Big Bertha

      Big Bertha

She wasn't accustomed to losing
Her battles were always well planned
If you value your life, do not cross her
Don't mess with her kids or her man

On most days, she is docile
A smile for all that she meets
But fuck with what she holds dearest
They'll be scraping your ass off the street

Ol' Paulie, can maybe tell you
Since once, he and her were real close
Until that day that he crossed her
And she cut off his balls and his toes

Tread lightly, when you are near her
Do, try to grant her her wishes
If you mess with her kids or her lover
You'll be chum for the Long Island fishes.

Hey Indi,

Glad this made you laugh. It was fun writing. I went to lunch with a few biker friends and one of them, Paulie, told some extremely colorful stories about his ex, that he not so lovingly called Big Bertha. Some of the tales were straight from the diary of Tony Soprano. This was my take on it. Thanks for the read . Sue

Thanks Ells, I may take

Thanks Ells, I may take Indi's advice and further the saga of Big Bertha. Some of the stories I heard about her certainly provide the humor. Thanks for the read and response. Sue
