Fast forward about 25 years,
Yes, it's true, Chris did not leave Chrisanne in tears.
You see the man was not an idiot afterall!
Once all the "teapotters" got to Boston, it was so crowded, Chris lost his footing and began to fall.
All the "tea" and "teapots" landed on Chris as he hit the wall.
UP he jumped like he was on fire and finished his crossword puzzle just under the wire.
Chris and Chrisanne were married that day-all the "teapotters" gave the bride away!
Soon after, Chris bought them a house, you see Chris turned out not to be such a dumb louse.
In our honor, all they drink is "tea" and they lived happily ever after because of you and me!
Thought I would never get to Boston and make it in time, but here I am card, story, and rhyme!

LOL at your 5 for difficulty, I think we've all been there. That's such a fun image with the doctored newspaper, and a totally perfect card. And what's wrong with a bit of forward time travel when we were stuck back in 1901 for a couple of days.

Well, what a fun end to a serious situation. So glad you arrived in the nick of time, though. You got to be one of the 42,000 tea partiers that fell on good ole Chris. See, you had faith in him; I, on the otherhand, thought he was way too good for Chrisanne. See that!

Too funny! I love your version of this story - happily ever after is a super cool thing. I really like your cartoon and the puzzle with "tea" in it. Great job.
