Story 259
Jerome
Jerome was born in Nome.
"Til seven, 'twas Heaven,
But he left Alaska
For the state of Nebraska,
Then later on to Rome.
And this is where he is today
Living with his wife, sweet Kay.
Their house is a plush first-class home
With a blue tinted plexiglass dome
In which they grow plants in loam
Their car is a spiffy Jaguar –
It’s a coupe, with shining, sparkling chrome,
With which they like to roam
But their real joy is to read a tome
Containing either novel or poem
Such as this silly one, "Jerome"
