How far do you think he’ll go?

Well at least as far as old lady Smith’s porch, that’s all we need!
Okay, are we ready to launch?
The wild opossum was unaware of his upcoming flight. He wiggled in the boy’s arms to get free, but suddenly found himself bound up in lacrosse netting.
The joy on the boys’ faces was visible as they heard a plop and a scream.

MLMM Tale Weaver #229

“A perfect moon overhead my darling.” He gathered her robes about her. The night was chilled, but she barely felt the cold. All she could think was they had finally completed their journey. It had been days on the old horse, plodding along and often tripping, sending her forward unexpectedly. She was glad for each evening’s respite of the soft grass.

The couple was on their way to the castle where Marie’s father was King. Accompanied by a knight, John, Marie had no expectation her marriage plans would be denied. She fell in love with John immediately and the two were traveling to be wed at the castle.

Marie had been schooled with proper etiquette and the two of them traveling together without a chaperone might be frowned upon by her parents. They both were willing to take the chance. The morning sun would bring either happiness or tragedy. Snuggling close, they fell asleep.

Sun and morning dew surrounded them. John had readied the horses by the time Marie woke. It was only a few hours before she would see her family and no anxiety entered her mind. John was not so calm, thinking he might not be the King’s choice for his daughter. Nevertheless, the decision had been made and he was not regretting it now. The future was uncertain in all except his love for Marie.

Weekly Terrible Poetry Contest #26

Roses are red

Violets are purple

I love my treats

They make me slurple.

We gathered together

To make a decision

Who should be elected

‘Cause we need revision.

The larger cousins want Mayor Cheese

Being rats, they’re easy to please

My buddies residing in this cage

Want something more new age

Such as crumbs tartare rubbed with sage

That make pleasant leavings here in the cage

Providers of these treats would be

Mayor Guinea Pig and Company.

Rabbits and gerbils all insist

To get out and vote, even resist!

Our choice for mayor should reflect

The outcome we want and expect.

I wonder why I haven’t been aware of this site before. Surely my efforts qualify!☺️

I am letting you down easy! This is a pretty big ball you’ve gotten yourself into. And put that iPad down and pay attention! Just one more rock to go over, I’ll jump on top, we’ll roll down and be safe.

Where’s Smokey the bear when you need him, anyway?
