PASTOR JONES had served the Lord faithfully
For 50 Years ~ Just before his 70th birthday
GOD spoke to him. "Brother Jones ~ because
Of your Faithful Service I can grant you one
Desire on your Birthday ~ What would you like ?"
Well Lord he said ~ I've preached in 49 States
But I don't like to fly or sail ~ I would love to
Preach in Hawaii ~ could you build a Highway
From Los Angeles right through to HONOLULU ?
GOD thought of the cost and the hindrance to
Shipping and said "Brother Jones do you have
A Second Choice ?" Sure Lord ! I've had a fine
Wife for 40 Years ~ 3 Daughters ~ 7 G-daughters
And many fine Ladies in My Congregation ~ BUT
I've never understood LADIES ~ You made EVE
So you must know what makes A Lady ~ TICK !
GOD smiled and said "Brother Jones ~ about that
HIGHWAY to HAWAII ~ d'you want 4 lanes or 6 ? !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN
If your could have ONE DESIRE ~ what would it be ?
This Poem is dedicated to FRED PREYER ~ The
Man from HAWAII ~ Please check his Poem
yesterday on Hawaiian Music ~ Thanks BRIAN

Thanks for the chuckle Brian - I'm sure Fred will appreciate the highway.
THANKS MIKE ~ Pleased it gave you a "chuckle" ~ YES I'm sure FRED will like although HAWAIIAN AIRLINES have an 87% record for leaving and arriving on time ! Third in the top ten Aer Lingus were tenth with 84% ! Yours BRIAN
Michael, see my response to Brian below (Your name was mentioned)
Funny Brian! Thank you!
Thanks LORNA ~ The question about Ladies would be mine too ~ You are all so ELUSIVE ~ but I Love you all ! Hugs in the Spirit BRIAN
I'm laughing.... it's just that men take everything so literally. I used to ask my guy - when I was down - "do you love me" - and he would just get exasperated and say "I already TOLD you I did" - completely bewildered....... oh makes me laugh.....
Thanks LORNA ~ Yes Men are LITERAL ~ Ladies are MYSTICAL !
Where would we be ~ In a world without LADIES
Angelas ~ Lornas ~ Susys and Sadies ?
Gone is the Beauty ~ gone is the Grace
Who wants to kiss someone ~ with hair on their face ?
Gone is the Fashion ~ Cosmetics and Passion
I go to a BALL all the Lassies look cute
But each man identical ~ clad like his DAD
In BLACK ~ Mothballic ~ Penguin Suit !
To give MAN a chance for a Heart on his sleeve
In a rib tickling moment ~ GOD CREATED EVE ~ AMEN !
Thanks for your comment ~ BRIAN ~ An Eveophile !
Well you're an antidote to Mr. Trump..............
Still grinning at this one Brian - Fred will be over the moon. Ha ha - ladies could never be understood.
Thanks FAY ~ That my Divine Request too ! I guess GOD just made Ladies enigmatic ~ to keep us Men guessing and intrigued for the whole of our lives ! Yours inquisitive as ever BRIAN !
I have used that joke in a poem before. Thanks for a smile today Brian.
Thanks ANDY ~ Some jokes are even better ~ second time around ~ and this is ONE of THEM ! Yours BRIAN
A fine write Brian. Oh lol, I heard something similar to this. A bit of deja vu if it was exactly the same I heard!
WELL STEVE ~ It does highlight an impossible question that even GOD was stumped ! One of the problems arises from the fact that GOD (in his wisdom) gave MAN & WOMAN ~ Free Will ! We chaps know how to handle life and always think inside the box and are generally satisfied with LIFE ! BUT LADIES ~ always outside the box ~ in terms of fashion ~ music ~ food ~ men and very very hard to satisfy. Because of this you can never predict ~ WHICH WAY THEY WILL JUMP ! I guess that's why we love them so much ~ and miss them so much when they're not around ! It sure is Ladies that make the World go round ! Yours BRIAN
Brian (and Michael), yes Fred does appreciate the highway. Heard that joke a long time ago though. But it is still funny. Men will never understand women, but if you love them you don't have to understand them!!! 🙂
Thanks FRED ~ I did appreciate it was not an original one ! When I first heard it ~ It was the concept that even GOD did not fully understand Ladies to give Pastor Jones a definitive answer so he opted for the Highway to Hawaii instead ! I flew from Auckland New Zealand to get there ! Thanks BRIAN ~ I hope you liked the Picture ! The two main things I found in Hawaii were Charm & Hospitality ~ so i tried to illustrate them in the Picture ~ OK ~ Yours BRIAN
Put's me in mind of the retort I've heard more - than once not that I prescribe to it: He only made two sexes and he still got one of them wrong!!
I also sometimes think that women don't understand men - thankfully Jeanne and I don't have any of those sort of problems.
Mio Caro Amico BRIAN,
Questa poesia mi ha fatto
ridere! Le Donne vogliono
essere amate senza
essere capite!
Enjoyed this poem very
much! It really made me
laugh! Grazie!
Un Forte Abbraccio e Baci...

I liked this write, it made me smile! I suppose you men will just have to keep guessing! LOL Good one. Sisterly hugs--Christina
THANKS CHRISTINA ! Pleased you enjoyed it ! The last part of your comment reminded me of the song "Why can't Women be more like Men ?" You do keep us guessing and often Angela surprises me with her choices and responses ! Brotherly Hugs ~ BRIAN @@@@@@@
