Funverse #11: An Ode to JBH

Once Jon was wand'ring aimless
Upon the paths of life.
He had no friend or comfort,
Until he Pick'd a wife!

With "JBH" he fell in love.
He courted 'hopeful-Lee'
Until he won the dating game--
Now life was filled with glee!

They tied the knot and started
A-walking hand in hand.
With "JBH" he traveled to
Grinnell, the promised land.

And now it's three kids later,
A house, a car, a cat.
She may have borne his children,
But he's the one who's fat.

(Heh heh, you know I'm kidding.
But if he's gaining weight,
We'll blame it all on "JBH"
Whose cooking's just plain great!)

Now "JBH" is spending time
With folks needing her aid,
And he's a world-wide traveler,
Promotes the soybean trade.

It's "JBH"'s birthday
We celebrate. But... but...
You ask what "JBH" means?
"Jon's Better Half" that's what!

Sept. 13, 2006, in honor my sister-in-law on her birthday. Sorry, if you're not in the family you won't get a lot of the inside jokes. :)
