firewood for wife seduction


Trade firewood for successful wife seduction.

Now, does this person HAVE firewood, and wants his wife seduced? Or does he WANT firewood, and is willing to seduce a wife to get it? And does “successful” modify “wife” or “sed…

You know what? I don’t care. I don’t like ANY of those options.

Thanks for the link, Katherine!

    As if life needed more ambiguity <sigh>
    Use of “wife” singular, to my thinking, suggests against this being a would-be Lothario lacking kindling.

    Instead, it suggests–to me–an exhausted Lumberjack with a spouse underwhelmed by the unchanging grandeur of the mighty Fir, the Scot’s Pine, the Larch . . .

    But, such observations are always colored by our own foci, and I am spent, exhausted in mind and body, and with little prospect for rest over the too-short weekend.

    That, and I’m just not willing to think about what, in sparkii, was auto-corrected into “successful wife seduction” . . .
    (“sympl Wales succotash” perhaps?)

          Well, if a person follows string theory, what seems to be lines can also be spatial plane intersections. A corner is merely one sort of spatial intersection. After one accepts–mouse-like–six or seven spatial dimensions, as line can be a corner. And a corner can be a line.

          Which is why cats watch walls–it’s to see the lines in the corners with the mice. solving for f(x) where x = 42.

          (Considers, then rejects japery involving membranes, naughty humans, corners, and concurrent activities requiring a corner)

        The chieftan threw a party way down in the dell.
        The Barter Band was playing and were doing well.
        The band was banging on their rocks and on their wood.
        They were looking for a trade, and it was understood.

        This rock,
        Everybody, this rock.
        Everybody who’s willing to hawk.
        Just put it on the Craig List Rock.

        Og, he was wanting time with Oooga’s wife.
        The fairest cavegirl ever seen in all his life.
        Firewood’s a great deal, that I know for sure.
        I also have some special wood just for her.

        This rock.
        Everybody this rock.
        Everybody who’s willing to hawk.
        Just put it on the Craig List Rock.

        Oooga said to Og, “Yuh huh, that sound Good.”
        “You give me cave full of firewood.”
        “Oooga spend a couple nights all alone.”
        “When finish with wife call me on cell stone.”

        This rock.
        Everybody, this rock.
        Everybody who’s willing to hawk.
        Just put it on the Craig List Rock.

    Now, Sparky was a woodcutter in the hills of Tennesee.
    He made enough so he and his wife could live quite comfortably.
    His shack was nice and cozy with a little brown shack out back.
    He had a little lean-to where all of his wood was stacked.
    His wife was quite good looking, she had wavy hair of gold.
    Her ruby lips and curvy hips got him hot when it was cold.
    They made hot love upon the rug that lie upon the floor.
    He’d contemplate, “Hey, this is great. Who could ask for more?”
    She only had one tiny flaw which overrun his cup.
    She nagged him so incessantly, she never would shut up.

    “IneedanewdressandsomeshoestomatchandyounevertakemeanywherelikeouttoeatortoamovieorletmegoshoppingandIwouldlikemyveryownpuppyorakittybecauseyourhounddogbarksallofthetimeoohIbrokeanailandthatremindsmeIwantmymothertocomevisitnextmonthYouknowshe’sbeendyingtoseewhereweliveandweneedanewrugforthefloorlikeonewithapictureonitlikeastripeylionandhowaboutsomemorepicturesonthewallyouknowsomethingclassylikenaploneneandwecangetridofthosefingerpaintingsandthatgaudyrackmadeofdeerhoovesandwhenareyougoingtoshaveoffthatbeard?”
    Andyouneedtowashyourtrouserscuztheysmellalittlewierd.

    Sparky felt that all her talk was really hard to take.
    There was a proposition he decided he must make.
    He wrote this ad to make a deal, he had the extra wood.
    Would you please seduce my wife, I’ll thank you if you could.

    Now there’s a little moral here, I don’t know what it is.
    But someone took away his wife and the wood is no longer his.

    Some son of a beech is not poplar with swingers, so is seeking bigger wood on craigslist. I’ll go out on a limb and suggest that instead of resting on his laurels, Sparky has tried every “male enhancement” gimmick available and is branching out to other seduction scams since he can’t cedar forest for the trees. His last potential mate didn’t like being stalked, and got a restraining order to make him leaf her alone. Sparky is now looking for a new partner for kinky sex, but his bark is worse than his bite, so he is pining for a hunk of burning love.
