now, life in the union
can be political
as we fight over seniority
hours and plain bickering

some members have found a way
to better themselves
physically, by taking time off
for health repairs

I have always believed that
you don't cut into yourself
breaking the skin seam,
asks for trouble

well others take the time off
although lost time pushes back
their retirement;
their pensions can wait

somehow the rehab always ends
after a major holiday
and right before
a preapproved vacation

well, this young lady had a breast
reduction
i couldn't believe it
the breasts were hurting her back

doctors had to shift the weight,
reduce the strain.
i thought the cure would be situps
and a stronger spine

it's all covered
i will not dispute
the doctors or the insurers;
well she'll be back soon

now my boss has mentioned
a weird ocurrence
with a similar operation
to a former employee

unfortunately;
after the operation
one of her nipples fell off.
what a shame

I know a bald boob
wouldn't bother me
as smooth as a baby's bottom;
though, she didn't like it

a second surgery
cut the nipple in half from
her other tit and placed
it on the bald one

i didn't ask nor inspect;
though, I guess
one boob winks up
the other blinks down

I thought a better fix
would be to buy a bag
of pepperoni
place one on the summit

I know I would eat it
maybe a little salty;
why complain
if it gets old

throw it on a slice
of pizza
now that's  
a mouthful

I'll never look at pizza the same way again.  And pepperoni is now off my diet.

In my world, pizza is Italian! It ain't Egyptian, Mexican, Spanish, Nordic, Russian, Turkish, Korean, Chinese, Samoan, Aussi, British, nor...reptilian, so there! Next time I order a slice, they better speak Italian. Everybody wants to be a Sonnetter n' rhyme.

you are so right, don bardzini. they're putting all kinds of foreign detritus on pizzas these days. pineapple, dismembered chicken, quacky-quacky sauce, and the list goes on and on. even saw one with kibbles n bits and they called it gourmet! it may be gourmet, but it ain't kosher - no matter how you slice it.

Next they'll be calling it mum's pizza n' slicing it with a dagger...think they're Luca, or, sumptim'!  You ever see a mum twirl a pizza? a Turk?  Go Italian, I dare say! n' rhyme like a Chickomum!

hmmm Chickomum pizza
lots of those little hottie-dogs, to chomp and mash
with tomato sauce and stringy cheese ...

it ain't Italian, but's good fun

To quote the great Dino, "pizza is pizza". I'll eat any pizza any time; even the sacrilegious buffalo chicken.  Though, I am partial to a slice of pepperoni.
