Four Bitchin' Babes Toe To Toe With The Hmo
I have this problem with my toe
And so I call my HMO
With a referral from
My primary care physician
They say my call matters to them
They're like an old and trusted friend

Festering

Id kinda like to keep the toe
I spent a fortune on these
Gorgeous Gucci sandals
Sexy
Size 6
Retail
I have been waiting patiently
Why aren't you listening to me?
Can't you see that it's
