A Fun Collaboration With Rhoda Tripp

MY SWEETEST PRINCESS I WOULD NEVER LIE TO YOU(except for when it keeps me out of trouble) AS FOR MY FINANCIAL STATE I AM FAR WEALTHIER THAN MY MAGAZINE PUBLISHING FAMILY "McCALLS" (no relation) Princess; You said a free subscription! What is this invoice? I POSSESS THE WEALTH OF A THOUSAND ARABIAN PRINCES(live paychech to paycheck) TUCKED AWAY SAFELY IN MY MASSIVE PALACE(12x70 trailer) Princess; I'm shopping new drapes for the cathedral windows. is there a turret? I WOULD SHOWER YOU WITH EXPENSIVE GIFTS FROM EXOTIC PLACES(like wal mart and dollar general) I'LL WOO YOU WITH STORIES OF MY MANY TRAVELS(to far away towns looking for work) Princess; Edward you are filthy rich; I want gems; Rubies, Diamonds and Emeralds. I'LL TELL YOU HOW WOMEN SHOULD BE WORSHIPPED(washing dishes and doing laundry) I'LL COOK YOU GOURMET MEALS WITH THE FINEST INGREDIANTS(pork and beans, Kraft macaroni and cheese and polska kielbasa) Princess; I love shrimp creole and buttered main lobster served on the finest china OUR LOVE WILL BE GREATER THAN THE TALLEST REDWOOD(clothes line pole) I'LL TAKE YOU ON WHIRLWIND CRUISES(around the local lake on my bass boat) Princess; These redwood clothes pins are fascinating they replace bobbers. WE'LL WINTER IN THE BEDROOM(it's closer to the furnace and there's plastic on the windows) WE'LL SUMMER IN THE LIVINGROOM( that's where the window air conditioner is) Princess; Edward I'm concerned, can we winter in Cancun? the furnace quit working. OUR LIFE WILL BE PERFECT(well sort of) BUT YOU'LL START TO WONDER WHERE I GO THREE NIGHTS A WEEK FOR HOURS ON END YOU'LL SOON DISCOVER THAT I'M LIVING A SECRET LIFE AS A WAL MART GREETER. Princess; Where were you tonight? You said these were real jewels. They are wal mart fakes!!! DISPITE THIS TROUBLING REVELATION OUR LOVE WILL NEVER END(until you suffocate me with my pillow and claim PMS) Princess; Hey Edward, My dear, you bought cheap laundry soap smell this pillow case. OF COURSE YOU'LL HAVE TO SELL THE TRAILER AND BOAT TO OFF SET YOUR LEGAL FEES BUT YOU'LL KEEP THE JEEP YOU LOVE THAT THING. Princess; I miss you Edward; The trailer and boat are sold jeep needs a muffler. for the attorney I leave behind the new drapes bought with my own money. A birthday present for his wife. THE MORAL OF THE STORY; BE CAREFUL WHO YOU MARRY

Conspirator, eh? (Nods head in agreement and laughs). Edward was the brains behind this write and it was a joy to work with him. (as it wasn't much like work). Seriously, thank you for your kindness. You are a gem.
