What are ploits and why do they have so many exs
Shouting claim overtly loud
Shall I ex……………………..pand
It’s plain
That Squelchy ex
Tend to give hugs
This one ex is cruciating
Clever when I am pert
Trod when I meant to Trude
Breathing with my exs sighs
Begone fish and old friend
Perfect act ex
……………….it
You were a very bright star in post-war Germany.
On both films and stage, you garnered popularity.
Most men did not consider you a raving beauty.
However, with your pleasing plumpness, you were a cutie.
What a great talent you were. You must have been proud.
You had a great singing voice that was rather loud.
One of your hit songs was one I can’t forget.
Translated into English, you sang “I Don’t Want Chocolate”.
I was sad to hear that you passed away.
Trude, I wish you were still around today.
