I have just been given bragging rights <br />Yes it happened tonight <br />Before the sun gave its final shine <br />Carefully a 30 pound 4 ounce watermelon was pulled from its vine <br /> <br />Yes I do believe that entitles me to the right <br />To brag and make a little sight <br />Pictures upon the scale I took <br />No, it will not go down in a book <br /> <br />But it was grown with my two hands <br />On country land <br />Where my certificate to brag is framed <br />And yes it has been proclaimed <br /> <br />By a witness standing at my side <br />He almost fell over and died <br />When the scale tipped over thirty <br />And all I could say is, Isn’t it purdy*<br /><br />Patricia Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bragging-rights/
