Limerick (Part 4)

At the opera a fine lady sat
Needed two seats 'cos she’s fat
Opera glasses in her hand
The singer was quite grand
But the conductor was a bit of a prat

The fat lady got wedged in her seats

At the opera a fine lady sat
Needed two seats 'cos she’s fat
Opera glasses in her hand
The singer was quite grand
Cosi Fan Tutti by Mozart.

From the opera, I went straight to bed

From the opera, I went straight to bed
Cos the music was still ringing in my head

From the opera, I went straight to bed
Cos the music was still ringing in my head
I dreamt I was singing

From the opera I went straight to bed
Cos the music was still ringing in my head
I dreamt I was singing
And my elastic was pinging
“Be quiet now” my hubby then said.

(Now back to the one poor old Judsy started on 4522).

The fat lady got wedged in her seats
While opening a bag full of treats

Oops sorry Judd - didn’t notice your response

The fat lady got wedged in her seats
While opening a bag full of treats
She called for some aid

The fat lady got wedged in her seats
While opening a bag full of treats
She called for some aid
And such a fuss she made

The fat lady got wedged in her seats
While opening a bag full of treats
She called for some aid
And such a fuss she made
She got wedged coz of all that she eats

But once at home I noticed some duds

But once home, I noticed some duds
The cabbage was limp
