I Like To Knit

Must maintain my upbeatness Through all the hassles of moving Must grin and giggle with each annoyance Till things finally start improving Haven't eaten for more a week Can't find our horde of Chef Boyardee The best is their new Over Stuffed Ravioli Consumed in a minute twenty-three Considering my sexy rotund chassis My options are becoming so much less There's a conspiracy by all the food makers They want to see me in a bigger dress They don't know who they're dealing with They call me Big Jacko the Fit Kids run for cover when they see me coming But don't tell them I also like to knit © Jack Ellison 2015

"Judy I already use Clairol Nice 'n Easy and Root Touch-Up!"...My advice is that you quickly file lawsuits against ALL the companies unless you applied it to your knit yarn then all is forgiven! I can see you are as busy today as I am...
