Hmmmm -

I am rather confused...
My wife’s belly is bulging
and it continues to bulge
more and more each day
Granted, I am NOT a doctor
(although I portrayed one on TV)
Thus I offered my diagnosis:
“Dear, I think it is merely a case of gas"
to which she replied 'Kiss my ass!'
At that point, I suspected the worse
She was hallucinating! To my knowledge 
she does not own any member of Equidae
Could the gas, having nowhere else to go
penetrated her skull and invaded her brain?
I was convinced that my diagnosis was correct
and this illness had accumulated for quite a while
Her 'private parts’ were quite sensitive and sore
and she refused to have 'relations’ for 22 months
Light bulb! It’s Elephantiasis....

Yo, Tim! What's up with this gas? If I were the wife in this poem I'd be telling him to kiss my ass too. Gee, I didn't know you portrayed a doctor on TV. Which show? "Survivor?" Cute write and I also enjoyed your new poem on Whispers. Best wishes, Carolyn

Carolyn - I hate to burst your bubble (ooops. there I go AGAIN) but I find your comment rather offensive, VERY obscene and hilarious...
