Wrung Out

Hortense was an Opera singer,
Who thought she was a humdinger.
Every breath that she took,
Screamed like a strangulated chook,
The audience put Hortense through the wringer.

Thought you might like this one Caren. Every time I get a picture in my mind of the strangulated singing chook (or trying to sing) it makes me laugh.

Smiling as I type this. Thank you for your supportive kind comments... I think we may share the same sense of the ridiculous...
