Mrs F Poem by jerry hughes

Mrs F



Old Mrs Fancourt, gone to god,
smelt of lavender and wees.
I'm sure she wore those bloomers
that came down to her knees.

Her teeth were false,
her hair was permed,
her lips were flaming red.
Despite her faulty bladder though,
she never wet her bed.

this reads like a nursery rhyme, old man.

Amazing - I'm sure I knew her - different name but that poem sums up so many! Wonderful.

Wees is such a wonderful word. Too often used only when talking to children. Lavender and wees go togetherly magnificently and prelude this timeless piece of silliness and gentle humour. love, Allie xxxx
