Suggesting a new plant based diet She’d leave me if I didn’t try it In that quarrel she was the winner So that evening I cooked the dinner The table was laid and the soup that I’d made Was Hemlock and Deadly Nightshade

With those ingredients, she left alright! Six feet under forever. Good humor, Terry.

Thanks Jenna. This is the second time I’ve written about wives and hemlock… but I promise I’m not a homicidal maniac……. Anymore! Ha ha ha. Nice to hear from you. Terry

Remind her that vegetables cause really stinky farts (hemlock and nightshade blast the final one). Aloha!

She had been suspicious that my soup (beef broth) was brown… I told her it was Mushroom… she doesn’t eat mushrooms… hence the soup! :-) Terry

Oh my, Terry. Do you think that's what she had planned for you if you were the winner?

She would never harm me. She’s too busy with her new hobby… collecting apple pips!
