Weekend Writing Prompt #363 – Cabinet
(Lawyer’s comment in court of law)
Standing up in court
Stands a fool
Got his lawyer
From the available pool
He was guilty, there was no doubt
But thought a lawyer would figure out
Ways to get a sympathetic connection
To the judge by always saying “jection!”
The judge surprised, at this lack of decorum
Felt sorry for the guilty party’s forum
“Your OBjection,” the judge declared
“Was inappropriate and your client is spared…
Such flagrant use of an important word
Your client should fire you for being absurd!“

Loan me your ears she might have said
Her graduation “speech” was a thing of dread
It was her private lone compilation
Words offered as a declaration
Of personal regards to her every family member
No connection to the ceremony whatsoever
And then came a reader of the grad’s names
She must have been on some slowed down game
Dragging the names out in long succession, so maudlin
Then watched slowly for every grad’s master stoles they were cloaked in
I’m only glad I’m not there in person
Couldn’t stand it- would be worsen🙄

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS May 11, 2024
What makes traditional Mexican fare worthy of such a distinction? You won’t find cumin soaked ground beef, hard shell tacos topped with iceberg and cheddar. But, you will find lamb barbacoa that has been smoked underground in banana leaves or carnitas topped with queso fresco, pickled onions and homemade salsa verde wrapped in a warm homemade corn tortilla that has been ever so lightly heated on a comal. And Puebla, just so happens to be considered by many, including Rick Bayless and Mark Bittman, as the gastronomic capital of Mexico.

The Unicorn Challenge-10/05/24
Lovely to look at
Delightful to hold
But stay a while
And your blood runs cold
A con man for sure
Has a certain allure
Especially for women
Some whose minds are unsure
But they swarm around him likes flies to honey
And he silently takes them for all of their money
This tale would be sweet if it added revenge
Sadly no women would report this man.
