I'M STUCK ON YOU.


Her eyes were glaring at the screen, deciphering what she had seen.
My God it's feeling hot in here; I'd really love an ice cold beer.
Sweat on her brow, her lips were dry, she'd go and have another try.
Her desk drawer held a small Chap Stick , to make lips supple really quick.

She didn't look, just felt around until the Chap-Stick her hands found
and barely pausing for a minute, she flipped the lid - OK begin it.
Still battling computer woes and not seeing where Chap Stick goes
she aims and paints her lips with cream, but not as smooth as it would seem.

A passing thought flashed through her brain, this moisturizers rather tame.
It doesn't live up to its name, the makers promised instant fame.
Her lips were not dewy at all; it didn't hold her in its thrall.
It's rather dry and no ways slick...she looked to find 'twas the glue stick.

So if perchance a man came by and looked at her with twinkling eye
and wondered if maybe fate led him here, to kiss her lips so red .
Well I can dream and so can you for what’s a busy girl to do
but say “ Sir I am game - are you? I guarantee to be stuck on you.”

Oh dear Maureen I was engrossed in doing a drawing once and I had some jelly lollies at hand. I picked up a lolly to chew which tasted rather bad. It was my rubber eraser

Brilliant Maureen. Got a good laugh out of me. Wicked sense of humour you have.

Neville yuk! YOu should know lollies are bad for you!

Heather

Hi Maureen,
The reason I started wearing a beard was because of cracked lips up bush.
Mind you I haven't run into any young nymphs to try the ultimate stuck on test.

Terry

Sadly Neville this too was a true story and the girls at work never let me live it down. Actually the glue stick surprisingly tasted somewhat similar to marzipan

My sense of humour Heather has often been described as bizarre Not long now and you will find out

Terry I loooooove a bloke with a beard - actually make that 3 and 1/2 one couldn't make up his mind IMO beards are very sexy and becoming to most gentlemen and yet for reasons best known to themselves a lot of women dislike them.

Now Maureen First it is blokes with long hair then it is guys in a rock band now it is guys with a beard. Methinks you are hedgeing your bets.

Bob

Oh Ps here's one for you. Note to self " Always wash your hands after cutting up birdseye chilies before you go to the toilet "

A lesson learnt from experience.

Only 25 more sleeps Maureen! You and I will get along just famously Maureen!

Hope it's a bit warmer up there. Cold, wet, grey and awful here today.

Bob I think she just likes blokes - full stop.

Heather

God Heather there is hope for me yet. Pick Maureen and the dogs up on the way and she can hitch back.



Robert

Yes Heather I do like blokes - just like I do babies, great to cuddle, lovely to kiss, have no desire to have one of my own and I am always happy to give them back if their Missus insist

Now Bob I would be happy to come up there and visit with my two girls although that would make sparks fly no doubt with TTT. (never give up on Hope, and her sister Faith and Charity aren't bad lookers either) but if as you suggested I were to hitch back well that could be a very long trip indeed - 20 years ago it was feasible, 10 years ago it was possible now it would be highly improbable unless a real old, short sighted, desperate trucky were to come rambling down the highway going my way...that is unlikely I think he has moved further out west since I left and it appears he is no longer desperate

Maureen you wouldn't want to go visiting Bobb anyway - too many Queenslanders up there! And he makes you get your own ride home!
