Huge Jarse

My step sister her name is Annie has got the most gigantic fanny When she plonked on a chair She was quite unaware she’d sat upon our little granny Our poor granny was almost squashed flat She screeched ‘Annie you’re so blinking fat’ I’ve just seen a new diet I think you should try it As next time you’ll kill our pussycat Huge Jarse is an alias singer George Michael used to use when he checked into hotels. If you don't like the limericks then sit back, relax and enjoy the music! 10/4/18

Poor Granny indeed. LOL, a great limerick, with a great reference. Never would have connected the alias to GM.

Lol! Jan, I sure did miss your humor. You are one funny lady. I enjoyed the limerick and the song. I loved Wham back in the day and I had know clue this was George Michael's alias , the alias alone was freaking hilarious:-) Alexis

Hilarious, my friend . I had no clue this would have been George Michael's alias!! I saw him perform in concert in the 80's in CA when he was so popular. I adored the song Careless Whispers.

Oh my gosh Jan … do you not know what a 'fanny' is when uttered in Australia. It makes your limerick even more humorous - ta - Lindsay

Good humorous write as well as a little trivial information I did not previously know about the late, great singer.

He was an awesome entertainer he died at Christmas in 2016. He passed away far too young :-( hugs Jan xx

Possibly the most merciful way to flatten a cat . . . . . We need to find some way to alert readers to whether the subject is a British or American fanny . . . Aloha! Rico
