Men You Definitely Wouldn'T Want To Date - Part 2

I once dated a chef … I was worried about getting a bun in the oven But when I saw him mincing across the kitchen I knew I wouldn’t be getting my fingers burned! I once dated a fireman… Oh he was HOT HOT HOT But when he got out his tiny hose It soon put out the flames of my desire I once dated an electrician .. Hoping that he would light up my life But he was short tempered and would quickly blow a fuse Sadly in the end there was no spark between us I once dated a plumber… I was flushed with pride when we were out together Sadly he had problems with his waterworks I ditched him… he was always taking a leak I once dated a bricklayer Couldn’t resist pointing out my faults He wouldn’t listen, it was like talking to a brick wall In the end he drove me up the wall and our relationship crumbled 15th April 2016

These are really amazing 'mini tale's that are LoL funny in a way that brings the humour to the 'occupation' not the 'men', which is both respecful and hilarious...no easy feat, you just make it look easy with your extraordinary talent :-) Excellent writing Jan...I'm off to #1 now..I did it backwards..lol blessings, lynn
