A Fine Bottom Line

How's your bottom line working out?
Have you checked it's progress today?
Is it dipping and diving like the markets
Is it drooping to your utter dismay?

Some are quite big, some are small
Each one has a place in society
They all possess that irresistible charm
So there's no need for any anxiety!

Now take me for instance, I like 'em all
But someone should restrict the sound
At times it can be very destructive
Rumbling and shaking the ground!

There's not a more alluring sight
Than a bottom with a great swing and sway
It's actually quite entertaining to watch
But be careful to stay out of it's way!

How's your bottom line working out?
Are you happy with what trails behind
If you are, then you should feel quite fortunate
To be blessed with a fine bottom line!

I sent him outside to ponder it, after he tripped over my end table. Silly table had more battle scars than a bull moose, anyway! But it was Grandpa Trolls favorite, so I'll get another and paint it. I'll Tell him, it needed a new face lift. I'd hate to be the one to tell him we broke it while having fun with Dragon. Whoops! Dragon tripped again! Thankfully he's outside! Jack Ellison August 27, 2014 at 3:41 PM Drago could probably get a job with the circus doing the cha cha! XOXOX
