That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 28, 2024

/// All night long, with the damask drapes drawn,

tense Iola sat, stifling a yawn.

She remained fully dressed

in her haute couture best.

He’s not here yet, and now it is Dawn.

There’s Mr. Jones Sneaking next door to the Widow Jones for Saturdays service call. Think his wfe suspects?

((“Off with his clothes again.”))

“All dressed up and no place to go.”

Wow! I’d be there already!

His Lordship is out with his mates-/

An assembly of reprobates/

All “jolly good fellows/

Who carouse in bordellos:/

It’s one of their least charming traits..///

She knows he’ll be drunk when he comes/

From an evening spent in the slums/

She’ll help him to bed/

Where he’ll sleep like the dead:/

To be blunt – he belongs with those bums..///

He was “born with a silver spoon”./

But he may run through all of it soon/

For wealth that’s inherited/

May well be unmerited/

His Lordship will sleep until noon.

His Lordship was born to vex:/.

But her situation’s complex:/

He’s a wastrel at best/

But tonight she feels blessed/

For it at least he does not demand sex…

Waiting by the back window for the delivery guy to secretly bring her “fabulous homemade Turkey” for today’s guests

She could not understand why her Only Fans account wasn’t getting subscribers.

“I said, ‘If only some handsome man would come take me away from this drudgery!’ Blast, this always works in my romance novels!”

♪ ♫ “Someday my Prince will come!”♫♫

I like her dress.

“He is always late when I am dressed for action.”

hopefully he likes his turkey well done

She longed to be out catching greased pigs.

I’ve added a comment there pointing to the info about this artist I used to point to here. So far, first work by him used here.

Dry dry, my bird is dry. Dry is my bird. Oh why and oh why.

she has been looking out the window for a few months, but no one is comming , never give up hope

“I hope they get here before the sun goes down. I can’t sit in the good light forever.”

No one had the heart to tell her that dyslexic Tom wrote down her address incorrectly, and had visited the neighbors.

Alicia would order on Amazon just to see the UPS man in his little brown shorts…

For November 29th:

/// Ev’ry weekday a “Priceless” release.

For some holidays, new entries cease.

On Thanksgiving this year,

a new “Priceless” was here,

yet Black Friday there’s no Masterpiece?

Unfortunately for Bernice, the overnight Amazon delivery she requested won’t exist for another century.

“Thirty minutes, or less, they said. It’s been over an hour, and that pizza still isn’t here!”
