Closet Case

She looks like death on a crippled spider Hips like an elephant, maybe wider My friends came over and saw My ugly mother-in-law Next time they come they want me to hide her

You give us images, Larry...frightening images of this woman. And yet you always make us laugh at the same time. Takes talent! You should be a standup comic. Love, Carolyn
