Merry Time Ii

Bertha Saylor just loved fish and chips
And they all settled down on her hips
Her buttocks would groan
When she weighed ten stone*
But the seamen could all come to grips


*ten stone = US 140 lbs

Yo, Rico, this is hilarious! At first I thought you were writing about my paternal grandmother whose maiden name was Bertha Seiler. Some men seem to enjoy gripping the hippy. Hugs, carolyn

As soupers love to write about love, have you sponsored a "Love Handles" contest, yet? Aloha! Rico
