This is a cautionary tale. Of course, as usual, I am to blame in part. I received some long awaited good news this morning and was in an hypnotic state of euphoria.

I had to tell my sisters of the good news right away so it was going to be a long message. And because I’m basically an impatient person I decided to use the microphone on my phone to tell the news in a quicker email.

I had the phone close to my face so didn’t see what was writing. Finished, looked into it and saw nothing had typed, just the greeting. So scorched the airwaves by saying “f—-“ and of course it printed that.

So how’s your day going?😂🙄😳😵‍💫

“The Misfits” 2021, starring Pierce Brosnan. This is a fun romp with some would be thieves. Enjoy this on STARZ, Hulu or other venues. It was fun seeing Tim Roth again whom I loved in the series “Lie to Me” which I highly recommend! It gave me a lift today☺️

I don’t think I need to bamboozle

When mentioning this prime floozle

Obviously I’m no fan

Of this repugnant man

I can only be thankful

I don’t live in Iowa.

You can’t sugar coat his rallies there

Lies about new political fare

There is no vestige of propriety

When he’s discussing women’s liberty.

They were in a time crunch. The mission to murder the aliens from space required a speedy boat, and the weapon they found on one of the abandoned secret government beaches. It would be a tight schedule so perfect execution was key. It had to be done before daylight.

The air was ripe with the aliens’ scent and they would be easy to find. The cove they chose was being overhauled by the local beautification group so a drawing of the suspected location was available in the local library.

Having planned the mission to what they thought was the tiniest detail, they boarded the boat ready for a fight. They killed the boat motor a hundred feet out around the hidden edge of the cove and noticed it was glowing with light.

Once onshore they snuck up close and couldn’t believe what they saw. Alien beings clad in what looked like bikinis, drinking pina coladas and dancing around a campfire.

There was only one thing to do. They stripped off their clothes and joined in the party.

My granddaughter was in a state marching band contest today and I had the link to watch it online. The site wouldn’t let me watch it unless I paid $11.00 a month or a year’s subscription for 70$ . What the???

I told my daughter pretty soon you’ll have to sign up and pay a site to pee in your own toilet!

Okay that was a bit over the top but I’ve had tech problems for a few days now and I’m sick of it! I went in to my site to fix and replace what WP took off (with their new and improved?system) and the thing just sits there saying it’s loading the customizer. Yes my iPad was fully charged. Yes I let it sit. It never let me in. Arrgh 🙄

He was only nine

With an imaginative mind

Gave his teacher a shock

With his choice of socks

His classmates agreed—

No need for her tease.

You might be resolved seeing physical star spangled legions in military garb, but I prefer to espy at safe distances. Their objective is to swindle the “American dream” into a dangerous coup.

If the moon was made of fresh mild cheese

And each cloud was a cracker

If fog could really be pea soup

Then hunger would be lacking.

If a rainbow was chocked full of sweets

And fruit and veggies dear

If every child could no longer seek

A meal or need to fear.

If the world could just assimilate the golden law

All of us would help each other, and not recognize our flaws.

Double Take – Saturday Mix, 16 October 2021

by weejars

Welcome to the Saturday Mix, 16 October 2021!

The ‘Double Take’ challenge focuses on the use of homophones* to build your writing piece. You have two sets of homophones and you are challenged to use all of them in your response – which can be poetry or prose.

Our homophone sets this week are:

aural – of hearing
oral – of mouth

and

aye – affirmative
I – oneself
eye – ocular organ

***

“I think you may have an aural difficulty,”the professor said sarcastically. “Every time I think you have your “eye on the prize” here in class, and are listening to my oral lectures, I see your mind is somewhere else. If you wish to succeed and prove you earned your scholarship, you need to pay attention.”

“Aye, aye, captain” with an exaggerated salute.

“And with that, you are dismissed for the day!”
