Lady In Looe

I spotted a lady in Looe,
who slid as she stepped in some poo,
her nose in the air,
she sat on a chair,
and sniffed at the mess on her shoe.

'It's brown and it's squidgy,' she sighed,
'and smells like a ferret has died.'
She wiped on the seat,
and walked up the street,
still stinking, but most dignified.

Eww! She wiped it on the seat? Lord, identify this woman so we can avoid her. I can just imagine her trying to look "dignified." And I can only imagine how a dead ferret smells... Best wishes in Tania's contest, Jack! Hugs, Carolyn
