The Bag Lady

The actor could not fix the drape

A custom-made Dracula cape

The fabric stubbornly stayed

The way it was wrongly made

Said, “I told you to use the crepe!”

Relay that message, Corporal!

But sir, isn’t that against the supreme leader’s instructions?

I said, relay that message, am I not clear?

But, but, it’s defying a direct order!

Okay Corporal, get me a private over here to do what I asked!

The Corporal walked begrudgingly over to the platoon.

Can You Tell A Story In…

fresh water coming down

hello old green moldy one

bright green ferns a gift for you

while children play on colorful boards

under your watchful tutoring

not too deep, warm, just right

purple lichen add to this charm

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #080

Imagine if you had some pride

President T by your side

Every word he says is a lie

You’re standing there, but want to hide

He glances with a look so snide

His speech with pressure plied

No longer can you abide…him!

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS April 4, 2026

I’m the chairman of the board

Don’t think of me as master or lord

I’ll rule as honestly as I can

Every day of my four year span

Ignore men in uniform with guns

They won’t bother you or your little ones

They simply want to keep the peace

If taken you’ll soon be released

It’s a check for skin I like

No black or brown, only white

After you’re checked may be detained

I’m chairman and it is my reign

Uh, excuse my language, and it’s content

I’m only the president.
