A Boy Named Drew

Y'all recall Johnny Cash's hit "A Boy Named Sue" and this author was planning to write a ditty following his song lyrics but alas it was too long for this old guy so I decided upon a limerick - or a facsimile of one...

This is story of Sara and Pete
And exactly how did they meet?
Headline Cafe was work
Serving Corvallis dorks
Hungry and tired on their feet.

Alas Pete hatched a little plan
To show Sara he was a fan
Pete said: To the woods
(Hoping to get the goods)
Sara thought he went to see her tan.

Sororities were not for Sara
Pete partied like John O'Hara
The Lodge became home
A bed cover of foam
Pete kept a poster of Farrah.

OSU bestowed a real degree
Smooth talking was his pedigree
Sara became teacher
Neither a preacher
No fear of loving filigree.

Off to new home in Mountain Park
Watching sunsets late in the dark
Pete tending local bar
Sara chasing kids afar
Life and love at first a lark.

It was time to start a new tack
So they both thought, what do we lack?
A house of our own
A pet with a bone
And bounding on the scene came Jack!

Then Hansens started to have Charlie
And away went thoughts of a Harley
Now time to calculate
Review and evaluate
No more acting like Dumb Ass Farley.

Off to Jeff's wedding in Maui
So much fun, a total wowie
Sara stopped the pill
And Pete knew the drill
Now Sara gets kicked with owies.

A brand new baby boy named Drew
Johnny Cash named his one son Sue
While birth may be rough
We know he'll be tough
And loved and hugged by all it's true!


Love,
Dad
