TOAST AND ROAST <\/p>\n

This life is full of so many lessons,
\nNo doubt you have learned a few,
\nI have one I would so like to share,
\nThat is, if you’ll kindly allow me to.<\/p>\n

Now we have all heard this before,
\nDon’t put electricals near the tub,
\nBecause it could shorten your life,
\nAnd that would be a serious flub.<\/p>\n

So once there was a certain lady,
\nWho thought that she knew better,
\nShe was such a stubborn woman,
\nWhatever she wanted they let her.<\/p>\n

Well, part of her morning routine,
\nWas having her tea & jam & toast,
\nBut the toaster fell into the water,
\nAnd thus her life ended as a roast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
