Joe Gargery: The Simple Life

She is tough and mean, she's bad to the bone;

Her name's Mrs. Joe, she lives in my home.

People may say she's horrid, and not very pretty;

But I say she's lovely, and really quite witty.

My brother Pip to his sister, is a big trouble maker;

Pip dislikes his sister, butI won't ever let him hate her.

Mrs. Joe gives us tar-water, and uses the tickler;

She enforces the rules, and she is really a stickler.

I am J-O Joe, yes that is my name,

A blacksmith is is my trade, my claim to fame.

I try to do my best, and try very hard;

To please my dear mother, who's in the graveyard.

My dad hit us, and beat us, and acted real tough;

But I know he was good, it just never showed up.

My life might seem bad, but i'm glad that it's mine;

It has served me well, and it suits me just fine.

The End!!!!!!!!!!!!
