The other day Barb was combing her hair in preparation for church, and I said, "Oh, it's the Sasquatch Beautification Project, eh?"
So I had to write the poem below as penance.
It's better than a full-body cast.
I have come to the conclusion
that eyes are privileged to see;
Barb must be optic delusion,
none can be lovely as she.
I thought that she was pretty hot
on the morning that we met,
a feeling that I'll truly not
be able ever to forget,
but now I am forced to say
that the years exert a cost
on all others every day;
compared to Barb their cause is lost,
and their envy makes them green
beside cutest Sasquatch I have seen.
The Five Minute Friday prompt this week is ALREADY.
So have your dried your hair already?
C'mon, c'mon, you gotta go!
Just stand right there, still and steady,
and I will let the dryer blow,
but hey, there's lots of sparks a-flyin'
and the thing seems really dead,
but I know your hair needs drying,
and I have just the thing instead!
I'll just fetch my tanks and torch
and my trusty heating tip.
They're right out there on the porch,
I'll get them in and then let rip
and start you out upon your day
with hair that's dried the redneck way.
Three minutes thirty, and you're telling me you've NEVER done this?

Sylvia is glad I didn't need a body cast. Bites don't heal well beneath plaster.
And he picked the perfect Barb redneck song.
ReplyDeleteAll for you, Dear Heart!
DeleteI must say, Andrew, your words redeem you! I hope Sasquatch doesn't become her name! As serious as life is, those like you and me cannot help weaving humor into it's nooks and crannies. And I have discovered along my way, NOT everyone appreciates it. Much prayer for both of you and the peanut you found! Or did he find you? Mary Hood.
ReplyDeleteMary, thank you, and I think God found both Peanut and me! (For those who haven't yet heard, Peanut is a Great Dane who, less than 24 hours from the shelter, saved my life...more to come...)
DeleteYour humor is alive and well! Tell Barb 'Hi" for me. She is an amazing woman. I'm glad for this day and the hope that it brings. Your friend, Norma
ReplyDeleteLove the humor and what an adorable dog!
ReplyDeleteoh, but I hooted! :) Well done sir!
ReplyDeleteTwo peas in a pod!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you redeemed yourself with a poem, Andrew. Two even. Very clever. Kath, your FMF neighbour this week.
