Tell Me About the Tough Guy Please

What makes him tough? She asked me.
I dared not say, for she is a rounder with glee.
Seriously, she prodded. Please give me an example.
Variety of anecdotes about this thug were more than ample.

However, she is my cousin, and she always goes after the bad.
This Tom is seriously not a nice guy, a thug, a thief and a cad.
I got invited to their wedding the sixteenth of July.
It surprised me although to this day, I have no idea why.

What you see is what you get, as they say... Nobody changes anyone else either... Only those who want to change do so. Etc., etc. ~ Soapbox Sammy

All these bad boys - readily snapped up so a woman can "change" him. Eye roll.

I sincerely hope they are getting along just fine. However, leopards rarely change their spots!
