Zed Ed Ned Ted and Mrs Ked

My dad is bigger than yours she said. It made me mad; I wished she was dead. Took my anger to my Uncle Ned. He started laughing, happy instead. Most serious now, sick in my head, Ran to my cousin, Goofball named Zed. He chased me off, his face spitball of red. With laughter shaking his feather bed. I decided to sit in my little she-shed. Devoured Ritz crackers ‘til I was fed. Refused to talk to my Uncle Ted. Who was spitting a story about Brother Ed. I rode off on my purple and pink Moped. Had an accident, needed bandage and a med. The nurse who helped me was named Mrs. Ked. Beautiful, she was a recent newlywed. My dad is bigger than yours she said. I was shocked for a second, but then I read A book, settled down, no longer in my head. Seeing the humor of Ed, Zed, Ned and Ted.

Caren, I love Ritz crackers, and the humor that accompanied them from the She-shed. -Richard

Thank you Richard; I have a she-building, not just a mere she-shed, and I highly recommend peanut butter on Ritz Crackers! Heading for the kitchen now. Stay safe!
