katherine!
Thanks!
Thank you Helen…also thanks so much for your comment on “Jingle Poetry “Poem of the Week”.
Hi. Just a stranger passing through here, really, as I buzz around the blogs that made it onto tonight’s WordPress humor feature page.
If I never come back this way, I’ll at least have stopped long enough to say that this poem is essentially one long, entertaining setup–and now that you are listening, here’s the complimentary part–for perhaps the “sillyhappiest” pun I’ve ever read.
Charming. 🙂
Charmed by your humorous praise ,sir 😉
Thanks very much!
What a fun poem – perfect rhythm and flow! And the tie-in at the end – brilliant! Thank you for making me laugh!
Being silly is what I do best!
I am beaming!
Just to let you know, I’ve chosen your “Little Bit Strange” as the Poem of the Week at Jingle Poetry blog. I loved it!
My goodness! I’m so flattered and very happy to spread laughter when I can!
You rock!
Thanks! What fun it is to have time online!

I am so very proud myself…I am so pleased to be a part of your “poetic” family! Thank-you!
Brilliant, fun poem and a worthy winner.
I am so very pleased that you enjoyed it!
Thank-you!
I think that of all the one that I’ve read today this one is my favorite! very fun!
That makes me happy! Thanks!
I know Susan very very well . I’ve known her for years. Her first recorded poem was written at 3 as she sat on her swing on a windy day with a storm approaching:
“The tree holds the sun while the clouds have fun.”
I was there!!!!!!!
Thank you longtime friend! (I didn’t say old, HA!)
That was so much fun…thanks for this!! Hope you have a good weekend xx
Ah,the weekend has been wonderful…the honor of poem of the week has sustained me in a giddy way 😉
I love it when I find a kindred spirit in humorous poetry. I love this little story, and ironically was reminded of “Miss Susie Had A Steamboat” and now I see YOU are Miss Susie too!
I’m looking forward to more from you, and I hope you take a look at my blog as well. My limericks are usually the fun stuff, so just search that tag.
Welcome to the Jingle Poetry World!

I can’t wait to have a moment or 3 to enjoy your work!
Thank-you kindred poet:-)
What a sweet and lovely story.. I liked reading it and it brought a smile on my face… which was frowning as I just watch a Hindi formula movie and had my mind numbed into coma, incapable of any thinking… your sweet little story got me out of inactivity…thanks for sharing.

It very pleasing to me that this was enjoyed at just the right moment! Thank-you.
Oh Susan, this made me laugh and laugh. Quite like that old song, “The green grass grows all around” and the nursery rhyme about the house that Jack built, but with an original, contemporary spin.
My sister in law is a postal worker and she says she never saw anyone go nuts, but the numbers don’t support her, hee hee hee.
Peace, Amy
So pleased that it tickled your funny bone:-)
I know many postal workers…I keep an eye on them just the same! HeHe!
