Her Sister Wearing The Necklace

POEM

A Beachin' Bead Tale

As I walked along the beach,
My lover hopped beyond my reach.
Perhaps a stolen kiss was greed,
That cowboy prince became a bead!

Now Bronco Frog keeps trapping flies,
My heart snagged in his net of lies.
Duckies laugh, my bell won't ding,
How can I ever wear his ring?
