Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Funny Pages Wedding

Li'l Abner and Daisy Mae,

He was a hunk by her pursued

In hometown Dogpatch, U.S.A.

Young'uns caught in a fam'ly feud,

The Hokums and Scraggs 'twixt and 'tween,

Which ends in 1952.

Life Magazine cover page scene,

Both of the young'uns say, "I do."

The wedding ceremony came

By comic strip readers' demand.

But one who thought this was a shame,

Al Capp, creator of the brand.

Capp continued their married life,

And the work was done by the wife.
