Quite a Handful

I bought loads of fruit with my chums
But I was all fingers and thumbs
I went all shades of red
When I dropped some and said
Hey lady, would you grab my plums?

Ilene Bauer Date: 8/24/2023 8:44:00 AM ha! very funny and perfect for the contest, terry! Login to Reply Terry Flood Date: 8/24/2023 11:16:00 AM Thanks, Ilene. I’ve gathered two wheelbarrowfuls of plums from my plum tree today. Mostly for the bonfire because every year the wasps stick their little baby wasps inside them… yuk. So for this contest… it just had to be plums!
