Ralph & Lucille Hard liquor and sexy women, watch out for that combination. Its been know to get a few good men into bad situations. Take Ralph for example, one night he got drunk and totaled out his car and his wife found a business card in his pocket, the card of a man he had socialized with in the bar the evening before, so she called him up and he proceeded to reveal how Ralph carried on in the bar with a woman named Lucille; seems like Lucille was giving kissing lessons and Ralph was eagerly accepting. The word is that Ralph offered Lucille a ride home, seems that Lucille didn't want to be alone, trouble is neither Ralph nor Lucille made it home. Well at least they didn't die alone. JamesLee 07 June 2009 Loosely based on a true story. |

James, Another lesson that could be learned from the story. Don't drink and drive. This is a good write. Bobby |

Dear James you have painted a picture that has taken place so many times in so many places. Sad to say I'm afraid it is something that will never change. I enjoyed your post. Lindsay |

How sad for Ralph's wife - her husband finally learning to kiss and she can't reap the benefits. Damn - that truly sucks. A |

What a sad, yet considering story. Never drink and drive, never go out and cheat on the wife. Nice poem. |
