The Short Strokes

Yours truly designs a newsletter for some elderly folks Mostly gossip but scattered throughout are some corny jokes Also who's still alive For those few that survived Soon will be getting down to those dreaded short strokes © Jack Ellison 2015

Jack my friend I've been so busy so sorry Jack the wife wants things done around the house. You know the honey do list. Honey do this Honey do that. I miss writing and reading. If it takes me a bit to respond you got the back up posse to come through. I will catch up sooner or later. Keep em coming!

Remember when you write your review... Your competition knows who's left, too...So take a clue... Walk a mile in romantic Tim's shoes... If it's the ladies you want to accrue... PS. Where's our Dear Lady Cathie?... Hope she doesn't end on a warpathie... She's a Lady most classy... Don't misbehave or you bum will be out on the grassy... Or a creek where you'll go Splishy-Splashy... Grandpa Troll made me to it, so brassy...Dragon was lost but flashy... Help! I can't stop! I'm getting so brassy!

A mighty fine hobby to do....keeping tabs on the still kickin few...which ladies are free...to add to your spree....and to their fellas you bid adieu
