Thanks to all our resident poets:

1
Emma Woodhouse was clever and rich,
Making matches was not her best niche.
She was horrified to find
Harriet made up her mind
Mr. Knightley was hers – back off witch!

2
Miss Woodhouse's outlook was snubby,
Her Dixon conjecture was grubby,
But this was all fuelling
Reflections most gruelling,
And now she deserves a nice hubby.

3
What Miss Woodhouse so firmly had said
Was her wish not to want to be wed
But along came Knightley
Who proposed so rightly
And reversed her fool notion instead

4
She deemed herself qualified to matchmake
She convinced young Harriet to partake
of her choice of men,
failed once, then again
So successful at making a mistake

5
Queenbee of Highbury has got Mr. Knightley
Without attempts at matchmaking, thankfully
She thought she had lost him
Had a future so grim
Till he proposed and she said yes so gladly
