Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

She Hemmed and She Hawed

Jack's wife went and burnt his favorite stew
He came home, kissed her, said: "Honey, what's new?"
   Poor Jane hemmed and she hawed
   Then husband Jack guffawed
Asked: "So what is it that smells like a shoe?"

David Mchattie November 1, 2020 at 3:48 PM My wife has near 'goat' like abilities to eat anything. Flavor to her is totally unnecessary. We suffer on. Cute poem my friend. Have a great day.
