What the **** did I do? You want to know sumpin' 'bout that floozie Pearl?
She ain't so darn nice!

Pearl said...

For starters, honey, you always want to do, what the boys don't want to do.
I mean to say - When you strut your stuff around - OMG London Bridge is falling down!
Another thing, Lulu. When you get blue, frankly, you go cuckoo Like a clock up on the shelf - you're the kind of smartie that breaks up every party.
Hullabalooloo, guys don't bring Lulu.
She'll come by herself - she always does!
And goes home the same way I might add!

Pearlie babe,just ask your friend Rose how she got her turned up nose - you might end up with the same.

Rose said...

I wanna be around to pick up the pieces when somebody breaks your nose like you broke mine.
