Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 14, 2025

/// Since “smart” Alex is nobody’s fool,

he made sure there was just enough fuel

in his hand-made jet packs

(which they wore on their backs)

for a splashdown in Tiffany’s pool.

If they miscalculated their fuel consumption, they’ll a little bit of their skin to the sidewalk.

Pizzazz to the neighborhood, and excitement to Sparky’s day.

The grandparents of George Jetson (b. 2022) were a couple way ahead of their time.

Alex and Tiffany are going to have hot patooties if those burners get too close.Happy Valentines day, Ballard Dears!

One day they went out for a flight,

After recently having a fight.

Alex came down,

In the cente of town,

With a fuel tank surprisingly light…

They are messing with my TV reception!

Hope they make the corner this time. Professor Beetlebaum did not enjoy their impromptu visit last month and has just finished repairing the fence.

They go all out on Valentine’s day.

Alex’s cardboard inserts provide crisp yaw control, while Tiffany’s dress yields superior pitch control.

“Tiffany”? THAT is a “Tiffany”? If that’s a “Tiffany”, I’m a Marmaduke.

The Flying Hendershots used to be circus performers. They both were shot out of a cannon at the same time. The act broke up because of constant arguments over who should climb in the cannon first!

It has kept their marriage strong over the years doing these kinds of things together.

Al and Tiffany seem to delight/

In the pleasure of untrammeled flight/

But they’ve made a mistake:/

They have no way to brake:

Does disaster await them? It might…

No goggles and open mouths, I hope there are no bugs in the flight path.

A Darwin Award just waiting to happen… ☺

I wish we could see what happened next. ☹️ Well, maybe not.

This always leaves Sparky exhausted.

Good morning Balladeers!

They could make a fortune offering dogs cardio exercise.

a little?!?

Alex and Tiffany just schooled Millicent on the subject of efficiency during an afternoon stroll.

Is that Scooter???

on ballard did alex and tiffany

have an amazing epiphany

walkies finish up fast

when you’re havin’ a blast

leaving more time for a big ol’ spliffany

☺
