A Big Sneeze

There was a young lady called Mae West
Who was famed for the size of her chest
She came down with Flu
Gave a big sneeze 'Atchoo'
And that was the end of her vest

Hi Nick..thanks for writing for my contest. I don't think u have ever entered one of mine b4. I judged the first 2 rounds. Then it was off to the ice cream parlor to read this evening. The other 2 poets and I read them out loud and the laff meter had the final say..I wanted a tie for first but lost hands down. A fabulously creative entry. The ladies were howling!! You already know the MALE judge loved this one! ha ha. Gwendolen

I always tell my wife that if she catches a chest cold it could kill her. I get smacked for it.
