Lady from the Isle of man

A young lady from the Isle of man Writes limericks fresh from the pan Queen of poetry Soup She shares her poop Watching the s..t hit the fan. Your Blogs. Dear Jan, place your Blog in the fire Sit back and watch it burn. You might attract one or two snowflakes But that is of little concern. Stay calm, stay cool, say nothing Let them have their say. For in the end like all snowflakes They'll gradually just melt away.

How thoughtful of you to recognize Jan for the woman she truly is. She can write any kind of poetry, but enjoys bathroom humor, and now it's led to her writing a 2nd book. I'm sending you soup mail, John.
