“Wot?” first thought on my mind
From British television finds
It’s probably cliche
Stereotypical English play
I find it humorous all the same
Liking comic games.
“What is up” is common here
Everyone asking, “should I fear?”
Fates now in treacherous hands, “tis clear.

Quadrille #212: What the What?
I know, he’s not an ordinary guy
And some of you are asking why
I have such a need
For this unusual pet, indeed
It was not my original intent
I was having a jaunt under trees and went
Too close to the stream’s wood-strewn edge
And decided to rest on a loggy ledge
The ledge was not a log at all
And suddenly flipped me near a rocky wall
I stood up quickly, looked and found
The log was moving close to my ground
I shrieked of course, who would not
And then the creature came right to my spot
Softly he took that enormous snout
And started stroking my foot on about
I bent down looked in its eyes
They seemed caring and even wise
I know you won’t believe my story
But here’s the proof in all its glory!

Reflective Night
It wasn’t a smart choice—those jalapeño poppers were hot! She discreetly spit it into a napkin and pushed it through a refuse slot. She was in no hurry to meet the bus tonight. It must be a sign, maybe I need some proper clarity on exactly how old I am, the days of hanging out after work with a few people, as I recall, were free of care; being single and if you had one beer too many, a friend was always there to drive you home. The honesty of those times came flooding back as she walked the rest of the way to the bus. I guess I need to prepare myself that now I need a “pop” from the double shot latte at the coffee shop.

MLMM Monday Wordle #398
From NPR:
“An NPR investigation revealed that a VA home loan program intended to assist veterans ended up forcing thousands into high-cost mortgages. Documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act indicate that at least 1,300 veterans faced monthly payment increases of over 50%. While a rescue plan being rolled out by the Department of Veterans Affairs is now being implemented, it excludes many who require assistance.”

There once a woman named Jess
Her love life was always a mess
She picked the worst guys
And never knew why
Personality woes…my guess.

The school board was a woeful mess
Angry with the low scores of tests
The parents were mad
The grades were so bad
Caused teachers to drink to excess.

Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Writer’s Choice*
I use this Colorado photo for both Veteran’s and Memorial Day. The graves surrounding my granddaughter are family members who served in World War II, Korea and Vietnam era. My husband’s five uncles all served at the same time. My veteran family members are in New England sites. Whether serving now or in the past, we all have a deep appreciation and respect for military service people.
