Pretty Lady

This is an ode to my aunt Vernette
the greatest aunt that you could get
she knows how to dance,
she knows how to cook
and she gets the guys with just one look
   she was raised in the woods
by an old mama lion
ain't nobody gonna make her
walk the line
  If you ask for help,she can
Git "er Done
whatever you need you know she's
the one
she can bite the head off a rattlesnake
and make Chuck Norris start to shake
  Vernette don't  have to bait her hook
she can lure 'em in with just one look
the children call her the angel of the mail
'cause she sends them goodies without fail
  "Happy Mail" comes for all ages
even those who earn their wages
she don't go for drinking much
but she loves frogs and toads and such
  She's a Florida cracker who moved away
but in my heart she'll always stay
she's the "pretty Lady" who's always there
with poetry and love to share.
