Myrtle's Big Hurdle

There once was a proud lady named Myrtle
To overcome a very big hurdle --
   She inhaled very hard
   Sucked up all her lard --
Then squeezed into her wedding-day's girdle

Caren Krutsinger Date: 7/27/2019 4:11:00 AM I have to admit "sucked up her lard" is what it feels like, and it is so UNCOMFORTABLE. We used to wear them in the 70's. I truly hope most women burned their girdles with their bras. Thanks for the reminder of EXACTLY what it was.

Alexis Y. Date: 7/25/2019 12:21:00 PM Lol! Gershon, This is really funny. I could just picture the whole scene. Well done. Have a great day:-) Alexis Login to Reply

Tom Cunningham Date: 7/25/2019 12:20:00 PM Haha that was some feat Gershon, wish I could do that. Tom Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 7/25/2019 1:05:00 PM Two big reasons that you can't do this, Tom: One is that you probably didn't wear a girdle on your wedding day; the second is that you're nowhere near as big as Myrtle. LOL. ~ gw
