I think I’m just going to give up on sleep

Let all those mangy thoughts that keep

Dancing around in my mind and reap

Havoc, like some odd nightmare, they creep.

The clock glows one-thirty, then three

I nod off and hope to wake and see

At least six or seven

That would be heaven

But no, it seems to be stuck at four

Why can’t I stay asleep any more?

Guess I’ll get up, and open the door

To the fridge for cold water, watch it pour

Could it be thirst was keeping me awake?

I’m back in bed, open a book that will take

Me into a different world where it seems

That sleep is the hoped-for fantasy dream.

“We Will Rock You” is a song written by Brian May and recorded by British rock band Queen for their 1977 album News of the World.

Some of my family is tired of this song because it is always played before a sport’s game. Not me😂

autumn

deer rustling

dead leaves piled

a brush of sticks

dens being prepared for winter lodging

cold winds signal time for assembling

skin and fur fluffed

fawns steadied

first frosts

autumn

This week’s Story Starter teaser is:

“Are you coming or not?” Carl demanded as he took a few steps further into the…ballroom. For weeks he had balked at his wife’s insistence on going to the lessons so now was the time to try them out. Nancy hesitated to enter because the lessons with Carl were fun and even romantic, but here in public? She was too nervous! The whole idea of going to the dance lessons was to rekindle their romantic passion but now she was almost scared. The safety of the small dance studio was fine but this huge ballroom? Carl’s face softened, took her hand, sensing her trepidation and put his arm around her. Maybe he too, wanted this reunion of feelings.

Julia’s recipe for the drink was the quintessential peak of her blooming career. Anyone who tried the lemon concoction could barely articulate the exact flavors and thought it might be a trick of Julia’s, that would tick off the right flavor sensors in their gut. However, the secret ingredient Julia tucked into her creation was a rather large dash of limoncello. Lemonade never tasted so good!

RDP Tuesday has a joke for you!

She tried to disavow what he thought were gallant actions, knowing he exaggerates with an abracadabra persona. He was an exemplary student, but always thinking any scullery on his part should be taken with humor, a lot of humor. To stabilize the situation she would don her “college letters”cardigan which revealed she was in the upper percentile of students responsible for leadership. After other ideas failed, she would reassemble the college social societies to repeal more placid activities, such as concerts featuring classical string quartets.
