Michael Edwards

 

 

A big thank you to Teddy.15 for giving me the inspiration for this trio of variations on a theme.

 

 

There once was a lady called Lou

Who went on a trip to the zoo

The lion got out

She gave it a clout

And the scaredy-cat lion withdrew.

 

 

There once was a lady called Lou

Who went on a trip to the zoo

The lion got out

She gave out a shout

And her Hubby departed from view.

 

 

 

There once was a lady called Lou

Who went on a trip to the zoo

But the lion broke free

She yelled out: ‘Save me’

 which her Hubby chose not to pursue.

      There once was a lady called Lou
      who went on a trip to the zoo
      she got in a faff
      with a randy girraff
      discreet hubby polished his shoes

        There once was a lady called Lou
        who went on a trip to the zoo
        she got in a faff
        with a randy girraff
        doing things that were strictly taboo.

          There once was a lady called Lou
          who went on a trip to the zoo
          she got in a faff
          with a randy girraff
          and her hubby joined in too

          There once was a lady called Lou
          who went on a trip to the zoo
          she undid the zippo
          of a randy old hippo
          and ended up rather askew

            3 in 1, fun to read! I'll add a gross one:

            There once was a lady called Lou
            Who went on a trip to the zoo
            The lion got out
            She screamed "I have Gout!"
            Gave her toe for the lion to chew!

            • Michael Edwards

              Love it - I think we might have a stream going here .

              • Rozina

                Yes this is fun!

                  Who went on a trip to the zoo
                  The lion got out
                  She screamed "I’ve got Gout!"
                  And the lion thought β€˜That’s good to chew’

                  (After number three, before all the zoophilia set in:) 😜

                  A formidable lady was Lou
                  Managed to terrorise all she knew.
                  Bless her cotton socks
                  She looked good in her box
                  Which really nobody came to view.

                    I can see this going places - so many in one posting.

                    what comfort and escape, Art
                    can gift us

                    • Michael Edwards

                      The world of escapism but also the world where we come together - long live art in all its forms.

                      Very well and witty! Love these variations and I'd say they're all great in their own right. Amazing!

                    • Poetic Dan

                      Well I was not expecting to get lost in so many souls having fun, what a beautiful read of the ripple that was created by you!

                      Laughing is the best cure that you can't stay away from.

                      Thank you my friend, great stuff!
