SNAKY DRESS

The office wonder, Joanne,

Wore her “snake skin” again…

Black-white-grey

Not real–I’d say–

She rocks it (I’m a biased man)!

–

It looks like a “python” print,

Large enough one needn’t squint…

With a sweater

An attention getter,

She’s as valuable as the Philadelphia Mint!

–

With a friendly “Hello,”

Most residents gladly go…

In to say “Hi!”

(As so do I),

One fabulous helper, you know!

–

In our office twice a week,

Her apparel deserves a peek…

Always stylish

I abundantly wish,

She stays here–like us she’s unique.

SHE’S A NICE LADY…!

SHE’S A NICE LADY…!

–

My friend, “Bo” has it right,

At Riddlebrook, she is salt and light…

Takes time to listen

When eyes glisten,

Joanne is we residents’ delight!

SHE MISSES HIM…!

SHE MISSES HIM…!

–

He passed by Joanne today,

Said HI, in the usual way…

She said whistfully

She missed him to see,

It made it a less pleasant day!

–

He’d normally come down to write,

But he had some sickness to fight…

A quick HI!–BYE!

Then he had to fly,

With traffic his schedule was tight.

–

It pleased him to think he was missed,

Though he still voiced denial of this…

Since long ago

He’s struggled to know

He has value–as others witness!

–

But he likes it when she is there,

Her pleasant nature–what she wears…

Sometimes there’s no way

He can come down to “play”,

In that case it’s a life that he bears.

Janet and I were talking,

While Joanne was walking

Out to see

Little Gracie,

While I did the usual gawking.

–

“Joanne,” said Janet kindly,

“Your suit looks wonderfully…

“Matched in all parts

Your clothing arts,

You’re always a joy to see.”

–

I easily agreed too,

Joanne know what to do…

Fashion embodiment

By separates’ statement

Of talent with green and blue!

–

Things independently

Bought are artfully…

Brought together

A visual treasure,

Pleasing to all who see!  🙂

JOANNE: A WORTHY ODE

JOANNE:  A WORTHY ODE

It may sound rather semantic

But this ode won’t be romantic…

Came in to cover

She’s won us over,

Making our lives less frantic.

–

It took a while for me to warm,

So many have gone through well-worn…

Turnover is fine

But, bottom line,

Stability is the preferred norm.

–

Joanne was useful from the first,

Not just ornamental but versed…

In matters found

Competent and sound,

Far, oh far from the worst!

–

Now that we know her better,

If athletic, she would “letter…”

Attractive and rare

Professionals who care

Like her, we can’t do any better!
