In Utah's Salt Lake

When in Utah, fat Patty took note
on the surface of Salt Lake, folks float.
So she took a great jump,
but she sank like a lump,
and her splash could have capsized a boat!

G'day Andrea ... even salt water won't keep the likes of Fat Patty afloat, in fact a tsunami can result - very good Andrea - Lindsay

Funny stuff! I am working through the end of this month 4 days a week teaching students so they can pass the CATW exam - they can't graduate unless they pass it. I have been out for a few dates with a woman I knew years ago. She writes poetry! and she is Jewish! Peace & Love Matthew Anish
