Fancy Talkers

The nurse said not to worry, It was just a little prick. Then proceeded to inject something, that exploded like a dynamite stick. I asked my husband last evening, "Does my bum look big in this?" He sighed then smiled and then denied I looked anything but pure bliss. The mechanic checked my engine. Said it was running fine. Although I did my best, it failed the test, and is no longer mine. The interview went well. They said I got the job. Then passed me over for someone else. All I could do was sob. I wish these fancy talkers would learn to tell the truth. At least, that way, no dismay. Although at the time may seem uncouth.

Skat, whenever I am placed, I always get a warm glow, because it means I must be doing something right!! So, it is always a pleasure to enter when the results are good. The blogs I am unfimiliar with. I hear bad things are said there, so I avoid them.

I no longer have a husband Tom. The following night he said my ass was humongous.

Thank you James. When my wee brother was ten, 30 years ago, he pronounced the first two lines of this poem. His words then were.."It was a million times worse than a little prick." I never forgot it.
