She Would Reinvent and Fix Him

He was a sapless namby-pamby but my cousin loved the idea that he was a blank canvas She had taken other canvases and turned them into Pollocks and Rembrandts Or so she thought….. She would paint him in vibrant colors. She would use a variety of her carefully honed and tested techniques She bought a bunch of new brushes and paints. Ready to begin her creation! She spent years and years Perfecting her craft, only it did not comply as she had surmised it should. She spent all that time trying to change a rabbit into the Easter Bunny. He finally hopped away. Showing spunkiness and spirit for the first time since they met. Not to be outdone, she took the credit for it.

Why would the word SPunk be considered a bad word? Why would it be replaced with STARS?

Well, well...the moralists are at it again, I suppose. Caren, "spunk" is a slang word for semen. There, I told you.

Somehow I felt this wasn't going to be a happy ending. I feel sorry for the guy, having married a woman determined to change him.

I would never marry this one either. I change all the time, and my husband knows he better keep up.
