Shrinkage

Poor Adam in Eden’s first winter
Would run home but Eve was no sprinter
They walked in the nude
Eve said, which was rude
‘Oh, that’s a strange place for a splinter’

Teehee...Eve was not very tactful, was she? Quite a cute limerick Terry! Linda

G’day Terry … very witty indeed Terry. Cold weather has an affect on a woman’s eyes I’d say - thanks Terry - Lindsay

Thanks, Lindsay. You may find this amusing... my wife struggles with small print, so, because she likes to read before going to sleep... she keeps a bloody great magnifying glass by the bed. I often wonder what a burglar would think. Happy new year, Lindsay. Terry
