Now for something completely different. . .
MLMM Wordle – Murder Most Fowl
“Running water where the dark blind met the window sill wasn’t the only indication something untoward happened”, was the opening statement by the defense. “The rain water came in from a series of bullet holes.” The snappy dressed lawyer addressed the jury in the tall slim blonde’s behalf. Her husband was mysteriously shot to death while a robbery was in progress.
“My client is obviously innocent, and this was clearly a robbery” sighting the missing items of value. The defendant’s demeanor was hardly innocent and the older women in the jury tended to glower at her with piercing eyes. Whenever the defense attorney returned to his seat, the defendant would sigh and cling to his arm, giving it an easy squeeze.
The trial ended up with the young woman found guilty after a hidden video showed her forcing the old man onto his knees with a gun.

Colleen’s Weekly Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge
A puzzle for you
You must guess who can it be
Who tripped, never fell
Graceful first, then failed at all
Sad, as we joined in the fall.

Beautiful Dreamer

I sat on the edge a while
Just imagining
How it would be to be a fish
Disappointed in the world I live in
Tired from the dreams
Decided to see for myself
No longer a dream for me
Now I am swimming free.

Greed
There is a distinction between avarice, self importance, grandstanding and obtaining a meal for your family in the wild. This man has no honor and is making all US citizens pay for his and his family’s outrageous vacations and splurges.

This should make you think how you will vote while you are sitting at home, out of work, trying to feed your family and pay your rent.

Swords and Sorcery
It might not be sharp enough but then I could always use my magic
It hasn’t really worked before, my incantations tragic
I have to do something—can’t just stand and stare
I’ll thrust my sword towards the sky and shout “enemies beware!”
What day is it anyway?
Say what you will about climate change but when it’s June and temperatures are freezing at night and colder than a cob at noon, there is a problem. And of course there is the ever present cheery news where the new case numbers are up because of reopening, protests, and plain old stupidity. Is it Monday? Because this sounds like a peeve to me.🥴
I can’t leave you in despair, so here is my favorite photo from Saturday’s wedding–guaranteed to make my day and you smile!
Hideaway
A hideaway where we can grieve
The underdogs forced down on knees
This respite from the outer siege
Landmarks of sorrow in violent streets
While leaders incite with their tweets
This is our respite from the storms
Hateful visions are now the norm
Staying here until the world reforms
Try to envision how new law could form

Monday Movie
Lately you may have wished you were in another dimension, but probably wouldn’t choose this one: “The Twilight Zone” 1983. Of course an old joke from this one, “want to see something really scary?” is a family favorite.
