Don’t Let Jim Know

Poetry

By Chloe GilholyPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Oh my good friend Jim.

He lived in a boat by

the Hampton Roads.

The best fisherman I ever knew,

but a very bad cop.

Hush! Don’t let Jim know.

And his sweet wife Caroline

Matriarch of the farm!

A royal treat beneath the sheets.

She brightens up my day.

Hush! Don’t let Jim know.

There goes little brown betty

with her mouth in grass

and her tail in the sky.

The cow’s all grown up.

She’s running to the mountains.

Hush! Don’t let Jim know.

Jim’s kids are at the shack.

Homework nearly finished.

When they’re done

I’ll swim with them at the lake.

Hush! Don’t let Jim know.

One night I was playing poker

I was sipping some Bud

Jim kicks the door waving cuffs.

You have the right to remain silent…

Gosh! What does Jim know?
