You Look Nice

“Don’t you look nice!”, the waitress said
she left to get our ordered bread
	as his black coffee cooled
	he said, “You’ve got her fooled,”
and I went home and hid my head

Lovely limerick though slightly sad. I missed the part about your father though.

He was a simple, yet brilliant, man Victor. I never once doubted his love for his children. Nice to see you my friend! hugs, Linda :)

Whoa. At my 'advanced age' of 29, this one stings... As long as you were ok with it...

Hi Jack. Glad you got a chuckle. He was quick-witted and quite the jokester. I understood the difference between wit and smarta** at a very early age. LOL Thanks for stopping by! :)

Glad to read it was your witty dad…. Anybody else would have deserved this retort… “You could lose ten pounds of ugly fat…….. just cut your head off.” ;-)

Thanks my dear Svvie. My father was a very witty and funny man. I was in my 40s when he said that..He knew I would not be offended and think it funny - which I did! I appreciate you! :)
