Wacky Weekend Convention

Rosie Hammond went to a convention held in the town of Gig Harbor With vacuum salesmen she would wine and dine while worrying about her daughter. She was suffering from pain caused by the medicine she took for her insomnia disorder Drifting off to sleep before the meal was complete she dreamt a UFO took her to the boarder. Being in such dire straits to stay awake she sniffed a Listerine soaked tissue Loosing their wits watching these tid-bits her friends asked, “What’s been bothering you?” “Don’t get your spandex boxer shorts all out of sorts making lunar craters from wormholes, You’re daughter will be fine just give her some time,” are the things that Rosie was told. So they continued to taste the nuclear waste sent from the restaurant’s kitchen And Rosie’s mind was free to let her be a contributor to the convention.
