Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

On Second Thought

The word 'If,' a genuine tower of power
    Just ask your better half this Sunday
  If I behave, If I'm a really, really, good boy

  Can we skip the long line at the restaurant
    on Mother's Day this year, please -- just this once

  ...On second thought, the word 'If,' like you, Bud
       ~ is truly a dunce

Ann Peck May 13, 2023 at 2:54 PM You'd better take your wife, Gershon! If you don't, don't come crying to us when she has beaten you severely and you're bruised and bleeding! :) Gershon Wolf May 13, 2023 at 8:14 PM Guess I've already cried 'Wolf' one too many times, eh?! lol.

Linda Alice Fowler May 13, 2023 at 11:05 AM If you like, you can use my reasoning: Life is short. Celebrate your holiday when it fits your schedule, not "theirs". If you must, you must. But if you cook, cook. If you don't, order take out. LOL Gershon Wolf May 13, 2023 at 8:17 PM You Da Boss, Linda! lol. Happy M. Day!

Suzanne Delaney May 13, 2023 at 2:23 AM No, I don’t believe in ‘if’ anymore, ‘if’ is for children - building daydreams. Roger Williams song. This will only work if your wife doesn’t like long lines, too. Lol SuZ Suzanne Delaney May 14, 2023 at 9:02 AM Mum said the tooth fairy uses your tooth for a front door step. LOL. Think of all the little enamel front doorsteps in Fairyland. SuZ Gershon Wolf May 13, 2023 at 8:22 PM Sigh. Lost your belief in 'if,' eh?! Well about the tooth fairy?! And I'm sooooooo serious: Our teeth fall out again as we age. (Not speaking for myself, of course. lol). Too T DeKay

Daniel Turner May 12, 2023 at 9:47 PM If a frog had wings he wouldnt bump his a** everytime he jumped. Take her out and feed her. It's one day a year. LOL Gershon Wolf May 13, 2023 at 8:23 PM If I had wings, I'd still bump my rear end trying to jump: ~ This White Man Can't Jump. Cheers, gw

Lin Lane May 12, 2023 at 7:00 PM There ya have it, GW. All the ladies say, "Throw something on the grill and you'll both be happy." Lin Lane May 13, 2023 at 10:03 PM Lol sure-why not? Gershon Wolf May 13, 2023 at 8:25 PM Great idea, Lin. How's Chinese take-out taste on that old grill?! lol. HMD! ~ Gershon

Alexis Y. May 12, 2023 at 6:07 PM Hi Gershon, I don't like to stand in long lines to go to a restaurant ( even on Mother’s Day). I would prefer a home-cooked meal. I wouldn't be cooking of course. I hang up my apron on that day. Hehe. I'm not going to comment on the word “ If”. I enjoyed the read. Have a great weekend;-) Alexis Gershon Wolf May 13, 2023 at 8:30 PM My wife hung up her apron. I tried it on. End of apron... HMD, Alexis! :)

Beryl Edmonds May 12, 2023 at 4:53 PM How about if you say “ I’ll cook dinner so we skip the long line at the restaurant on Mother’s Day this year my dear. Gershon Wolf May 13, 2023 at 8:33 PM 'If' I say that, that long line at the restaurant will look a lot shorter to my wife!! lol. HMD, Belle!
