She's a Chocoholic

Posh candy - Annie is no Scrooge
Her chocolates are flown in from Bruges
She got wedged in her chair
I believe she’s still there
No wonder, her fanny’s so huge!

Bruges is very famous for making amazing chocolates 
when we lived in the UK we went on several coach journeys there!

Bruges is one syllable when its pronounced it sounds like Brooj
