Hello to all!
I'd like to introduce myself. Formerly known as Mrs. Bob Smith, I'd rather be called Mary.

It gives me grate pleasure to say that I have been married to my husband,who was the sin of Robert and Carol Smith,for twenty years.

Bob is the bestial man I know,
and brave too, he was a gorilla in the marines.
But he has terrible acme,it covers his hole body.

And so he was soaking in a zitz-bath yesterday,
when I found him, limp and unconscientious,
his color was so bad, I thought he might be dyeing.

The radio was perched too close to the tub.
He could have been elected!

I rushed him to the hospital and the wading room was filled with thongs of sick people who just couldn’t wait any longer.

But Bob needed to be seen immediately.
He couldn’t wait until mourning.

When the doctor came in, he looked at Bob and stroked his chin. He couldn’t decide whether it was sick as hell anemia or flumonia,
but he was sure it was one or another.

I felt kind of sorry for the doctor,I guess you need a lot of patients to do a job like his.

He listened carefully to Bob’s heart, and lungs, and said they sounded extra ordinary.  And when he checked his ears he said there was nothing there either and we might as well go home.

It was such a relief to know that Bob wasn’t as affected by his dis-ease as I had first imagined!
