Charley

In his bib overalls, Charley looked like the good old farm-boy stereotype. Somehow I doubt that. He was pretty well-fixed. He was one of those who just lets his intelligence sneak up on you. A new woman moved in and Charley was attracted to Shelly.

Shelly, a jeans-wearing man-hater, played Charley like a trout. She collected several dinners and some valuable jewelry, including a double-eagle gold necklace, before she reeled her hook back in - without Charley.

He said he moved out because of the food. I think it was probably because Shelly had left a sour taste in his mouth.

These are wonderful little word portraits. As another person being the fight against "geezerdom," I salute you.
And thanks for the visit to my place.
