LongJohn's love for animals,
Is more than just a fetish,
When you talk about it,
His face turns very reddish.

When he was a young lad,
At age of twenty two,
He had dreams most every night,
To work at Maryland's zoo.

Tigers, Lions, snakes and ants,
He loved them all the same,
His favorite was an elephant,
Matilda was her name.

Once before the zoo
Had opened for the day,
LongJohn bathed Matilda,
In his usual way.

He took all of his clothes off,
Was in his birthday suit,
Matilda looked perplexed at him,
Thought he looked very cute.

Now LongJohn was just humming,
And soon began to sing,
Then Matilda questioned LongJohn,
"Can you breathe thru that little thing?"

Well, you've outdone yourself this time. Am falling off this chair in laughter.

As ever, am so glad for your talent and sharing it with us.....

Warmly, Pat

Oh, yes! I love it! I hope the three of you guys really get going on these "biographies"!

LongJohn should have been proud that Matilda even noticed!

hahaha

(giggles in delight, making the Big Top whirl in laughter) Oh my gosh, well in Matilda's sense he seems to be a natural at this! I love it, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Toerag, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Old Long John isn't well endowed
But keeps Matilda clean and proud
She doesn't mind sharing her bath
(Since it's the only one he hath!)

ROFL... What a welcome back for the sailor! LOL And how kind of you to not mention that Matilda had to wear eyeglasses to "notice" him. LOL
