Disabled

Once lived an old woman from Kalamazoo She had been an animal trainer at the zoo A tiger bit off her thumb, She admitted it was dumb But, with her left thumb gone, what else could she do? written January 25, 2022

I certainly don't think it was my funniest either, Mystic Rose Rose. In fact, it probably wasn't even worth sharing.

Lol, she was one lucky lady just losing a thumb. Tom

I'd say, Tom. He could have taken her whole hand. I think an employee at a zoo lost a hand for trying to pet a lion or something, so there is a grain of truth in this.

Oh, man! Another Kalamazoo story! We used to live in Michigan and I loved the name Kalamazoo. Curious I do not think I have ever used it. I have to now!

It's such a wonderful name. Hey, write one about a woman from Kalamazoo who played a mean kazoo! That would be perfect! I'll be waiting for it!
