My Cousin Peg

My cousin Peg is
My cousin Peg does
My cousin Peg does not
My cousin Peg will
My cousin Peg says
My cousin Peg….
I am tired of my cousin’s other cousin, Peg.
I am glad she is on the other side of his family.
I resolve to never like her in any way no matter what.
Then I meet her.
And she is impossible to dislike.
She is pretty much perfect in every single way.
Now I am saying “My cousin’s cousin Peg…”

Fine example of not judging an individual without prior knowledge. Nicely done!

Interesting, never make a decision about another without some face time, or old school ... walking a mile in the boots. :-)
