Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for March 21, 2013

As a pole dancer?

I don’t think it’s very nice of him to tell their kid about that.

She’s bright, and pretty, and he fell for her in spite of her location.

Someday she can decide watt to divulge about her shady past.

She was his old flame. He can enlighten their child and even hold a candle to her virtue. So just let him wax on.

She was lighting the way for the lost. That’s her story, and she’s sticking to it.

And she was singing, “I light up your life.”

I think you should all stop waxing poletic

I thought it was down in Watts, CA

Oh no, she’s not a “lady of the evening”??

she said she’s my mother? boy are you in the dark! let’s just say she always got off on a little “short”!

What a sight you are!How bright you are!You glow! — Perry Como

the closer the shone the sweeter the heat.

He should keep a stiff upper lip about her past. No need to shed light on it just yet.

The kid’s eyes are very big. Must have been a shock to him.
