He needed his grits

"Ask and see: Can a man bear children? Then why do I see every strong man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor, every face turned deathly pale? " NIV Jeremiah 30:6

There once was a man who loved grits
He suffered from fried chicken fits
His sweetheart more north so he had to go forth
When his stomach shrunk into the pits.

He needed his grits.

Making me down right laugh.

and she's from the south

Thanks, Bernie. I've been in Florida for three years, now (except for a couple summers) and I've learned to love grits. Put a little butter and milk on them and eat them as cream of wheat. Thanks for you comments.
