You Asked For It

I sit in lambskin slippers and jackets by the score. I find it hard to pay for heat The oil is costing MORE? I squint through specks the scripts too old At times I’m VERY quiet, at times I’m very bold! I eat raw bits of fishies on dishies by the score, and I can use chop stickies or slurp just like a bore! I blow my nose and pick it too! And YOU do too, I’m sure!!! I’ve chased a thug from an Irish pub and danced with a matador. Yes, I’m a real smart old broad my walls hang with degrees, yet, when I’m sick like I am now I wipe my nose on my sleeve! *Just KIDDINg yeah, [right ;)]

You made my day Debbie. So refreshing to see you lightened up. LOL I wish you the best in the contest if it is written for it. If not it is still a dang good write. Tickled my fancy I don't care what anyone else thinks. Have a wonderful weekend. Love, Carol

It sounds like a full and sometimes ordinary life. I particularly like your "dance with a matador" image...it's great. Good luck in the contest. Julie
