My bud Marty - by Kelvin and Paul

The story is inspired by the stories Kelvin used to make up for his two girls back home. When they were a lot younger he used to create “Ruff Stories” every night just before they went to bed. Ruff was a cute little brown dog whose name was Ruff because he would always say “ruff ruff”. Ruff always had run-ins with the milkman, which made for pretty good stories which the girls loved. Here we don’t have a little dog and we don’t have a milkman, we only have Marty and Me.

Marty and Me

There once was a man named Marty, He is a nice man, I like Marty.

Marty is married to a lady named Heather, Heather is a nice lady, I like Heather.

Marty likes to talk so he decided he should be a minister, that way everyone has to listen to him. I like the way Marty talks. I would listen to Marty.

One day Marty decided to go to Cambodia, I like Marty. He is fun to be with so I went too. I like to be with Marty.

Marty is going to have to work hard in Cambodia so he had to learn how. I think he has learned really good. Marty like to hit walls with a big hammer, it takes him lots of hits but the walls do fall down. I like the way Marty swings the big hammer.

Marty is good at painting. Sometimes there is more paint on Marty than the wall but that’s okay, I think it makes Marty look better. I like the way Marty paints.

After work Marty is all dirty, I don’t like being with Marty when he is all dirty and stinky.
When dinner comes Marty is all clean again, I like going to dinner with Marty.

Marty eats a lot of funny things, I don’t like bangers and mash, but Marty does, he can have them all.

Marty likes to be in pictures, especially my pictures. Marty usually has a funny look on his face in my pictures. Somehow I have lots of pictures of Marty but that’s okay, I like Marty and we have become best buds.

P.S. Marty, looking at spending more time with you and Heather once back in Canada.
