Jenny The Ho

 

 

 

“Jenny The Ho”

 

I’m ready for bed, she heard what I said.

My prayers are often answered!

 

With luck on my side, she continues to hide

her feelings were decided.

 

She took a chance, at the high school dance.

The guys were in a row.

 

Later on that night, they started to fight.

Her name was, Jenny the ho!

When you set sight on a

When you set sight on a jingle to write

like this one that calls Jenny a "ho."


from whence comes the urge that kickstarts the surge

that makes the words gather and go?


Or is ir a Muse, shod in sensible shoes

that brings your lines to gnition?


Does the "quiet and calm"* provide a smooth balm

that blossoms into fruition?


[* from the title of Wallace Stevens' poem, "The House Was Quiet And The World Was Calm"]

Jenny The Ho

 

"The Process"

 

I watch Cable TV and get a line or two to work with.

I'm ready for bed was the line I picked up off a commerical.

Had to write a line that rhymes with bed "said" in it.


My prayers are often answered, I just had to throw that line in there.

I gave Jenny feelings for her to make a decision on a guy.

Everybody in High School has a ho, so I threw that into the mix.


Jenny has to practice beening a ho at the school function for the story to work.

So Jenny had to start a fight.

The narrator walks away with jenny for life.


End of  story of Jenny.
