She fantasized Frida Kahlo
Dreaming she had been incarnate
The drugs were an afterthought
As a friend recommended
How she could be Frida if she tried hard enough.

Word of the Day: Nightly
Whispered prayer
Soft close friend
Mother’s loving kiss
Father’s quick hug
Covers tucked
Shadowed luminescence
Low lullaby

FOWC: Kingpin
The Marvel character Kingpin was recently, excellently played by Vincent D’Onofrio. I have been a fan of his for a long time. I was very impressed with his portrayal of a homicide detective in “Law and Order, Criminal Intent” and was sad to see him go. He is definitely worth watching in any roll.

Her beauty was vile
Very controversial
It would make you blush
Garish shadows, bright red lips
All was done garnering tips

FOWC: Firewall
Photo from US News and World Report

The world needs a firewall
Really big, protecting all
Yes you heard me, build a wall
Similar to the president’s call
This one would cause no brawl
Only raise the president’s gall
Around the Whitehouse it would sprawl
Protecting the world from his maul
Perfect, let’s build this wall
And happiness for the world befalls.

NATO Phonetic Alphabet Plus
When the IT tech came to fix my router, I received a new address for Century Link. Since it was long, he asked if I wanted him to read it to me. I said yes. He then said, “3, foxtrot, 4….. ” I said wait a minute. I worked for the military but I never used those words. Of course he laughed and used the regular alphabet.
Apparently, my email address is hard to understand on the phone, so next time I’ll try this phonetic alphabet. That probably won’t work either. Being the curious sort, had to look it up. Radio chatter among the military is interesting too. We’ve all heard, “copy that, roger,” etc. but there are some hilarious ones I probably should not repeat here. Oh well, when did that ever stop me😂. Two rated R I thought humorous are at the bottom of this post.

“The 26 code words in the NATO phonetic alphabet are assigned to the 26 letters of the English alphabet in alphabetical order as follows: Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliett, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-ray, Yankee, Zulu.”

I hope no one is offended, if so, sorry. I think a lot of these terms are funny.

FFF Challenge#21
“I’ve assembled everything you asked for, doctor. Are you satisfied?”
“Yes, Igor, completely. Now all we need is a. . .subject.”
“Someone worthy of your experiment, doctor?”
“Yes. . .worthy. . .much more important than willing, Igor.”
“I understand doctor. I know from experience you are not easy to please,” wincing.
“Well then, be about your business! Some of these ingredients don’t last forever.”
Igor rushes out to the street. In these hard times, (victims) are easy to find. The promise of a few shillings would do. Coming upon a ragged man in an obvious stupor, persuaded him to go back to the doctor’s rooms. That evening a frightened sober vagrant found himself strapped to a wooden table. Igor and the doctor stood over him. The doctor stated the obvious fact: “This may sting a little. ”
