There was an incident, A mystery in the night, And vainly I babbled, Tried to describe the unnatural, The pieces of the thing As I had seen it. The other six stood silently, Never offered to explain Their points of view. Only now I see, They're not blind like I am. They knew it was an elephant All along. -jenn

God sent you an angel To carry your load, Take it completely from you, To allow you to walk in peace and leisure. But you were afraid of the angel, Declined the help, And I was even wearing a white hat. -jenn

It was about to rain, But a train came And caused a Doppler wind to blow The gray skies back to blue. The clouds hitched a ride to the moon, And so I think if we want it to rain again, We'll have to ban trains. -jenn

I polluted my pure pecan pie With chocolate chips. I did. I confess. It was a delicious mess. So I had another. Sometimes it's a good thing For one's pie to be in the sky. It's much harder to eat it that way. But I am a greedy corporation. And nothing shall be impossible for me. And I find the pie on the loftiest branch to be the best. And so I'll find a way to climb the Tree of Life And test such pies, And pollute them if I wish, And put them on a painted dish, And slither down And offer it to you. And...what you gonna do? - jenn

I still think of you At night When I'm all alone And cold And want to be warm And whole And want you to hold me And when I close my eyes I see That you are you and I Am me And we Are really the same person That's why We communicate Without words And fly Without feathers And I thought you were too good For me And you had the same Insecurity But we Are really the very same person

The bird didn't feel any need to fly, For it could hop faster than I Could run, and so it fled me on it's feet. But I had to eat. And so I found another gear, A hunger that was fed by fear, Got close enough to salt it's tail And found the the old wives' tale was true. I caught that bird that didn't think That I was worth escaping from, But lucky for him, I was willing to share the crumb That he'd found earlier that day. And so we dined there Together, toasting day and night. His beady eye regarded me And mine him as we Locked elbows and drank To health and wealth and many future crumbs. -jenn

You keep my chin up,
Even though my cheek bones sag,
My saddles bag,
My crows get feet,
And my double chins beat.
My muffin tops.
My belly flops.
But I saunter like a queen,
Cause you're the best I've ever seen
At making me feel beautiful.

My knees knock.
A kid told me my socks
Were wrinkled,
But I wasn't wearing any.
I won't mention my granny pannies,
But I'll just say
That any day with you,
Is better than any regal review
Or nip and tuck,
Or....
Well I'll just suffice to say,
Thanks for loving me anyway,
Warts and all.
