Reply To Aunt Mabel's Annual Spring Letter
My Dear Aunt Mabel, I am responding to your Annual Spring Letter
And hope you are recovering from the bloat, and feeling much better,
I wanted you to know that, with the cold, I am wearing the sweater
Since it came from England, I feel like I’m an international jet-setter!
I sliced my finger on the juicer, so now, to the doctor I am a debtor,
I am hoping that misfortune won’t cause my finger to develop a tetter
Be sure to tell me if Aunt Fay’s son, Sid, is still locked in the fetter.
Is Aunt Lula Fay’s gay nephew, well …, uh, I hear he’s a real go-getter.
Is it true, what I hear, that he works for the space program as a vettor?
Aunt Mabel, thinking it would be good if you adopted an Irish Setter….
This spring, it seems to me, is much colder and most definitely wetter.
Well, I must close. It’s late. Looking forward to your next letter.
P.S. I bought a new Bissell! A friend asks if you can teach him to whistle!
