High fibre Harry


He is the baked bean testerAnd he works the graveyard shiftHe isn’t very fragrantNow I think you’ve got the drift For he’s frequently explodingAll the people call him namesAnd it’s ever so importantHe avoids all naked flames His underpants bear witnessEach emission leaves a blotBut they’ll be back on tomorrowThey’re the only pair he’s got Each Friday it’s his bath nightHe lies soaking, feeling snoozyRelaxes rectal musclesTo create his own Jacuzzi

It’s nice to know that I

It's nice to know that I managed to raise a smile.Perhaps we should have a whole week dedicated to baked beans, after all its the staple diet of single English men, isn't it? except me that is, I popped in at lunchtime today put some meat on to cook and left it simmering, when I got home this evening I made a steak pie, the trouble is I always cook far too much, can't quite get the hang of cooking for one.

Ah John

Beans means ripped jeans farts from the heart of baked beans when we are alone and feeling the cold open a tin with a bottle of gin! Much love and you are never alone! shirley harrison

I'm so sorry Stan your name didn't scan It wouldn't fit into the rhyme but should I be starting a verse about farting You'll surely be in it next time
