A Story with a Lot of Spice
"You may want to read this one with a grain -- or a ton -- of salt!"
Afar off in the land of TARRAGON lived a young handsome fellow named BASIL. He had a friend named Gar who was a boxer. Every week our young hero went with the townsfolk to watch his friend GARLIC every opponent he faced. They would travel out into the countryside to find as PARSLEY inhabited a place as possible and there they would set up a ring, and stage the boxing matches.
lt was here that our hero met ROSEMARY. Rosy was a beautiful, brilliant aristocrat of the CARAWAY SEED. Now I know this doesn’t sound like a very likely matchup. . .an aristocrat’s daughter and a peasant’s son, now does it?
But there she was, bored and looking really rejected. BASIL saw her and slid through the crowd to her side. He just knew he had to get to know this lovely lass with beautiful blue eyes and CINNAMON colored hair.
So, he MUSTARD up all the nerve he could so he could talk to her. He just had to PEPPER up a little bit. He said "That’s my friend in the ring. I’d say he’s pretty good for his ‘SAGE, wouldn’t you agree?"
And that started a relationship that has lasted a long, long THYME. This report was turned in to us by an old reporter... PAP RIKA.
