Chin-Up

There once was a nanny,* lived in New Guinea
She's spot her billy, O would she whinny
   She'd kick up her feet
   And then she would bleat
She'd curl the hair on his chin-chin-chinny


*A nanny is a female goat

She broke her chain to go to Billy, and do you think Billy was happy when I tried to retrieve her - thank you Gershon - Lindsay Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 8/14/2019 12:44:00 PM Thanks for the funny goat anecdote, Linsay! :) gw
