Comment from Brad Bennett
Now how in the heck did we manage an 8-8 tie. Had to find out and read it yours. I could see I was lucky to manage that. Great humourous little story, well told Texas style. I Lived in Texas myself for 20 years and met a few younger Sams. But when the economy went to pot in Dallas back in the late seveties I had to leave for up north. Still a Cowboy fan though, I miss that for sure.

well, I just read your story and found the romance charmingly unlikely! Am honored to be tied with you. Hope you're enjoying the frozen North ;)

Beautiful weather right now. :>)
Comment from lyenochka
This was a very cute ballad style story poem. And the romance almost started off on the wrong foot. Seems like Sal knew the way to Sam's heart and probably would accept his schnoz. Funny she didn't recognize him until he put up his bandana. Enjoyed the story and hope you did well in the contest!

Thank you and pardon my making such a mess of this. I thought I had offended you, maybe by being short with you, or something. Certainly didn't mean to. Aarrgghh! foot in mouth disease.

what a delightful comment! Thanks so much!
Comment from Susan Newell
I delightfully humorous account of finding romance when least expected and almost rejected. I liked it when Sal saw Sam through only his eyes. Chili, corn bread and cole slaw is one of my easy "go to" meals. I'm sure Sal found the way to Sam's heart through his stomach. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from LisaMay
Your romance about the old biddy, Sal, thinking that Sam is more appealing with a mask over his face reminds me of jokes about men only able to have it off with a plain woman if she's got a bag over her head (sorry to be crass). Yours is more humorously delivered... good use of dialogue.

well, apparently she saw past his nose and he, her biddyness. ;) Maybe good cookin' and a companion did the trick.
thanks for reading and for your comments.

That sounds like a nicely balanced relationship, win-win.
Comment from lancellot
It was a nice short story in poetic form and I think many members will found it sweat, given the assumes ages of the characters. The romance was very light, but that too would appeal to our members.
I think you have a winner.
