It was Edna's 95th birthday
She said to her two oldest friends
For my birthday can we visit lands end
Yes they said
That might be fun
But on the trail people began to run
Suddenly a flasher
Jumped out of the ruff
Two had a stroke
Edna wasn't fast enough.

Poor Edna or maybe not. A fun read with rhyme and rhythm a good beat so to speak.
This here is a riddle I must solve: Perhaps Edna was faster than the other two and got her penknife open with the aid of her new high tech dentures?
I Could have got it all wrong (which would be true to form)- a slasher, not a flasher?
Oh Dear. Unlucky Edna. A fun piece, as the other two might have said. 😁
What a fun little write, Valiantstar. You lull the reader into expecting a wholesome birthday adventure, then veer straight into absurd comedy. That contrast is exactly what makes the punchline work. Thanks for the laugh, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was a risky departure!
