Once upon a time I thought I would have children with the woman of my dreams who would grow old with me.

Once upon a time I would have had a Rolls Royce or at least a Mercedes.

Once upon a time I would have lived in a city where I could ride subways
and subscribe to the opera.

Once upon a time I would have never believed in dragons.

Purely for amusement, of course

As a friend tells it, she and a cousin were visiting a carnival in another town and, on a whim, decided to have a palm reading done at a fortuneteller’s booth.

Once they were under way, the psychic looked puzzled. “I have to ask,” she said, hesitantly. “Are you a prostitute?”

Initial shock passing, came the reply, “No, why?”

“Because I see you surrounded by men.”

Ahh! Not so off the mark after all.

“I had to tell her I work at the pier and am surrounded by longshoremen.”

I’m filing this under Local Color.
