Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for May 20, 2024

Shirley she’s crazy

whatever she used, hope it’s alright.

A threat to be met with direct contact with the eye by her right fist.

Unless I am much mistaken, she appears to be putting ice cubes into a cloth napkin. That could certainly be construed as an impromptu ice pack for Perry’s shiner. Regrets perhaps?

Shirley sharpens her fingernails. At any given time in Ballard there are people wearing eye patches.

Shirley nails Perry in the eye with an ice cube. That’s cold!

Like fighting fire with fire,

… Shirley fights direct eye contact with direct eye contact.

Dating after 65 is not without its hazards.

Yeah, Perry’s wife Shirley does not take direct eye contact between Perry and Linda, passively.

Now, back away slowly, maintaining eye… No, wait! Perry! I mean…

Perry needs to learn to Parry.

And she will pelt you with ice cubes.

Perry moves slowly, but Shirley knows he’s there.

Shirley is one of those ladies that needs to be bagged. Had Perry slipped a bag over Shirley’s head he would still have both eyes.

Good morning Balladeers!

Serves him right for asking her to make him a Dirty Shirley with a little Hanky Panky on the side.

And DON’T disturb her while she is picking nits out of her hair.

well, ain’t that a poke in the eye…?

At least she didn’t go full Medusa on him and turn him to stone…

How is Perry just learning this now?

Good evening, Ballard Dears!

“Don’t call me Shirley”
