Fweddy Fweeman

[As the proud owner of a tiny lisp - in which my ‘R’s sometimes come out a little more like ‘W’s - I think I’m safe to post this? No offence intended.] ______________ He told her he soon would be leaving the army “So give us a kiss, cos you’re sending me barmy.” She said, “What’s your name, then I’ll give you a kiss,” “I’m Fweddy Fweeman,” he said with a lisp She gave him a kiss which filled him with glee He said, “Let us go and sit under that twee.” They sat in the shade and he said, “You’re so pwitty, I’ll be old and gway before you, more’s the pity, so would you go out with an old lisping twooper?” And she said , “I would because you’re fimply fooper.”

Thanks, Belle. It gave me a giggle when I came up with the concept, so I had to write it. Glad it amused you. Terry

Thanks, Milt. Annie loves my little lisp. I’m not even sure it counts as a lisp, more a case of not rolling my ‘R’s. I used to work in an office and my telephone extension was Six, Oh, Thwee, Thwee. Much good natured fun was had by all. Tewwy

Thanks, Elizabeth. I nearly didn’t post this, but Annie went into hysterics when I read it to her. So I thought I’d wisk it. Glad you enjoyed. Terry
