The END!

Whelp, here it is the final chapter to my junk. I am posting it here to review all of the comments that get left behind for me to read. After all of the dust has settled and I have gone through both of those comments I will decide whether or not to use this in my book. Thanks for reading.

The Reason

To my best friend and my love, Suzanne, without whom this book would not have been possible. Thank you for your support and believing in me. For you I am eternally grateful.

To my son, Kenny: What can I say kid, you have been a true inspiration to me and the epitome of perseverance.

To John: My biggest fan? Maybe not the biggest but certainly the most inspiring. We are so much alike that I sometimes wonder if our mommas were not the same, tough luck guy.

Finally to all of my fans without the six of you, your comments and following I do believe this book would have been more of a trudge than a journey.

The Rhyme

 Now that I am famous I think Momma and I may be able to finally afford that used double wide down at Dave's Used Trailers and Pawn.  Momma has sure earned the right to a life of luxury.  Momma's curb side modeling jobs have been rough and slow as of late, what with all of the competition from the younger class of GED graduates.  That GED college sure does produce some of the toughest competition that momma has ever seen.    They are willing to model for next to nothing and for some of the strangest jobs I have ever heard of.  Apparently hand models are in popular demand and run the cheapest, something like ten dollars for one of those hand jobs is the going rate these days.  Some of the GED college graduates must have diplomas in voice overs as I hear a lot of offers on the street for oral jobs as well, but those jobs bring in an extra ten dollars.  Then there are the offers for the real deal, what that means I do not know.  What I do know is that the going price for the real deal is closer to fifty bucks!  Momma works hard for her money but the those models with a GED diploma offer some pretty stiff competition.

As for me I think I will continue to write about momma and all of the drama that is our life here in the trailer park and local community.  The tales that have been spun in the preceding pages are from the heart and closer to the truth than fiction.  Can you believe that people actually find my accounts of life in the trailer park funny?  I don't know what planet those people are from, but they have to be crazy.  I always pictured my book to be in the same class as the Spoon River Anthologies, or Walden's Pond.  Now I am told that my tales are closer to the Truely Tasteless Jokes series and a bad episode of Benny Hill.  If I would have known that I was not going to be taken serious I don't know if I could have written about half of the the life events depicted here in.  As disappointed as I am with my reviews I must write on, but now I feel obligated to be funny, a task that seems nearly impossible for me.  I wonder what reviews the next book will get when I actually try to be funny?  Back to the drawing board as they say.

With all of the fame and fortune that is surely headed my way, I do believe that I will treat myself to a massage at the local spa.  I hear the "Happy Ending" is the package for me.  After that a double dip cone at the DQ.  Hell with all of this money I may even treat momma, after all she is the basis for my fame and fortune.  If she ever found out I was scribing about her....!!!!  that would be an interesting chapter.  Again, thanks to you all!

I love your writing and can't wait to see a book of yours in print. I am so glad you found Suzanne and life is looking up for you.

Enjoy that double wide, with momma. :D

P.S. I love how you started this out with 'The End'. Who, besides you, thinks to put a dedication page at the end of the book?

What? Only six comments? I see that my other two fans are dragging ass to get here!

JJ...Read my new profile...It says a little bit, never a lot.

The aa meetings are fun, I have learned all sorts of inovative new ways to drink. Now momma has to hide the vanilla extract and mouthwash!

Ivorwen...Pest is still single, the guy that writes about him is not! Can you imagine pest with a girlfriend...imagine her! Or read about her in
