Augustine the Lima Bean

 I haven't posted a poem in a long time. So here is a random one I wrote some time ago.


Augustine the Lima Bean
By Melody Beerbower, October 15, 2011

Once there was a lima bean,
Riding in a limousine,
Wearing a fine suit of green
Reading a Time Magazine   

This bean’s name was Augustine
The reason for his traveling
Was to call on a jellybean
His sweetheart named miss Magdalene   

He wished to drive submarine
To do all of his adventuring
But he couldn’t get that machine
Because his wallet was far  to lean

The car drove through a vast ravine
And there ran out of gasoline
Stuck somewhere in the town of Aberdeen
When he heard the howl of a wolverine.

How does he get out of the ravine?
Does he get eaten by the Wolverine?
Will he get to marry Magdalene?
Well, I’ll leave that up to your imagining
