Magpie's Minute Monarch

Size matters.




















Attracting both brunettes and blondes,
This minute mon-arch, so rotund,
Has under his suit
A large attribute;
Ten billion in bullion and bonds!

PS. Tiz in dry dock, We are so busy sanding and painting, no time for posts. Photos and stories to come.

    Hope you are ready to be plucked from the deck of Tiz ... tonight is the Willow Manor Ball. I have promised to have you back on deck by midnight!!

    I'll pass on the billions, take the large attribute!

    Diminutive and rotund but he's sure loaded. Should be attractive to those taken up with such ambitions! Excellent offering, Stafford!
