Joyce Said

She took a long look at me 
said "My legs were tight like yours
Now they're wobbly, gross fat"
never knew a 75 year old thought about that...

But thats what Joyce said.

When a car whizzed by a sign
marked 35 
As it passed
she yelled out 'Smart ass!'
and said "You'd better drive faster 
If you wanna catch her!"

In regards to her second husband
when he proposed
"I've never bedded a fat man before
but here goes..."
and he couldn't help but love her cuz
no one says it 
like Joyce said.

When she was walking 
behind me 
she said " I can tell you're hungry"
asked her how, she said "Your butt told me".

One night before I went off to my bed
she said...

"You may know thousands of people
but you should count your friends on your hands..."
I can.

I love her cuz 
that's what 
Joyce said.
