The Fritzes

Unstylish twin brothers, the Fritzes were gluing on crackers (in bitses)! Were they nuts in the head? When we asked them, they said, “We’re just trying to put on the Ritzes!” Written in Sept. 2015 Inspired by Judy Kono's Puttin' on the Ritz Poetry Contest For Brian Strand's All Yours (May 25) Poetry Contest
