It Raised a Smile

Ironic Remark This morning in the surgery, a magazine perusing, I heard this passing comment which I hope you’ll find amusing.

The drawing book no longer held a source of inspiration, But Mother’s bare arm certainly deserved investigation. The pen was poised but Mother shouted much to his chagrin: ‘You’ll be in trouble son if you get ink upon my skin!’ Which tickled me for mother’s arm, I swear that this is true Was boldly decorated with a full forearm tattoo!
