That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for January 23, 2023

“If you say no, I have 3 more options waiting.”

The ladies are watching ‘who wants to marry a millionaire’, while their friend is angling to do just that.

“While your sisters are glued to that painting how about we ‘walk the dog’ if you know what I mean.”

/// Her young swain swears his great Admiration

for the way she resists all temptation.

Since they all dress in satin,

it would show, should she fatten,

but her goal’s intermittent starvation.

Ever faithful, his hound stands guard until he manages to seal the deal.

I’m sorry Ralph, but I cane be with someone who out dresses me and my sisters…

His owner had given Fido the “stand—stay!” command, but the smell of TV snacks from the other end of the room was agony.

It almost looks as if he is actually and quite intently listening to what she is saying.

Three sisters ( there may have been four)/

Found they just couldn’t take any more/

Of their flatterer’s blather/

And so they chose rather/

To hire a helpful hoar.///

The hoar was as deaf as a stump/

But she had a magnificent rump;/

Things might have gone well/

But (d4mmit it to “h#11” !/

it turned out she’d voted for Trump///

And that’s how the story ended./

The sisters’ sweet dream was upended !

And if I’ve brought disgrace/

To this delicate space/

I’m sorry that I’ve offended !

Into the next two centuries

Don Giovanni’s lecheries

Crept on in the heredities

Of his numerous progenies.

.

Since the Stone Guest snatched Grandfather

His horny genes had traveled farther

Then most any man ever bothers

And found many receptive mothers.

.

The tough old rake, old-timers say,

Bonked far more than “mille e tre”

Was claimed In Spain he had betrayed

Among the women he had waylaid.

.

Why, his genes were so prolific

His progeny spanned the Pacific,

Across the globe did spread so quick

Generations three quite did the trick.

.

And so poor sister Silly Millie,

By most accounts a winsome filly

Was wooed and likely gave up her prize

Beneath her three sisters’ very eyes!

Nuthin’ is as Latin as a Latin “cat” in satin in the mor-or-ornin’..

No, that’s not my dog, I thought it was yours

Liberace…..before he discovered…..well, we all know. Don’t we?

Being the spoiled dog he was, he figured the other three females were for his enjoyment. (take it however you’d like)

Dog : all this shiny fabric kind of makes shedding pointless. The hairs just slide right off their clothes.

Elvis in “Viva La Scala.”

Why bother watching? You know the Cowboys are going to lose.

Based on the old style of clothing, this may have been back when the Cowboys were good.

Sparky couldn’t care less about their interest in some painting of a man without clothing, but they kept talking about a “bone”….

Dear Olive, I suggest we take your dog for a walk and a romp in the woods!

Don’t bother, that game was boring as heck.

Actually, it is the young lady who wants to watch the Cowboys-Niners game. He looks like he might be more interested in watching The Bachelorette.

“And what, pray tell, have those ladies over there determined my odds are with you?”

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3066 (January 23, 2023) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (today, if you trim what’s after .png from the URL, you get an error when trying to use that). I have added a comment there pointing to the blog entry with my comment pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, 2 works by this artist have been used here, the November 18, 2022, strip bring the prior.

Wasn’t much of a game. Go Chiefs!

Elvis is alive, and wears Vicrorian clothing.

“…And if I had known that you and your delightful sisters were dropping by, I would have changed out of my gardening clothes.”

while Liberace talks to mom, the dog, wolf is in heaven with the scent of tuna fish in the air.

Dearest … wait! Bob, is that you? I almost didn’t recognize you.

Forty Niners 19 – 12 Cowboys. It was a good game.

“Admiration.” Nice dog.

“What mirror, where?”
