    Mary forgot to look both ways when crossing the street and a car appeared as from nowhere and ran her over, just like her mother claimed would happen.

    Even though he was the last man on earth she still would not go out with him.

    /// Hilde needed to board ship today,

    so she sent for a cabriolet

    to pick her up here

    and rush to the pier,

    but she feared it might first pass his way.

    /// Gaston lived nearby— just cross la rue.

    (Stealing cabs was a thing he would do.)

    So to “lock-in” her ride,

    Hilde swallowed her pride

    and then raised her hem over her shoe!

    Emily is waiting patiently by the side of the road for a taxi.

    But she doesn’t realize it will be 14 years before one shows up in Paris.

    /// Six score years ago, give or take two,

    “social distancing,” nobody knew.

    All at once ‘twas invented

    by a woman (demented),

    who thought babies were “caught” like the flu.

    A pistol duel was all very well, but Miranda came prepared: her parasol shaft was actually a rifle.

    There’s your indoor voice, your outdoor voice, and your hollering down the street voice. In a lady-like manner of course.

    The Wait or Waiting, Rue de Chateaubriand

    (best viewed with Google Chrome, which can automatically translate most webpages as necessary) has info and links that point to more info about this roughly jumbo envelope size painting.

    I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to the artist info I used to point to here. So far, 11 works by this artist, have been used here (15 times total, including this Throwback Thursday repeat, and 3 earlier repeats, including 1 with this caption). 

    https://www.gocomics.com/that-is-priceless/2015/01/02?comments=visible 

    has the first time this was used here, albeit with a different caption (the 25 hyperlinks in my comment there have been deactivated, but perhaps the text remains informative).

    While standing in line a few days early to buy a concert ticket was the thing to do back in its day; waiting for St. Patrick’s day parade 63 days before never caught on.

    Thanks to everyone for the best wishes from the best people I’ve gotten to know as “Facebook friends”. In some cases I think we go back as much as six years. I’ve had a few minor skirmishes with some members, But on the whole no reason to consider leaving the site. There are a lot of powerful brains posting here I could never given up. Long as I managed to stay alive, you’ll be seeing my crappy limericksThanks again for being real friends.
