Mister Johns was pretty fat for his height He snarfed every piece of choc'late in sight His wife the candy was hid You know what Mr. Johns did? He went out trick-or-treating like a kid

G'day Gershon … there's always a way to get around any problem. Johnny surely spoke of home cruelty to gain sympathy with chocolate - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

This is great Gershon. I can just picture this so vividly!! You've created a great story in just five short lines. This is really good Sir, a FAVE. Ron :)

Are you sure this is really "a friend" and not really you... Gershon. Tell the truth now... LOL

Well, truth is that I'm not really fat for my height... I 'm just rather short for my weight. Heh, heh. Moreover, I've never heard of 'John Brown,' have you?! LOL. Thanks, Line. Smiles, Gershon
