The Wife of Bath Made Me Laugh

The Wife of Bath
       She made me laugh
     Can't recall now precisely why

     It's something she stirred
       with her foot in her mouth
     and humerus in gooseberry pie

Gershon, This poem reminds me of a scene you might see in an old I LOVE LUCY show. Made me smile :)
