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!

            • Rozina

              (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.

                what comfort and escape, Art
                can gift us

                  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!

                  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!
