One fine day I fell in love with Funny Bones Claire

It happened fast; all it took was two winks and a stare

She drove up with the bread isle with her rattling cart

Then she side swiped me while reaching for some Pop Tarts

There was really nothing I could say and nothing I could do

When her cart hit mine my eyes stuck to hers like Elmer’s glue

We proceeded to the end of the isle and she headed south

But all I could do was follow her all the way as we “checked out”

We wound up together with a load of groceries side by side

But I forgot where I parked so I asked her to give me a ride

She had a little red sports car that let out a bang and a roar

She popped the clutch and put her foot down to the floor

The wheels screeched loudly and lots of burnt rubber peeled away

Her expression was like a race car driver on the Indy Speedway!

We took off like a rocket in outer space and in no time at all

Her car was out of the parking lot and we were down by the Mall

I asked her real nicely, “What in the world are we doing here?”

She said, “Did you forget we are married and this is your car my dear.”

Well now I know why I am so in love with Funny Bones Claire

So if you are 90 and FORGET your wife while shopping,

Please BEWARE!

Love,

Funny Bones Claire
