He Falls For An Instigator

Sturdy limbs
Stocky almost
Knows his way around a barbell maybe
Not easy to anger
But if he finds the right woman
A professional stirrer,
Will be get away or fall hard?
A professional instigator is something he has not yet met.
We wait in anticipation wondering who will capture his heart.
Sure enough, he falls hard for a professional instigator.
One who not only pushes his buttons
But can push the rest of the family’s buttons too
He does not escape for twenty years
Finally does
To the relief
of his sisters
and his mother.

Caren, Oh those cheeky instigators, or any gators, all the same. Nice to find you up nights, writing out that whimsy you know so well. All for us to enjoy over and over. -Richard
