Footles X 17

Small print Eyes squint Deep snow Tread slow Strong gales Drop sails Score high Bulls eye Great whites Big bites Dark rum Warms tum Thin hair Thread bare Small tent Legs bent Wide load Hogs road Strong cheese Bees knees Flash drive Archive Clear night Stars bright Peace dove Spreads love Suns heat Dead beat Earthquakes Ground shakes Shots rang Loud bang Just wed Now bed Written 21st August 2020

Tom...I can be funny verbally, not on paper. I am fantastic in live humor but a dufus in writing it. Like, I don't like one liners. Comedians do that. I like humor when two or more go back and forth. But a Densoid on my own. Pangie...I have ride these...my results were BOO to me. Pangie xx
