Boneless Betty, from THE WOMAN WHO COULD EAT WOOD

Boneless Betty


Every day Boneless Betty wished she could help her baker family. But she could hardly move in bed!
If she stood up, her nerves, blood flow, lungs, organs, 
would get blocked, squeezed, and she’d die in bed!

One day, 
after being spoon-fed, 
she and her family decided to 
carefully stack on her their loaves of bread.

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
