The Fat Acrobat

Ann was an aging acrobat
That is until she became too fat
To sit on a flying trapeze
Cavort or leap with any ease
When the tightrope began to bend
Ann's acrobatics came to an end

Thank you I am so pleased it made you both smile. Nothing wrong with being rotund ( more to cuddle ) Maybe we could sit on an elephant and wave graciously to a crowd of clapping people... Keep well and safe ..Shirley
