Billy the Kid was an outlaw,
in laws are more subtle in their approach,
so be sure to make checks.
They may have interesting features
like gothic architectural interiors,
but when familiarity takes hold
there is no knowing what may happen.
The only known cure is isolation
and banishment from the arena.
If none of this is possible
go vigilante, pack six guns
cheroot and spurs, never accept gifts
of towels saying his and hers.
Lovely play on words, and enjoyed the old, (not to me) joke.
Found ,by experience, that it is even more difficult to be, in particular, a mother in law. Keep up the goodwork, Jennifer
Thanks for reading and liking Holden.
Thanks Stephen A. I remember an old joke asking the difference between outlaws and inlaws, the answer being that outlaws are wanted. That was in the back of my mind!
Graham, I think there is often a sort of guardedness in mingling on the inlaw footing; sometimes a halo and a crucifix can help.
Glad you liked it !
I'm glad that worked for you Stephen G. It's that desire for a rhyming ending always has me trying.

Never was a truer line spoken than the last, Ray.
I think I've been lucky with my in-laws although we do keep them at arms length. A little but not too often. By the way this is clever stuff Ray.
Yip, outlaws & in laws, sure is little difference ? Nice one Ray.

Thanks Jennifer for your insider view on this. I like to be playful but often it's a matter of perspective!
