Killer Combinations - Two Dodoitsu

KILLER COMBINATIONS
(two Dodoitsu)

Money isn’t everything
a vibrant smile might win her
or a very charming wit
but    poor    and    ugly?

Pork and beans – my undoing
a big plate of them for lunch
and this harmless little slip
then     she waltzed right in

Both are funny, Daver, but the second one had me laughing out loud. Isn't that the way it always happens -- silent but deadly. LOL Love, Carolyn

Funny! My husband is also dealing with a sinus infection. It seems to be going around although they claim it isn't contagious. Lainie
