Just like the famous
Welsh singer Tom Jones —
my dad fancied himself
the hardest-working man in show business.
***
Except he wasn’t
in show business
***
But that was of
little concern.
***
And when dad would
grill burgers
in the backyard.
he’d gather us all
together nearby
and we’d throw
panties at him.
***
“Thank you, thank you,” he’d say.
“I’ll be back soon. I gotta chop some onions”
Madame: “Waiter, there’s a G-string in my hotdog…”
Waiter: “Don’t worry, Madame, it’s only the Tom Jones sauce.”
Haha Thanks, Ford
Well, why wouldn’t you?
These things must be done. Thanks, Mick
[…] The voice — t r e f o l o g y […]
Thanks, David
Did your father ever invite Albert Finney and Susannah York to the backyard party?
They had an open invitation, Thanks, David
It’s not unusual to have fun with anyone,
It’s not unusual to throw panties at anyone? (Maybe that was the real lyric?)
Well, if they are not the real lyrics then they should be. Thanks, MM
All hail Tom, all hail Trefology!
Hip Hip! Thanks, 1537
Was Don Rickles there, reading a paper, and did Jerry enjoy the prime rib?
I will let Don and Jerry field that question. Thanks, B
Good heavens…….
Thanks, Don
🤪😂
Thanks, Sadje
You’re welcome
Makes sense 😀
It does though doesn’t it? Thanks, Basilike
Grilling is a kind of art, isn’t it? 😀
I thought so. Thanks, B
🙂
:D I did not expect that ending.
Then I have done my job. Thanks, Chel.
At first I thought you said “patties,” and I thought, what a waste of good hamburger meat. But “panties,” well, as Tom would say, “It’s not unusual.”
Haha Thanks, Mitch
It’s not unusal…no
No. Not so much. Thanks, Janny!

My thoughts, verbatim. Thanks, E Sum
The nuts don’t fall very far from the tree. :)
I absolutely knew that last line was coming… :)
Me, too! Thanks, C
What an honor! Your father’s chest must have swelled while the cotton rained down…
The consummate professional my dad just kept on grilling. Thanks, E
Gross! Haha. Terrible.
Haha “Gross” is my go-to word. So elementary school but so perfect in some situations. Thanks, B
It covers a lot of ground in five letters. :)
It sounds as if you had a great childhood
I did. It was a little like the film Big Fish, if you have ever seen it. Thank you, Linda
LoL. Good one that went in an unexpected direction.
Thank you, Equip and sorry for the lateness of my reply.
Not a problem.
