At Fresh Market

“You two melons are crowding me in a bad way.”

“Are you kidding, Bermuda? You must be gay,
‘cause all the potato heads think we look fly!
Yeah, see them? They’re giving us melons the eye!”

“Well, you’re squeezing me in; I’m a delicate guy!”

“Good grief, Mr. Onion, you’re making us cry.
Oh, here comes a cucumber right in our space.
Bet you won’t be complaining with HIM in your face!”

Hi. I read your comment about Rhonda Hero. She is very ill & losing internetnet & no money for treatments. I am worried. I met her on listia & I want to buy her book of poems. I have her address & going to send her a card & see how she is. She is not on Listia any more. Sigh I just hope she is OK. I just received her message as on vacation & it was Jan 31 so I went here as she gave her name & saw ur mssg.
