Mrs Know-It-All has joined our ladies group I watch her lips droop When she’s slurping soup Joyce claims she won a trophy on Mastermind (That big black chair you’ll find, won’t fit her big behind!) She drones on and on in her vexatious voice We don’t have a choice listening to Joyce Mrs Know-It-All has joined our ladies group our group she can’t dupe - she’s a nincompoop! Inspired by Nina’s contest but with an extra line added in each stanza ... Note to self to re read the rules! 10/31/18

A nincompoop, eh? This is just SO hilarious, Jan... Maybe you can send her over to my 'Men's Group.' We sit around and sling the pus at nincompoops. Ha, ha. Just love your humor, my friend. :) gw

Oh how many times I have done that...not been an obnoxious know it all(though I am sure some would disagree) but wrote for a contest and then read the rules to find out I did it all wrong. Oh well, at least in this case we got a fantastic poem to read ...this was fun Jan.

I got the idea, leapt out of bed to write it and was delighted with the result... and then thought oh dear I've screwed up with the number of lines :-( Won't be the last time I make a mistake but I got a fun poem out of it:-) hugs Jan xx
