HALLO WEENIE!
Police say a woman named Gidget
Took a fancy to a man's digit
She knew it would grow
But you ought to know
His digit now hangs on a midget!
Added by Belle Bellevue:
The midget was proud of his digit
He wondered just how Gidget did it
It hung to his knees
And swung in the breeze
Witch Gidget was wetting her britches
A fidget of a widget, is fidgeting again
A feisty little midget, is what she’s always been
Her given name is Gidget, a girl with a giggle
The very same as Bridget, a whirl in a wiggle
If Gidget is a fidget of a widget with a growl
And Bridget is a twidget with a midget for a pal
Then what about the gadabout who never seems to fit
The stupid lout you're mad about for acting like a twit
He probably is more like me than what I care to comb
For suddenly there seems to be no hair upon my dome
If I should chance by happenstance to catch a beam of sun
Then you may see a brand new me is medium well-done
The ones you pet will not forget the way that you are kind
They will not let the fun you get betray your peace of mind
If you will test your very best by what you say to Bridget
Then you will crest above the rest who pray to play with Gidget.
We are the generation,
born between 1946-1964,
grew up watching shows
like Howdy Doody and
Captain Kangaroo,
Leave it to Beaver,
Hazel, Father Knows Best
and Gidget,
too many to mention but
I'm sure there all there
on the internet,
grew up listening to rock n roll,
doing the mashed potato
and the Chubby Checker twist,
a lot of boomers fighting in the
Vietnam War and consequently
losing their innocence,
we also saw the JFK assassination
and watched the Watergate hearings
on our televisions,
saw the Kent State shootings
and anti-war demonstrations...
now if your like me wondering
about all these police shootings
terror attacks and social unrest,
a lot of us turning 70 this year
and wondering whats going
to happen next,
yes were the babyboomers
who grew up watching a lot
of television...
I'm just wondering if watching
too much of it took away our true vision
and wisdom, because I myself am
guilty as well...
There was an old virgin named Gidgett.
Always thinking of sex made her fidget.
Tho never deflowered;
no need of cold showers.
Satisfaction came via her digits!!
I finally get the bawdy thing!.. :-)
