Lately the ads are getting more obnoxious, more prevalent and more annoying. A poem or story is broken apart by them, losing flow and continuity, and that’s just the start! Ping backs are not working. In my case—of Linda’s One Liner Wednesday I had to re-sign into WP, leave all my info again and then hit post comment. It wouldn’t take so had to redo it. I follow a lot of blogs and this takes time. Then after having to repeat the process, it comes back saying the comment is a duplicate!
WordPress, get your act together!🤯
The butter was a rapidly melting mass on the filthy tabletop. It was a poor market offering that had been squandered here. Footprints of the person responsible could be well seen in the spilled flour, also now a poisoned mess accompanied by rat droppings. The detective hurried to open a window in order to send some of the putrid odors away. The woman’s body lay oddly draped over the stove. “What do you surmise, Sherlock”, the detective queried.

Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.
My favorite pair of shoes were mid high golden tan high heels. I bought them with my first paycheck from a job a started on my eighteenth birthday. They matched the beige pantyhose I wore and would go with any of my limited wardrobe. Slacks were not allowed then. As I think back I’m sure they were a transition symbol from teenager to adult in a tangible form. I wore them when I stepped on a nail and had to go to the ER. I wore them after I married and years later. The leather shoes were a good quality and lasted a long time.
A love song from Africa
I don’t know if this fits, but I like it😉☺️
o kodwa you zo-nge li-sa namhlange
(A-wa a-wa) si-bona kwenze ka kanjani
(A-wa a-wa) amanto mbazane ayeza
She’s a rich girl
She don’t try to hide it
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
He’s a poor boy
Empty as a pocket
Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose
Sing ta na na
Ta na na na
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
People say she’s crazy
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Well that’s one way to lose these
Walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She was physically forgotten
Then she slipped into my pocket
With my car keys
She said you’ve taken me for granted
Because I please you
Wearing these diamonds
And I could say ooh ooh ooh
As if everybody knows
What I’m talking about
As if everybody would know
Exactly what I was talking about
Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She makes the sign of a teaspoon
He makes the sign of a wave
The poor boy changes clothes
And puts on after-shave
To compensate for his ordinary shoes
And she said honey take me dancing
But they ended up by sleeping
In a doorway
By the bodegas and the lights on
Upper Broadway
Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes
And I could say ooh ooh ooh
As if everybody here would know
What I was talking about
I mean everybody here would know exactly
What I was talking about
Talking about diamonds
People say I’m crazy
I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes
Well that’s one way to lose
These walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of our shoes

Coming or going, here or there
Is it a disgruntled man you see there?
The horse and rider are disturbed
Rider looks like he’s perturbed
Uncontrollable animal, has it been?
Which one do you see?
There are two more images, apparently
Let me know what, for I cannot see
The man’s hair is a bit strange
As is the horse’s tail and mane
Man’s forehead a bit too wrinkly
I just can’t see the image simply.😳

It was called a Crest kiss
Breath fresh and clean mouth
Ready to discover what softness
Lies within those precious lips
At first hesitant
Then sweet exploring
Touching tongues intimately
Body responding
The first kiss only the beginning.
