A PAIR OF PEARS (A HAIRY PAIR)

Michael Edwards

 

 

A PAIR OF PEARS

(A HAIRY PAIR)

 

 

So proud of his pair was he

that he thought they were worthy to be

entered into a local show

and he knew he’d get pleasure in doing so.

so he filled in the form and off to submit it

and after the judging beside his exhibit

he saw on the table a judge’s notice

neatly written and what the judge wrote is:

‘I’m sorry to tell you that your pair be

ruled out of the judging on the grounds of 'too hairy’'.

      Thanks Andy - yes a bit of laughter - Jeanne is quite well at the moment and it makes such a difference.

        Fido says it's strictly about a pair of pears - the fruit variety! lol. He said that to save me from a swoon.

        My entry to this competition is: a pair of coconuts (outer husk removed).
        Prize to be sent by international courier;
        May be left unattended on front porch table.
        Thanking you in advance, Michael.

        • Michael Edwards

          The thought of dessicating them makes my teeth go on edge lol

          • Doggerel Dave

            No answer yet, Michael.
            I have a strong suspicion you may have absconded with the prize.
            Speedy resolution required, otherwise, I will see you in court.....

            • Michael Edwards

              See you in court - you can serve first?

              • Doggerel Dave

                Certainly - and the way this is going it would be a custard pie.
                My very thin veneer of civilization is rapidly peeling away....
