    But I'd rather the knife boiled chicken feathers pluck...

My tempetuaous breath

to be published in a

and I did not cry or
laugh when my fifteenth
grandchild was born...

 441 

There are 441 calories
in 4 1/2 medium roasted broiled
or baked chicken wings

In an all-you-can-eat competition
the winning contestant
scoffed 441 wings
in half an hour 

Congrats?
Absolutely sickening!

We neighbors looked at each other.
A policeman rolled his eyes
Even his grandmother looked doubtful.
I looked at his nose for new growth
Fifteenth claim of being robbed in twelve months
His insurance refused to pay and cancelled him...

Something that I never buy is frozen sausage rolls
The only time I do is just before the Christmas hols
We stuff them in the freezer to heat up on Boxing Day
I’ve just seen them still in there on this fifteenth day of May

We were married on October fifteenth
in a beautiful century old
wooden chapel surrounded by
family and friends. Joining
us on that most special
day to celebrate
with joy, our love.
Why? Because
she said
yes
