Watch Out, Ladies

I live on Bella Boulevard. Some call it “Singles Street.” For residents, life can be hard, and many long to meet someone. They wish to be discreet. These ladies will be caught off-guard, their faith in men so sorely marred, their equilibrium j—jarred by one with tongue so sweet! A charmer with come-hither eyes, a lusty appetite, and skills at telling luscious lies would bring them sweet delight, as one by one night after night he’d make the rounds. Soon they’d be wise to his deceit, a sad surprise, a cause for shame and angry cries and keeping out of sight. ******************** What town is next to be abuzz about this man whose mind is set on sex? He’ll pollinate each pistil he can find. FICTIONAL Date: September 14, 2019 Contest Title: Where Bumbles Bounce Sponsor: Craig Cornish

I know at least six good friends who accidentally married these "A charmer with come-hither eyes, a lusty appetite, and skills at telling luscious lies" and it ends sadly and badly.

Hello Janice … these silver tongued predators can be anywhere Janice. Is it sex or power that drives them; I don't know - thanks Janice - Lindsay
