Bella Stander Slander
Through green fields she used to wander,
Thinking life could get no grander.
Fate smacked her with a big left-hander.
Here lie the bones of Bella Stander.
Don’t freak, now, they’re still inside 'er!
Though her exploits as a rider,
Have caused comments snide and snider,
To be made. Oh woe betide her!
Out on horseback she was bumming,
In the distance, a guitar strumming.
Bella zoned out, softly humming,
Little knowing what was coming.
The horse, a faithful childhood friend--
Who knew what he did intend?
Into the fencepost did he send,
Bella Stander to meet her end!
Bella Stander, desolate,
Lay in the trail, not feeling great.
The horse loomed over and muttered, “Wait,
“Boss said t' tell ya—your payment’s LATE.”
So our poor Bella sits alony,
Waiting for plating to fuse her bony.
Friends, never deal with Don Cannelloni,
The loan-sharking Mafia Shetland pony!

56 posts of bad poetry? What, you got too many readers? If this goes on much longer I know you won't be on my feedreader.
Hilarious! The best one yet!
Love this one!
APPLAUSE!! This was marvelous.
Graham - may all your bones break simultaneously and no one care.
My fave.
"Loan-sharking Mafia Shetland pony" to rhyme with "bony"
Genius!
(and echoes of EAP ta boot!)
Oh my goodness I loved this one. I laughed so hard I cried. I hope Bella gets as big a charge out of it.
Lynn, I think Graham's funnybone is *already* broken. Pity him for the sad, humour disabled man that he his.
This was pretty well written for the spur of the moment contest. I like the creativity on this one and the Mafia pony is just great. I'm laughing so hard.
I love this one!
My vote.
This one gets my vote--probably because of my Italian blood.
I vote for this one. Fabulous!

This was mine, and I just want to thank you all for the kind words! (Except Commentator #1, of course. Tact would have been to say "55 posts of bad poetry and this one." :p )
