JuJoJa 26 – SoCS

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Just to balance out the week, Friday’s JJJ prompt, I have to mention that finally a reprieve of sorts is happening with the US government shutdown.

Despite the wealthy, unconcerned, have no clue what it’s like to live on a normal income arses in our country (I used arse because the English version just sounds more polite) there is a temporary solution.

Of course the permanent solution would be to have a different leader in our nation that doesn’t throw tantrums when he doesn’t get his way. The residents of border areas think the wall is ridiculous. I think even his supporters are beginning to wake up.

That said, I must add that the ads seen on WP blog posts are getting a little out of hand. And the editing process many times results in being kicked off altogether. Or is it me, again? After all, it is 2019AD, so let’s show our intelligence instead of our ignorance.

FOWC and Word of the Day

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Determined to win

Feels nothing but frustration

Nothing resembling remorse

Decisions entirely selfish

Like a child’s mind

Wealth and power

Unfortunately combine

To make a zealot

Not a leader of men.

FOWC with Fandango — Determined

MLMM Tale Weaver – Fairytale

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Once upon a time there were four little girls who took turns being “Princess of the Day”. Of course their father, the King of the land, knew as they did, that they were princesses every day, but one at a time, he chose them to complete special missions.

Princess Star, being the oldest sister, was chosen to be the Princess of Astrology and she would use star signs to present the people with wonderful visions of their years to come.

Princess Jewel, next in line, was chosen Keeper of the Treasury as she doled out various worthy gems to anyone in need.

Princess Sugar was the next to the youngest girl, chosen to be Baker’s Best, and distributed baked goods and other food items to the public, making sure every member of the kingdom was well fed.

Youngest princess of the family, Princess Freya, was named Princess of Protection. The king appointed her to make sure every subject had shelter for themselves and their family.

Every family was grateful to their generous king and the whole kingdom lived happily ever after.

The End.

The Haunted Wordsmith – Tell me a Story Challenge

Theresa chose the picture below and asked us to write something about it. This is what she wrote:

My story for the picture:

Being a curious pair, the brothers decided to liven up their shepherding duty by sneaking into the library for a book from the top shelf. Children’s books were located near the bottom shelves, but they saw their dad reading this one.

When asking what the book was about, their dad turned beet red. Naturally the boys were curious. The next day they used the ladder attached to the library shelves and retrieved the “picture” book.
