I almost tossed it out contest

Sponsored by John Lawless   20/10/24


The day was long, her eyelashes longer 
batting them, only drove my lust stronger 
I was light on my feet, she’d light fingers
I traversed hot coals, yet coldness lingers 
How cruel this night, corrupt and broken 
Rolex watch gone, one silk hose her token 
(I almost tossed it out), but couldn’t part 
that laddered stocking, of a high-class tart

Ah, many a randy lad has lost his Rolex in the height of passion. Probably why time flies by when you're having fun.

Oh no, a Rolex is missing as is one laddered stocking (adds imagry). Sounds like it was worth the drama. It's getting closer , Dia de Los muertos and cuties in costumes. Good one, David. Right up Lawless'z alley.

....a closer look this is a Romcom...you see he finds the Rolex and one fake eyelash in the car seat...he finally locates her, apologizes, discovers she is a rocket scientist. It's love ever after.

Well, well, well, Ranger David. Now it all makes sense... the nights no one can find you when you're needed in Milton Creek. The days, too for that matter, and we all knew exactly where to find you, at the Bor..... Boarding house down the street where you tell us you do their handy work. I'm sure you're quite handy at what you do. You must have quite a collection of ladies' lacy things by now.
