Una

There once was a shopkeeper called Una,
Whose bottom was getting rather lunar.
‘If fishing’s good for health,
‘I’ll reel tins from the shelf,’
She said as she caught a can of tuna.

Jack I don't think she'll get the real health benefits of fishing reeling in a can of tuna but you sure made me laugh! Good luck in John Freeman's contest. Best to you, Diane
