New Years Eve Disaster

NEW YEAR’S EVE DISASTER Gaby was preening from four after noon, New Year’s Eve and Vincent was due soon, Had butterflies all day, When he came what to say? She was sassy, bold and in a swoon. Vincent six foot four, Gaby just five foot, How to kiss or dance, should be a hoot, Chose Gaby, she was flattered, First date, nervous, shattered, Can mum come, Gaby gave Vincent the boot!

Creative use of the form. That definitely was a big difference in their height. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

Very funny. I am also much taller than my wife Tanya. And her mother was not happy with our budding union. Fortunately we own a stepladder. Kind wishes, Kai

You can get some impossible mother in laws who think that even though their son is married with a family of their own, they still have a say in the marriage, fortunately mine is kind. I had a smile at the step ladder - blessings my friend, Jennifer.

Thanks Richard - he deserved it. He can love his mom all he wants but imagine, she probably would want to go on honeymoon with him when he got married! Glad you enjoyed, Blessings, Jenn.

Hi Silent One -I don't blame her either - well thank you and send safe wishes to you and yours from South Africa. People were out yesterday for the first time but distancing was not kept, so we have been told that we will go back a phase if this carries on for a few more days. We have a massive very poor population, who are getting a bit restless. For another laugh my friend go to my reply to Lindsay below. Blessings , Jenn.

G'day Jennifer … not the best way to start the year, but it's one NYE that won't be forgotten. Thank you Jennifer - Lindsay

Reminds me of one I had. I was at boarding school in Harare, then Salisbury at the convent in Rhodesia. It was Christmas and all my friends had spread far and wide this particular year. One of my mothers friends arranged a blind date for me for the NYE dance. I opened the door and there stood an absolute nerd (He was a flying doctor) forgot to say we lived in Zambia so travelled backwards and forwards - I was 18 and he must have been late thirties. Anyhow off we go, but i refused to dance saying I wasn,t feeling well. At 11.45p.m I went to the ladies and locked myself in there for half an hour. My parents were frantic wondering what was happening I certainly wanted no NYE kiss! Blessings, Jennifer

Thanks for a lovely comment Harry, glad the poem started your day off well. As you might guess she is now looking for a new boyfriend, mom would probably want to go on honeymoon with them! Blessings and hugs, Jennifer
