Aftertaste

Thanks Mum, that meal was a nice tasty dish But no one will say if my breath smells of fish I ask them but no-one will tell me the truth Not even the seagull that’s sat on the roof It’s only you, Mum, that I can rely on. Son, she said grinning, you’re a sea lion

Hi Tom... started out as a walrus, that wasn’t gonna work. So I waved my magic wand and the walrus became a sea lion. Enjoy your weekend too, Tom. Terry
