What Can Possibly Go Wrong

     Preventing domestic contratemps 
       from morphing to explosions

     requires tact, diplomacy, finesse
       ability to decipher emotions ~

     On armed cops my town relies

When it comes to female opponents...I just surrender. Have not won a battle in 77 years. Blessings my friend. Well said. Yep, adding flame to fire increases the flame. Unfortunately, all our choices are sometimes heartbreaking ones. But one must choose or expire -- worse, live as slaves.

Hi Gershon, I sure feel sympathy for our brave in blue. Domestic calls can be one of the most dangerous parts of their jobs. Wonderfully penned. Have a splendid summer Tuesday!

Those domestic calls require the wisdom of Solomon and the strength of Superman.
