MELZERBEANS!!!!

Now ring the bells and blow the trumpets! Let
Confetti fly and faces ache from smiles!
We weren't there to see it all, and yet
We feel the joy e'en 'crossed a thousand miles.
J.J. has added yet another "J,"
And Jenny now has more at home than beans.
Squeenager has another dad; I'd say
A spare of those is good to have: it means
There's more love for to go around. A toast:
The Melzerbeans! I wish you lots of fun,
Success and scribbling, and, what I wish most:
Your marriage be a long and happy one.
i love you all and, yes, there are some tears
As I tap in this sonnet. Darlings, cheers!

In Which An Engagement Is Announced That Shows All Is Right With The World - Or That The Zombie Apocalypse Is Imminent - Or Both

My friend, James Melzer, cried out "Hey there, BEAAAAANNNNS,

How 'bout we climb up in that Zombie Tree

And fight off walking death from there. I means

For good. And between battles, why don't we

Make sweet love by the fire?" "Oh, well, of COURSE!"

Quoth our Jennifer Hudock. Hold the phone --

Did Melzer just sprout antlers by main force

Of Beanses' strange imagination? Own

It James, you are her hero and I'll say

The antlers suit you well, and as does that hue

Of green she's got you wearing. Shout "hooray"

My readers, at the wondrous schemes these two

Concoct both for themselves and all of us.

I'll say this news is worth making a fuss!
