Her given name was Jade

Her smile would never fade

Out of plastic she was made

And Jack, the buyer, paid.

Jack’s love never strayed

He thought he had it made

For real love he’d never trade

Jade was top of the grade.

After years her beauty stayed

No inch of skin was flayed

With her Jack could play

All night into the day.

Jade was never swayed

From the bed on which she laid

With no complaining ever made

His dream come true was Jade.

This is the closest I could find for the 17th, from 2017. It’s not easy finding old posts. Is there an easier way?

Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou asks Jonathan.
Romeo replies, what light through yonder hay loft breaks? It is the east, and Jonathan is my dad.

How’s it going, pops?

Three Line Tales

Mary Poppins, where are you?

I need your help!

The sheep’s in the meadow

Cows starting to yelp

My time as a farmer has reached its end

Thought children would relieve me, ascend

To the work I’ve been doing for many a year

While they are trying business careers

I should have employed Mary years ago

She’d have taught them there’s a road to hoe

Now I guess it’s just too late

Think I’ll steal her umbrella and fly away.

The sky is gray

Doesn’t make my day

In any way

I want the sun

I’m not the only one

Makes we want to eat cinnamon buns

I have a common disease

My appetite is one to please

My chilled thoughts to ease

Comfort food is a must

When ice and snow replaces dust

The gray and clouds are so bleak

Making my healthy resolve too weak.

Apparently this challenge was set up by Amelia @ https://myinnermishmash.wordpress.com/ and reborn by Catherine @ https://cyranny.com/2018/04/13/5-things-i-like-about-myself/. Whatever, I thought I would be hard put to think of five things; decided I needed a kick in the self esteem, so here they are:

I have nice hair.👩🏻‍🦰

I laugh frequently, even at knock knock jokes that don’t make sense.😂

I love my family without measure.❤️

I am a survivor of a lot of crap.👍🏻

I am able to write a lot of nonsense that sometimes rhymes.🙄😳

***

So how about it? Fessup people, you know you want to!🤗

Thank you to the ladies above. Give them a visit, you will not be disappointed!🥰

I share my thoughts most freely

Here at my site each day

Now asked for a soliloquy

I find my mind at bay.

My life is like a rubberband, stretching often to its limits.

In one hour brief thoughts of love and in an instant, goes away.

Positive reinforcement I always give a try but it wanes poetic in afternoons of a day.

I wake up to the sun hoping for a new vision to come to play

And as the day wears on, sadly it drifts away.

Back and forth it stretches, sometimes to a point of no return.

That is when I write and read for new awareness I can learn.

I suppose this word will conjure up

A romantic tryst for two

When just the one person

Seems not to ever do

But my temptation here is this

Sweet or dark or in a kiss

Smooth or chunky

Melted or frozen

Chocolate’s

My idea of heaven.

You need a partner when a crisis arises. It could be anything from a mini disaster like dying your hair black and it comes out green or standing in a protest line having eggs thrown at you, or in a political arena where numbers are the answer.

This must be Trump’s convoluted way of thinking. As long as he can cajole, bribe and lie to a few brainless followers, he needs no partner. His formerly faithful dolts are dropping like flies. His partners in crime-and-no-punishment crawl around his feet, hoping to not be the next one to take blame for something their leader did. He will stomp on anyone he thinks helps to destroy or ridicules him, which, let’s face it, is so very easy to do.

Where is the partner he needs to control him? “It” doesn’t exist. That’s why we’re in this mess.

Ancient tired limbs

Still viewed as standing proudly

Defenders of it

Long buried knights and dragons

Beneath, wondering the worth.
