The BOOB Girls' New Years Resolutions


The BOOB Girls’ New Year Resolutions: Created over coffee at Table 12
We Hereby Resolve:
Robbie Leary hereby resolves to never drink too much.
Since Robbie Leary doesn’t drink at all, that’s a clever touch.

Marge Aaron resolves to never let dark chocolate get away
And big Marge plans to eat some every single day.

Hadley Joy Morris-Whitfield, with the very long name
Has solemnly resolved to avoid all jokes that are lame
(there’s one that won’t last!
It will go down really fast.)

Mary Rose McGill, of whom Wiley Vondra is fond
Has resolved to keep her hair, “Sunshine City Blonde.”

And Wiley himself? That hip cowboy wannabe?
Resolves to get bifocals – mainly so he can see.

There’s Alphonso Greatwood, with a scooter he painted green
He resolves not to run over anyone with his Mean Machine

And as for Joy Johnson, our author, still very much alive
Joy resolves to finish The BOOB Girls, Book Five

BOOB Girls V will feature the evil, mean Bushes
A family who should be pushed onto their tushes.

There’s Thorny and Huckleberry  Bush, brothers to fear
And Lilac and Rose, who bring us no cheer.

The Bushes, along with the cute Hosemoffs
Will make book V filled with laughter and coughs.

Hiccups and burps will come along, too
Because they’ll be bringing more laughter to you.

BOOB Girls V: The Mystery of the Red Cane should be out in May.
As far as I can tell, unless I’m hit with some kind of creative storm, this will be the last book in the series. What I’d like from all of you is some consultation.

I’m thinking of a Burned Out Old Broads Boutique which will feature shirts, bracelets, a BOOB Girls Calendar (remember Calendar Girls), greeting cards and a boxed set of the books. My question: what do you think? It’s a sizeable investment, so I’m testing the waters to see if you think it will work. Email me at joy.johnson@msn.com and give me your thoughts? Would you shop there and is there anything else you’d like to see offered there?
