Russian Cowboys Rule

A Silly Sonnet

By Izzy Sommers

When Busy Izzy, Philly Jilly had

A fight with Jumpin Jacob, Mary Mare,

Sophisticated Sophie and Pierre,

The world was young enough to tolerate

The waiting at Saint Peter’s Gate before

The book investigating history

Contrived to write a festive melody

Concerning Jumpin Jacob and his Bee

Who danced with Mary Mare and Reverie

Atop the chicken barn where Jesus lived

Surprising those who sinned and said, “I am

A Russian Cowboy and I rule the land!”

Suffice to say, in Mandalay, an ass

Is worthy of the Bible’s First in Class.

THE END
