That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 27, 2023

The ladies at old folks home stopped everything when the cook started to make gruel.

/// Six old friends each day gathered for tea,

and to peer out the window to see

the house just cross the alley.

They would keep a close tally

of strange men who, somehow, had a key.

/// Their young neighbor was cute Mrs. Bohm,

and whenever her husband’s not home

handsome men would come calling.

Six voyeurs found enthralling

how she managed to stay in— yet roam.

Magic Mike makes a visit.

The ladies at the senior center loved to watch Donald Trump because he was so pretty, but sometimes he would say something that would make even them, jaded octogenarians all, tilt their heads in befuddlement.

When the young Lord of high degree rode through town on his milk-white steed, all women — young maidens and old widows — took notice… but especially Margarita the poor, frail consumptive …

Goodness I didn’t think a person could bend like that. Miss Gina you are a wonder.

They’re just there for the beefcake!

Or they might be auditioning exotic dancers to appear at a bachelorette party.

Paris Fashion Week is March 1-3, 2024

The ladies gathered by the window daily for noon tea. Like clockwork, the young gardener was working his hose again.

“So this is the internet huh.”

Five geezers react with delight /

at a most unusual sight -/

the Stadtspolizei/

Are arresting some guy:

his infraction ? he doesn’t look white.///

He jogged through “their” neighborhood/

And they knew he was up to no good/

His pursuit of good health/

Through the enclave of wealth/

Was regrettably misunderstood..///

He won’t make the same mistake/

That these geezers are watching him make/

He will not jog again/

When four uniformed men/

Have given his kneecaps a break.

Good heavens, would you look at Bessie! She’s . . . she’s showing her ankles!!!

“Surely he’s not going to remove that last…….oh…..oh, dear.”

Myrtle figured while everyone was checking out the new Amazon delivery guy she could get yesterday’s chicken out of her wooden tooth.

“He’s still got most of his teeth! What a hunk!”

Chippendale visit day at the Home.

A memo to Fräulein Becker:

We see that you’re a homewrecker.

For unclothed you have posed,

With your curtains not closed,

And cavorting Herr Pëcker!

From Herr Pôcker she picked up a pox/

You can see it each time she de-frocks:/

An affliction transmissible:

Makes his strange “hobby”visible:/

He’s philanders among the flocks..

Everything stopped when Bob Ross painted those “happy little trees”!

Didn’t know such a thing exists

Bob forgot to put on his pants … again.

Hickory, Dickory, Dock, er / Fräulein Becker loves Herr Pôcker / She forgot her pill / and fell suspiciously “ill” / She now needs a family doctor.

And with a swing of her hips…….

Woman on the left: “Move your head, Hulga – I can’t see.”

That “Hawaiian Bud” was a LOT stronger than any of them were expecting.

Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3227 (November 27, 2023) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger, if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. Only work by him used here so far.

No one ever admitted to dirtying the picture window day after day, but what really mystified Clint was their insistence that the only way to a streak free and clean window was a firm policy of only wearing a speedo while cleaning.

the ladies at shady pines love it when it’s male strip day.

Can you believe how much Gray Poupon he used?

“Haven’t they ever heard of curtains?”

I’ve worked in an assisted living center; the Golden Bachelor is on too late. Now, when the ‘Price is Right’ theme comes on…

For tomorrow:

Mother frustrates her daughter’s throw/

With a move every woman should know/

It’s a trick that she learned /

In the years when she earned/

Her keep teaching tae kwon do.

It’s a fact known to only a few/

ThatCassatt twas an expert, too/

And exceedingly partial/

To the arts they call “martial”/

Her favorite being kung fu…
