JENNIFER AND JOHN

John and Jennifer

A Single Sentence
Silly Sonnet
By Izzy Sommers

Surrounding all the mystery of John’s
Untimely death, was Jennifer’s perfume
And Sam’s suspicion that she re-arranged
The totals in the books that John had kept
For Jennifer’s nefarious Nepal
Negotiations for a shipment of
Her bleating, redneck hawk and turtle dove
Which reached America on just the day
That independence was declared amid
The shouts of ballot aberrations and
The final push for land in Timbuktu,
In Kangaroo, in Xanadu, and, too,
Along the coast of Africa where John
Had found a silly friend to lean upon.
