Tracey got paroled just a few months back
Since then she’s been doin’ real fine
Bought herself a little piece a land
Says she’s gonna get her a doublewide

Park her cars all over the yard
She’s real proud of that vintage Ford Pinto
Walk around in a housedress and Birkenstocks
Life don’t get much better in Ontario

Other day when her Walmart credit card arrived
Well, don’t think I’ve ever seen her so happy
Took the pickup an’ filled the whole bed
Now the girl’s dressin’ real snappy

Her boss down at the Waffle House
Says she’s the best employee of all
Rumor has it Denny’s wants to steal her
For their new one at the mall

Yep, Tracey’s come a long way
And I want to do my humble best an’ tell her
It makes me so darn proud, darlin’
To be your porch sittin’ feller

You don't think she'll be amused?  But she thinks everything I do is charming, you oughtta know that!
Somehow the pink gremlin doesn't surprise me!

Michael
Your support is always so appreciated...now get off my porch.  LMAO

Sunshine
Thanks...I'm sure she'll agree!

Enchantress
Think it'll be kisses she's throwin' at me?

Oh man, you are so lucky that I’m too busy with moving to do a proper reply in verse to this. When my life calms down in a couple weeks, be prepared…the Judge Judy saga has nothing on what I’m gonna write my dear!!! And, to set the record straight, (well, as straight as she who just arrived home from a much deserved girls night out can do!!) yes..the new garage is double width and double length, but…for the MGB and the Lotus…NOT for a Ford Pinto. And as you know full well, I boycott Walmart (so don’t be buying my next birthday present there….unless you REALLY like it there in the doghouse!!).
But wow, you didn’t tell me Denny’s called!!!! When do they want me to start?? Is Monday too soon??? Wow, I think all my aspirations just came true!!! I have reached the apex of my career!!!

Sea…a pink gremlin??? Man, do I remember Gremlins!! Guess we’re showing our age huh?? Lol

Deer…the doghouse is too good for him!!!!

JM…LOVE the pic. If he weren’t so damn cute, you can bet your hot patootie he’d be flying through the air right now!!! Unfortunately, he’s already gone to bed…so I don’t even get to hit him with the rolled up newspaper yet!!!

Karen…drinks??? Did I hear drinks??? Cool, I’ll have a beer please!!!

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

I'm with Tracey, I tried to boycott Walmart, but they make the best priced photo prints, darn it! And I have 100's to make.  
Otherwise,they never see me. LOL
I am boycotting Market Basket too, if anyone has one in their area, I have  great story to tell you.
Duncan, you are too cute and funny. And better not mess with Tracey's cars.

Explain this to me, must be a 'girl' thing (or maybe it's a 'redhead' thing)...but aren't you MY FRIEND?  Is ok, don't need ya...I got Balladeer.  (Good one, Dunc!)

Karen
Of course, it's true...have I ever mislead you?

Trace
Once again, you've responded to my thread as if it were your own.  And ya wonder why I'm not worried about your idle threats of one upin' me.  (Ya gotta write somethin' to do that, dear!)
In all sincerity, darlin...there's no other porch I'd rather sit on...for now.  

James
That's what she keeps tellin' me!

Sandra
Skip the politics...thanks for thinkin' I'm funny!

walker
Somehow...you, I won't argue with.  

Sy
My pleasure to entertain ya.

ROFL... As I read this tell-all of Tracey's secrets, I was hoping your porch had very strong screen to protect you from a much deserved reprisal... burglar bars came to mind *G* But after reading Tracey's response, I think I'll just offer condolences... even if a bit prematurely. LOL

This is great, Duncan... I thoroughly enjoyed. *S*
