BABY SHOWER

By Joan Wilson

A baby shower for a new mom to be

Very useful presents for all to see

Baby oil and powder to keep the skin so sweet

Bibs and napkins and nice crib sheets

Are but a few of the gifts that will be given

To this beautiful baby – your gift from heaven.

And when you give birth to this bundle of joy
It’ll make no difference if it’s a girl or boy.
Just so it’s O.K. and you’re feeling fine
You can relax and sleep ‘til it’s feeding time.

“AVON CALLING”

By Joan Wilson

“Avon calling,” says the lady

As she knocked upon the door

“Avon calling,” I repeated

As I moved across the floor.

A pretty lady entered

Wearing quite a happy smile

And dressed so neat and tidy

So like the Avon style.

An Avon bag she carried

With orders big and small

Each order had a name attached

Which I was asked to call.

As the ladies took their orders

We nearly all took flight

For a great big spider jumped out the bag

And gave us all a fright.

Was this the Avon spider?

I really have my doubts

For when he ran across my desk

You could've heard my shouts.

For Avon doesn't sell creepy crawly things

But very nice jewelery like bracelets and rings

They even sell stuffed teddy bears and tiny ornaments

Finger nail polish and quite a variety of scents.

So where in the world was this spider trying to get? Did he ever dream that he'd live to regret,
Chancing a trip in the Avon lady's bag?
That long leg spider sure ran into a snag.
