Lennie and Half Acre

Lennie was a Hen-pecked pastry baker
Who told His wife He might forsake Her.
She nagged and was grossly obese.
He wanted it to quickly cease.
Whereupon He frosted Her Half-acre.

Lindsay Laurie Date: 5/25/2015 6:46:00 PM Crikey Paul... Lennie has been initially too nice and fed her too many sugary pies by the looks of it... I suppose he'll get some peace now while she licks herself clean - Lindsay Login to Reply Paul Schneiter Date: 5/25/2015 11:08:00 PM Lindsay, your comment reminds me of a Timex watch commercial of decades past: "Timex: It takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin.'" That poor woman is going to end up with a fractured tongue. * * * Thanks for stopping by. Words from you always elicit my gratitude.

Now if I could just be the poet you are. How does that Perry Como song go? (showing my age): "It's impossible, just impossible . . . ."
