Smooth Talkin’ Romeo He was a poor country boy. His aim in life was to have a harem just like those rich ole sheiks of the desert sands. His pappy thought it was macho, his mama thought it was sad. At the age of thirteen into town he would go, and practice the art of bein’ a smooth talkin’ Romeo. Patches on his knees and holes in his shoes. Slicked back hair, a perdy smile, and a splash of Old Spice from his pappy. He’d sweet talk the little girls and put their little hearts in a twitter. Well he practiced his art of bein’ suave till one day he met this rich old lady. Least she was old in his tainted eyes. She was rich in oil wells and knew his game. Looked him in the eye and said, “Poor boy. Will you marry me?” Oh! Shucks why not.I’ll be a havin’ my harem on the sly. A big house, cars of many kinds in the garage, food to die for. New tailored suits and leather shoes. Styled hair and Chanel For Men upon his masculine face. To town he would go to practice bein’ savoir-faire with all the pretty little ladies at the county fair. At the stroke of midnight his cell phone does ring. “Number One wife calling time to come home Romeo.” He turns and gets in his Jag looks up at the starry night. Turns the key, the ole Jag begins to purr. Smiles at his dreams of long ago. Steps on the gas and speeds on home. To his Number One Wife and his harem of little girls ages six months to sixteen. This poor ole boy has a good life and a harem of his dreams. Well dear reader there may be a moral to this story, but I’m not sure. The only thing I see is marry rich, have a lot of kids then you can drive a Jag. Hugs BonBon |

more common than you'd think first time you marry for love, second time you marry for money...if you get both in one time, you're lucky |

heheheheh -- too cute! I'll take the jag, though. Thanks for the smile. Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Not sure of the moral of this story...all I know is that if you marry for money and not for love, thats not a true marriage...a marriage for money is a business arrangement...marriage for love is a heart arrangement....what do I know...James |

Driving a jaguar is fine until you let loose of it's tail I have always liked your humour and words Bonnie. I think I have just missed it as I went through the posts. Dave |
