: Joe Jerome by Bill Schott



Gentle giant Joe Jerome

seldom ever left his home

a little shack called Honeycomb

just outside the ville


Joe was born a burly boy

filled his mama's life with joy

treated her like Myrna Loy

though she was ment'ly ill


First time Joe left Honeycomb

his mama choked on bubbly foam

died because of a misnom-

that Alka-Seltzer was a pill


So Joe now swears to never leave

he stays at Honeycomb to grieve

and beg his mama, "Pweez (sniff) bweev"

but she never will
