A DRABBLE FOR MARLENE'S BIRTHDAY by Vicki L. Nelson
"Roses are red,
Grass is green,
Sugar is sweet,
And so is Marlene!"
"Really, Johnny? That's the best you can do?
"What's wrong with it, Scott? I worked on my love poem for Marlene's birthday nearly a week now!"
"Well, little brother...it's kind of...um...lame."
"Marlene'll love it!"
"She'd love anything you gave her so that's not saying anything!"
"I also got roses and fancy chocolates for her plus another special s'prise!"
"Johnny, if you still plan to show up at Marlene's doorstep wearing only a big red bow, better see if Teresa's got some smelling salts to bring with you!"
