Best Wishes

My husband likes to start his day
in quite an injudicious way

He wolfs down cold coffee yogurt
topped off with frozen egg yolks 

And though he's never ever smoked
  ~ I think he'll die soon of a stroke

LOL…what bothers one will not be the same as another. Sounds like a terible mishmash of food. I don’t even like fried egg on my burger or pasta! No..no..no

Well, you two daredevils: Sometimes I write poems from my feminine side; sometimes from my masculine side. Although I do admit confusion as to which side is which. ~ Ambidextrous

Whoa! That's no joke: Picture the blood rushing to your head, your thoughts spinning around, the room getting dizzy, your breath labored. ~ From an April Fool
