So many casks, so little time
The peon looked over the barrels sublime
From every village a different taste
He had quietly sneaked in the castle with haste
Opened the gate, leapt over a hurdle
From then on the only sound was a gurgle.

MLMM Sunday Writing Prompt
Get on with it you advise
Sounds perfectly wise
Things I’ve decided to tackle
Might not sufficiently sparkle
But I’m trying to forget
The year we regret
Adding humor to dissuade more debaucle.

Midas he wasn’t, not for trying of course. It was always the help’s fault. If only they adhered to his rules. Mr. Bank had a strict set of rules for his employees. It didn’t matter he had only four, doing the jobs of twenty. It was all about the profits.
Mr. Bank liked money, especially coins–gold, silver, even copper, he loved the feel of them in his fingers. He often sat in his study after the day was done, holding them, examining them closely to make sure they were ligitimate. He collected coins, marvelling over the different designs of monies from all over the world.
This evening, as he contemplated his small collection from the day’s till, Mr. Bank decided it was time for change.

FOWC: Remiss
Married for years
Through laughter and tears
One way he was never remiss
When leaving for work
It was his special perk
To give his loved bride a kiss.

JuJoJan 4 – Fingertips
While downing a burger and fries
What to my wondering eyes
Should appear
Way too near
But a Kentucky fried chicken demise!
Licking fingertips and loud smacking lips
It’s a wonder I could stomach it all
Then followed a belch
He seemed unable to squelch
I’ll never eat again at the mall.

I have not been on the edge of my seat, watching a movie for a long time. I’ve always loved cars, car racing, and did not research this movie to find the story behind it, thus: edge of seat. 😎”Ford vs Ferrari” is a must see for any fans of the sport.

Listen to this, please!
Where’s the Beef?
I admit I’m not brilliant, I’m most easily confused
WordPress is bugging me, starting to feel abused.
The posts from most bloggers are not coming by mail
When they do, to no avail
Are three WP ads written above
And for those ads I have no love.
I try the Reader and even if and when,
Friends I follow have blogs written
They’re old or it’s someone I don’t read
What is up with the Reader feed?
I refollow again, but tell me this
Is it intentional for me to miss
Your stories, poems, and prompts?
Am I being summarily dismissed?
Maybe it’s time to give up the ghost
And avoid this WordPress host.
