I thought I’d go with a reprise of something seasonal for this week. I hope you enjoy it because if you don’t, it will cheese me off. This one was from December 2012.
********************
My first thought was someone at the end of life thinking of all the choices made, one inside each door. However, something ran amok inside my head and what emerged was a riff on that idea. Or maybe just riff-raff. Who can say?
The Big Cheese
Or
The Gjetost of Christmas Past
His mind wandered. So many choices throughout his life. Not all perfect, but he was satisfied. Head of Dewey, Cheatum and Howe, Attorneys-at-Law, (plural intentional but deceptive—no other power here), people averted their gazes when he passed, feared him. Life was good!
A knock.
“Enter.”
“A Mr. Gjetost to see you.” Fat Tim, AKA“Tiny”, handed him a card, departing silently but for his limp.
What the dickens? This guy’s a Norwegian cheese? Ebenezeer scrutinized the card. Mr. G. H. Ost. Tim and names! Wonder what this guy wants?
“Mr. Ost, how may I help you?”
“Au contraire, Mr. Skruge…”
LOL! 😀 Thanks for starting my day off with a laugh!
My pleasure. Thanks for readying and getting it, Marian.

Very nice, Janet. You made me smile – always welcome.
Good. That was my evil plan, so I’m glad it worked. Enjoy the weekend, Dan.
Hehe! Don’t underestimate Mr. G.H. Ost.
🙂 Thanks for reading and commenting, jan.
