Rich Lady

A very rich lady from Burbank,
Was in a canoe when it sank,
Her fur and diamonds got lost
In the watery impost,
As she dog-paddled her way to the bank.

Hi Kim, I guess when some people are rich, they want to flaunt it all the time. I will ask her when she finally makes it to the bank. Oh, i just thought of something really funny....... Even when rich people are half drowning they still want to go to the bank...hahahaha Kind regards----John
