Watch or Gun An old Mafia Don lay dying in bed And called his only grandson to his side, ‘I wanna you lisin these words that I said And by my advice I want you abide.’ ‘I wanna you take my gold plated gun As a token you remember me by, Ita someting I keep for you my grandson, Your future ita someting I cannot deny.’ ‘Grandpa, I know you have my welfare at heart But I really don’t like guns,’ he responded, ‘Perhaps you could leave me your new Rolex watch, It would be something by which we’d be bonded.’ ‘You lisina me boy’ I give de good advice, Somea day you gunna runna de bisness I know, You makea lotsa money, have beautiful wife, A biga house and a couple of litta bambino.’ ‘But whata say you come home onea day And find de wife in bed with a strange bedamate, Whata you think you gunna den say, Pointa your watch and say timea up mate.’ |

"Whata you think you gunna den say, Pointa your watch and say timea up mate." ~ What a hilarious closing punch line! Hmm, did that give the grandson pause for consideraion? Perhaps he decided to take the gold-plated gun, afterall! I bet in person, Lindsay, you're a laugh a minute and keep people entertained with your stories ~ funny and otherwise.  With love, Linda Lou  |

 I had NO idea where this was going but cute it was! Thanks for checking in on me, Lindsay! I think I'm ready to kick my little muse in its poetic backside, whether s/he wants to be here or not! Ready for some bacon tomato jam over fresh sourdough bread?  |

Wonderful...but if he took the watch he could look at the watch and say "Time to find a more loyal wife."...James |

Lindsay, my dear friend, You so remind me of the great Louis L'Amour. One of my favorite quotes of his:One day I was speeding along at the typewriter, and my daughter - who was a child at the time - asked me, "Daddy, why are you writing so fast?" And I replied, "Because I want to see how the story turns out!" I believe this is how you must tell such wonderful stories, Just start typing, then hurry to the end to see what you come up with. I do so enjoy your work, and you are one of "The Great Story Tellers" of our time. Thank you for sharing your tallent with the world, and me. Love always, Tracey. |
