what’s my sign what a fool ‘kick my behind’ they thought me a tool scalped by the scalpel forsooth the sore truth the eyesore galoot the prophecy foretold as they pinned the tail-on-the-donkey hee haw the jokes on them as i was peeved they were pie’d this fool ain’t no fool fee-fi-fo-fum i one-upped ‘em as Edith Ann* rocks in her rocker with a raspberry roast “…and that’s the truth”* 6/6/2023

She came to mind as I was writing this! Me and my mom saw Lily Tomlin on stage a few years back. Thank you, Sam! Hugs ~ Kim
