In the deepest jungles of Somerset Where the cider apples grow I met my fate by an old farm gate In the arms Chiswick Flo ~ Fetchingly clad in dungarees Sucking an old cheroot Cracking walnuts between her pretty toes Oh my! She did look cute ~ She was a big girl, a bonny girl With a kiss that made my toenails curl A hug that took my breath away And fractured seven vertebrae ~ She pulled me to her bosom God! I nearly disappeared Not only couldn’t I bloody see I couldn’t even hear ~ But keep your skinny plastic dolls Dressed in lace and folderol’s Big is very beautiful and bigger even more Now to bed, she’s calling me A call I daren’t ignore * Note: Chiswick is pronounced Chis-ick * I was stopped in London by three American girls who asked “Do you speak English?” “Er-yes, I think we invented it” |

No shortage of good humor here at the 'Open Forum' this morning. First Jerry and his "boner" and now you with "Cheswick Flo". You're a great talent no matter which way you swing your pen Cari. More feelings and fewer words please |

Hah! I think I needed this poem this morning, thank you for posting it, Cari. I started smiling at the first stanza and by the time I had finished it I was laughing aloud, as my little mutt gave me some funny looks . . . ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Thanks guys, just a fun piece and if it’s got a few smiles and laughs it’s achieved its purpose. If my wife thought for a moment that Chiswick Flo resembled her in any way, I would be packing my bags and rightly so. Glad you enjoyed. Cari. |
