Close to Home by John McPherson for January 09, 2023

Sounds like a good offer. You gonna take him up on it ?

I got permission from your dad…he said okay and wasn’t mad…he said please take her off our hands, she does have a solid plan. I promise to get rich from verse, and after all, you could do worse. please say yes and don’t think twice’ll, say you will be Mrs. Gisel!

She’s thinking, “This Doctor needs to see a Doctor!”

Let us get married, too long we have tarried!!!

There’s a small but yellow bug by your leg, it’s a small strange yellow bug, I beg.

Smash the yellow bug, oh wait! Gee I hope it’s not too late.

It is not a bug, it’s our alien Bleeb. Now I verily, but most rarely, feel like a dweeb.

This comic is close to home.

After many times of saying “No” as in, “I will not have our wedding on a train, or on a boat, or even on a plane …”, she eventually said, “I would and I could marry you. And I would and I could be your wife for eternity. And I’d have our wedding on a train, or on a boat, or even on a plane. And I’ll go with you here or there. I’ll go with you anywhere. I do so love you, Theodor, my man – ‘Mrs. Seuss’ will be who I am”

Ooooh the places we can plan…

Hang in there honey, here we gooooooooooooo

Continental Breakfast…Green eggs and Ham‼️

Hurry, hurry, don’t be slooooow, ‼️

Did it bother anyone else that the little “green eggs and ham” guy wouldn’t leave that poor fellow alone. Pretty stalk-y if you ask me.

Well, I’ll drink my wine, give it some time, and I’ll finish my meal and we’ll see, if you might make a good husband for me

That ones not very good at rhyming…

I will not marry you Jane I am,

I will not marry you though I can.

I will not marry you on a train,

I will not marry you on a plane,

I will not marry you on a boat,

I will not marry you for a goat,

I will not have sex with you in a blue lagoon,

I will not marry you, you crazy buffoon.

He made enough money to keep all his promises also ….

Wrong chair Bleeb.

And once she accepted, they celebrated with a festive dinner of green eggs and ham.

How can any woman resist that?

Dr. Seuss used many nonsensical words and strange names for various destinations.

A favorite of mine was the book “I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew”

The best lines were at the end:

“But I’ve bought a big bat. I’m all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!”

I remember seeing Blue Lagoon and I don’t think Dr. Seuss endorsed it.

It would have been really funny if he opened up that ring case and it was Bleeb in there.

Well, I’m glad she was articulate enough to understand words that had more than 3 letters!

“I think you’re a clown, so I must turn you down1”

The poor guy has the worst case of lockjaw I eve saw,

Priceless. Bravo, John and @ronaldspence, too!

Great! Now do Frank Sinatra! [sings] It’s perfect for a flying honeymoon, they say! Come fly with me, come fly — pack up! Let’s fly away!
