After this scene is the penguin visit, hilarious…

Let’s face it, if there are any theories running around they probably have the word conspiracy in the title. I don’t think, I know…and it’s blatant and everyday now, Donald Trump thinks he’s king. His cabinet supports his theory in deed.

With a swift kick, the door splintered, revealing a brown skinned mother, father and a tiny baby in a small cradle. The “agents” looked at each other and then took the parents out, leaving the baby alone. A very old story lives today.

it is surprising
how people’s votes ended up
laws are bamboozled
new president is the Trump?
oxymoron example

occasionally
musicians visit
a temporary
respite from prison routine
a needed solace for some

Folsom Prison Blues

Wouldn’t it be loverly
Wouldn’t it be gay
To lounge around in a great big chair?
Sure you say, any day, it would be my way…
The rubber ducky life…
Scooting and floating carefree
Always sunny, always warm
Not hearing the buzz of dangerous swarms
The cries of brown or black skins
Where is their chance to float or swim
On a sunny day, peaceful and prim
Never to feel that frightening so grim
Wouldn’t it be loverly?

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 01/13/2026

Iced Danger
Frozen fingers and toes
Yet I pull the sled
The rope also frozen, but I lost my way
I know this road
Follow it and get myself home.
That’s what my mind tells me
It’s hard to concentrate
Perhaps my brain is frozen too
Clap my hands together
Stomp my feet
Too far ahead I see my two friends
I just need to keep moving.
Never again will I venture down an unknown hillside
It was so fast, I had so much fun, but now
I fear if I lose sight of my friends I won’t make it
I want my warm bed, my warm blankets
I will just sit here a while
It seems warmer than walking
I’ll wait for them to find me
Joey? Mikey?….

What do you see # 323- 12 January, 2026



Smile, world smiles with you
Nice thought but highly untrue
Walk through a crowd
Wearing a smile, proud
And you’ll probably be thought a fool.
Today, scowls seen more present
A smile promotes a resent
What do you have to be so happy about?

Quadrille #239: Smile!

Come in and enjoy the pond
You see I won’t move any more
I’ll stay right on the shore
Of humans I’ve grown quite fond.
