Premium Member cousin charleys choice of mate

her personality was insipid.
she had a placid handshake
non-emotive, bland, little affect
she made mild-mannered look vibrant
we were stunned at Cousin Charley’s choice of mate.

we have never seen her smile
she could sober Stepford wives
How did our cousin fall for this creature?
None of us have ever figured it out.
lamp posts have more personality.

Charleys Prediction

Charleys prediction

I predicted one mans death,
dead by monday, he was yes,
as i said in casualness,
The heart attack did kill him,
I turned to Crab and this i said,
give up the beer or you are dead,
he went an saw old Doc Fred,
who said you will be dying,
your liver is implying,
God will strike you dead! 

so he lived till - he got back on the beer:)

thank you 'Grim Reaper' Debbie Duncan
