That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for September 10, 2021

While Jane was busy reaping, Billy was getting ready to sow.

It’s a rural triangle, you know; / dark-haired Faye, her beau Jake, and blonde Jo. / They were all making hay / with the tools owned by Faye. / Jake (the rake) was seen with Jo (the hoe).

After years of indecision, while wearing their period costumes at the Riverdale Founders Festival, Archie finally chose Betty over Veronica.

Hey! When the weather is hot and sticky is no time for dunkin’ dicky.

As usual. Whenever there is a team project, there is always one person who does all the work, while the others spend the whole time flirting.

Hey Eunice, when I said “Grab your rake” I wasn’t talking about Reginald the Suave!

“The Rake’s Progress”

If you think that I ain’t bakin’/ to be stuck doing all of the rakin’/ and that you won’t pay dearly/ I tell you sincerely, /my dear, you are badly mistaken..

A rake, a hoe, and a tool.

“Great now I have to share a canvas with these two. I was a solo 3 days ago.” (same model from the 7th)

making hay while the sun shines…

OK, I’ll do ANYTHING to get out of raking the leaves.

A story often told—Martha and Mary and some guy named Caleb.

She had hoped to be part of a trio/ a trio performing con brio/ but the stench she exudes/ completely precludes/ her inclusion/ she suffers from B.O.

Go back where you were born.

A moment replete with felicity/ in their vacuous void of rusticity/ is doomed to undoing/ for trouble is brewing:/ she takes a dim view of duplicity.

Well, well, well, now it’s Judy’s turn to cry.

Milton was a pickpocket from London, but soon realized Eunice had no pockets.

Or at least a haystack.

Laverne couldn’t understand why Mr. Roper kept letting Shirley leave work early to “talk business” with him. She knew the business BETTER than Shirley.

“It doesn’’t have to be a quickie – I gave Eunice the tiny rake!”

Olivia noticed their move to Arkansas was starting to affect her brother and sister.

Veronica, having overheard Archie and Betty discussing a post-six week abortion, is already imagining what she’ll buy with the $10,000 in snitch money she’ll get for turning in her friends.

Janice realized Roland was doing more than bringing in than the sheaves with Candice.

Can we finish raking the forest before the fire gets here!

or at least a haystack

Hey! When you cheat on me behind my back, you’re not supposed to be so literal.

When she saw how Paul was attempting to woo Valentina, she had an inspiration for where to store her rake..

“No, no, no! THIS is how you roll the hay!”

It’s to be expected. Two girls dressed in their Saturday night clothes while they rake up straw (I guess that’s what they’re raking).

i know she is a hard worker but could she just take off long enough for us to have a threesome? I’ll make it up to you tonight, she’s so lonely

Man: “Molly, please, let me smell your hair.”

Girl: “What? No. You think you’re the President or somethin’?”

Man: “Alright. Then may I hold your elbow?”

Girl: “Just for a minute. Maude is watching.”

Maude: “They’re not morons. They’re just painted that way.”

There will be no threesome until I finish my work!

That priest who read my palm was accurate! Yes, I’m between my 3rd and 4th husband right now! Ask Maisy up there; she knows.

The girls raced to rake hay just like sprinters. / After autumn come cold lonely winters. / When rakes they’d employ / in lieu of the boy. / (They were careful to watch out for splinters.)
