Maas Clemmy ... Some Jamaican men in their old age seem to have little or nothing because they did not focus on one home, one family. The more the merrier, but in the end, "Dog who have too many yard sleep a street". - File photos

Every story has two sides to it
Dear Robert:
I was reading your article today with Mass Clemmy, I must say it was pretty good. I have never heard a man talk like that, but I am not surprised.
Anyway, I hope you will not heed his advice because, to every story and concept, there are two sides: positive and negative, his and hers. Love can be wonderful, just like passion can be, but without fire and spark it's nothing.
All the best and keep up the good work.

An article well put together
Dear Roberta:
I have been reading your articles for awhile and your story 'Woman is my downfall', gave me reason to write to you. I think the article was well put together, and Mr. Clemmy, well, he is another story. I did love reading it and I have gotten other co-workers to read it, and I must say I am still laughing. Well done.
Yours truly

Not all women bring bad luck
Dear Robert:
Your stories keep putting a smile on my face. I just read the one about Maas Clemmy a couple minutes ago and I think he just needs to forgive, forget and move on. Don't take his advice, not all women bring bad luck.
Thanks for the hope.

Everyone makes mistakes in life
Dear Robert:
I came upon your article 'Woman is my downfall' and found it quite interesting. I personally feel sorry for Mass Clemmy. Everyone makes mistakes in life and he is no exception.
I would love to hear the other side of the story, there's always two sides. I get the impression he reads well. I would love to write to him and give him some words of encouragement.
Thanks and continue to keep up the good work. God bless.

A tale of many Jamaican men
Dear Robert:
Your article is quite entertaining and gave me great laughter as I read Mass Clemmy story. Poor Mass C. He has no idea what happened to him, and so he blames his lady. Entertainment costs money, and entertaining many different women means more money spent in comparison to having one woman.
This is the tale of many Jamaican men. In their old age they seem to have little or nothing because they did not focus on one home, one family. The more the merrier, but in the end,"Dog who have too many yard sleep a street".
Please tell Maas C. the story about the young one boy in the village who was the only person who caught a bear for the winter. Got the skin to make his coat, and being the only one that would have a new coat, everyone began telling him how the tailor should cut the skin (I won't go into the details).
In the end the boy had no coat as one side was short, one side long, one side had no sleeve.
Maas Clemmy seems to have done well when he had one woman. Poor Clemmy.
What a plight.
This was fun.

Mi look forward to yuh story dem and when mi nuh see dem inna di paper mi get upset, so what mi stawt fi do is save dem, so mi can read dem anytime mi feel like.
Man keep writing, mi think some a dem yah story jus need fi go pon stage and dem woulda be a box office hit ... Mi woulda like fi play di role of the woman dat stone Maas Clemmy house.
Fun and joke aside, in all fairness to di owman yuh need to go see her an hear her version of the story.
Mi deh yah a wait pon it. Because if Maas Clemmy was
living wid di woman so long why him jus get up and lef her so? Anyways, mi granny use to tell mi dat "Tan an see nuh poil dance, is interferance maash it up". (So careful, she might have some stones put dung.)
Anyways, mi gone cook some curry yah now. Mi will ketch up wid yuh soon. Until then keep di stories going.
Peace an love.
