Poem:



This teeny bikini's

Too small for the beach

So unwrap the threads

To put dishcloths in reach!



Another Poem:

So you are not the type to wear a bikini

you are either too chubby or too teeny...

Do whatever your little heart wishes...

you can take me apart to do your dishes.

If you should spot a bit of dust,

Use the SoS pads from my bust!!





Happy Crafting!!
