Connecting With Jeannie

Funny Stories Told at our Family Get Togethers

There once was a woman named Arden,
Who had a nightmare of a break-in,
She got scared and kicked out in defense
At her husband who didn’t move an inch
Sending her to the floor on her assets.

A woodpecker came to cause a stir,
By drilling holes in her Gazebo!
With a broom, she convinced him to go,
Pileated looked down his long beak,
Crapped, then flew away with a loud screech.

Once she put her finger in the fish tank,
Where a betta fish was swimming by,
Thought it was food, he bit her point-blank,
She drew her hand back in fright, the fish
flew across the room with a cry,
Right where her cat was playing - "Sigh."
