I always speak the truth
On that you can rely
Think of my reputation
I would never tell a lie
Free press be quiet please
Who’s that speaking in the back
Your question’s pure rubbish
It’s your manners that you lack
As I said I did no wrong
As he lifts his arm and fist
And by the way, I’m innocent
It says so on this list.
(Holds up new Constititution he wrote)

Carefully removing the cup from the nearest shelf in the curio cabinet, Jean smiled at her granddaughter. “Your mother used to have tea parties for her stuffed animals, and I thought we might have a tea party today. Would you like that?”
Little Mary looked curiously at the flowered cup. “You’d let me touch that?”
Jean smiled, remembering how strict Mary’s mother was. “Certainly, it won’t be of any use sitting here, will it?”
With that said, Jean placed two delicate china cups on the table while Mary collected her best friends from her bedroom. Hot water was coming to a boil as Jean glanced at the calendar. She looked back quickly to the kettle, hoping Mary wouldn’t notice it had been one year exactly since she lost her mother.

Poised beauty
Glides into dinner
Softly sits
Obliged smile
Mannerly napkin unfolds
Elegant panache

“I have some unsolicited advice” she continued. Mary was talking to a large group of college students, in a political science class. “Speak no evil”, as the class disrupted in laughter and holding their ears and eyes in a monkey meme. “Let’s experiment, pick a sign, fill it in.”

Holidays are coming up, maybe time to get out some jewelry that’s been sitting in the summer months. I don’t wear much except small earrings, but even those get dull. I found this on the net: jewelersmutual.com

Dreams in reading
White horses, where is your knight
I miss the prince, my love
The waterfall is stagnant without you near.

Way back in the sixties, as a young bride, my focus of course was on my husband. Being alone while he trained for a new job, I drew pictures of him, especially his profile which seemed to come more naturally. I wasn’t very good but it felt satisfying to complete them. I might try drawing him again, from memory. This prompt inspired my selection of the accompanying music.

Prosery
The weary soldiers gathered around the fire. Christmas Eve and the fire kept small as bits of golden flames filtered up through the darkness, soothing sadness of family memories. Gloved hands covering the coals gathered gear for the sacred night’s feast. Eating meager rations from a tin, they started sharing anything extra they had left. The older ones lit up cigarettes, hoping the bitter burn of smoke would fill their chest, dispelling memories of similar gatherings from other wars on this night.
Suddenly the night air was interrupted by a familiar melody. It was “Silent Night”, an incredible sound with words in a different language. It seems the cold wind brought a drift of voices expressing feelings similar to their own. The captain of the group stood up saying, “If it’s darkness we’re having, let it be extravagant” and they all joined in singing.
