In some more normal world than this one, there is a book with a list of reasons why it's ok to kill your wife. I think this is one of them! Thanks!

*walking away still laughing...

Aye

Hey, Popeye (love the ref.) you got a real classic here

"Non-slip shower flowers are always in bloom,

must be the all the rain they get."

as a suggestion, I would take a look here to see what to leave out.

"The only pollen they produce is

a bunch of tiny black bits of leftover

soap and grime and skin and God only knows what else."

you are a better man than i

I laughed out loud and loved the description of the whore too.

Excellent piece.

Shows how the everyday is a poem waiting to be born

Thank you

Very descriptive with imaginative simile, like this:

I put my brush down and try to scrub

the yellow of an old man?s teeth off the porcelain.

Great job

well put together.

this was interesting reading / and quite enjoyable / i think you have an extra word in 'must be the all the rain they get' /

This is great fun!

I've been the same whore on far too many Saturday mornings! Just wondering what it would be like to be a bit more aggressive with Popeye... (such a wonderful image)... with something like "I kicked some water in his face".

Thanks for the chuckles!
