Standup Hugs

Standing there Arms outstretched The haggard pasty washed up Kewpie doll Of a soon to be ex Awaited his oxytocin fix As the dutiful wench Swallowed the stench Of his distillery fermented fat She thought This puts the retch in wretched And that was that A good sense of humour Is only embraced so far 5.31.2020

A good sense of humour is something we need in the world we live in. I am glad I know you as someone with an abundance of the same through your words full of wit, light humour and spot on at a few times. Keep up the spirit! Love and hugs :)
