DOMESTIC TIP

 

How do you turn on the dishwasher?

My friend asked me

I replied that in my house

Blowing in her ear was the key

HOUSE CALL

“How long have you been bedridden?”

The visiting doctor asked

The patient replied “well certainly not

Since my husband passed”

FOOD GROUPS

 

There are six food groups

When it comes to my kitchen

Canned, Boxed and Bagged

Jarred, Bottled and Frozen

A LOVING ATMOSPHERE

 

A loving atmosphere, at home,

Is such an important thing

A tranquil harmonious home

Is vital to your well being

Do all you can to create one

By not having offspring

MY DOCTOR SAYS

 

My doctor says

I have been incontinent,

But I don't know

 

I can’t remember

But if the doctor is right

Then where did I go?

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – THE PUBLIC ENEMY (1931)

 

“The Public Enemy” is a Crime Drama, Written by Kubec Glasmon, John Bright and Harvey F. Thew and Directed by William A. Wellman.

The movie is the story of best friends and fellow gangsters, Tom Powers and Matt Doyle (James Cagney and Edward Woods).

However, their lives are frowned upon by Tom's straight-laced brother, Mike (Donald Cook), and Matt's straight laced sister, Molly (Rita Flynn).

Nonetheless the hoodlums rise up through the ranks of the Chicago underworld, from their teen-aged years into young adulthood, and have an increasingly lucrative life, bootlegging during the Prohibition era.

Tom in particular becomes more and more brazen in what he is willing to do and becomes more violent against those who stand in his way, disagree with him or cross him, until a gangster's accidental death threatens to spark a bloody mob war.

Also in the line-up are Robert Emmett O'Connor as Paddy Ryan and Joan Blondell as Mamie.

The most famous scene is of course, Cagney smashing a grapefruit into the face Mae Clarke (Jean Harlow), but there is a lot more to this film than that.

ARE YOU WEARING ROMAN ROBES?

 

Are you wearing Roman robes?

They’re very loose and flowing

And they fit where they touch

Without any detail showing

Which keeps a man guessing

I really like that about them

Because it’ll be a surprise later
