Bertha

Bertha

Bertha who had a cute little nose
one day at the beach took off her clothes.
Her mother said “Bertha!
“get dressed or I’ll hurt ya.”
Bertha just five, could care less what showed.

Hi Kathy - We had a Bertha in our family, too. A cousin of my grandmother's. Wonder what she did when she was five? The twist at the end of your poem is fantastic! - Gail
