“On Aging” by Maya Angelou
Sitting here and
Bored of course, I’m
Lonely, the
Schedule always the same
Just a name, not a person
Or apartment number where I
Live, not the home where I was
I wish sometimes I could go back
Wishing time away, I do now and then.

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #094
Joe’s clothes were getting pretty rank
Because he refused to use banks
All his money was enclosed
Inside the same set of clothes
No wonder his wife moaned and drank.

SenHai Saturday #59
Julie tried to delete the phone call. She was tired of thinking someone was vindictive enough to have found her diary and spread her personal thoughts on the internet. Julie’s maiden voyage to cell phone privacy rules were only on a basic level. Now she trusted nobody and the friend she thought reliable received a strong reprimand.

MLMM Monday Wordle #484
Joe had a hard time acting fake
Seems everyone could tell his take
Especially girls
He wanted to whirl
They could tell he was on the make!

Laughing Along With A Limerick
Here are this week’s questions:
1. What was the last film/movie you saw at the theatre/cinema? “Avengers End Game”
2. Do you like sequels or remakes? I do not like remakes!
3. Have you ever read a book and thought of the ‘perfect person’ to play the lead role? Yes. However, my favorite character in books I could never find an actor to play that role. I have his image set in my mind😀
4. Fun question:
Think of one of Hollywood’s tough guys (past or present) and cast them in a ludicrous role. Harrison Ford as Popeye. I loved Robin Williams, but hated that movie.
Who would you choose and what role would you have in mind? “Primal Fear”’s character played by Edward Norton, in “Love Story”.
Gratitude: I am grateful to be alive🥰
Share Your World : 6th July 2026
Think of him as congress
The USA in session
No triumph easily done, so…
Just give up, let him burn.
