I got a text from my sister,

She said ‘I’m reading a great book,’

‘Good for you,’ I said,

‘I must have a look,’

‘Julie Hesmondhalgh,’ she said,

‘Great actress, two kids, great husband, perfect!’

‘Who is she?’ I replied…. Are you still in bed?’

‘No, I’m not! I’m up and have everything done!’

‘She was in “Coronation Street,” married to Roy, you know the one?’

‘Oh, yeah, I sure do, another “Biography” enjoy your read.’

‘Well, I was until she got a rescue dog.’

‘Really. Did it die, get lost in a bog?

‘No, it’s the name, it’s an insult you see,

for she called the dog “Bridie” same name as me.’

I couldn’t stop laughing, her bubble is burst,

For to call the dog “Bridie” nothing else could be worse.

‘Get over it,’ I said, ‘don’t be a drag,

from now on when you think of her, just give your tail a wag!’
