The Princess Bride

My granddaughter inspired me to think of this movie when she remarked she was “low key dead” after swallowing a whole ice cube. I love her dry sense of humor. . . Short story long, it reminded me of the “mostly dead” scene from this movie.

I still love this movie and as the cast members say below, a classic. Here is the mostly dead scene and a 2011 reunion short of the cast, part one. I enjoy the behind the scenes, I am a movie nut!

Ragtag Community Prompt: Abstract

You never know what will attract

Could be simple or exact

I try to remain on track

But often veer into abstract

When going there, the cards are stacked

Using sentences so compact

There’s a risk of being sacked

Lacking knowledge, even tact

WordPress must think I’m cracked!

100 Word Wednesday #102

Yes’m, that’s me. I’m ready. I’m pumped! They think they can take me down? I’m not just a pretty face, I am a winner. Bring it on! I can handle it. I am free now of the rudeness of disrespect, of wallowing in guilt, self pity, and regret.

I’m the new improved version, no longer a target for malicious jibes about my appearance, my ambitions, my life choices. Never again! I’ve found myself. I’m going to rely on me for a change. I need no one else to make me feel fulfilled.

Hear me, world? You have a new contender!

100 Word Wednesday: Week 102

MLMM Saturday Mix 12-29-18

🐠🐟🐑

A goldfish I say, in a sea of glass, wandering around, looking for the latest offering from my keeper. Innocently thinking I was going on an adventure, a vacation, when I was bagged up in a plastic sphere. What a pity of a dream, that I might be free to explore a new world. Alas, this circular prison is just the uselessness of that dream.

FOWC: Pursuit

Looking over the holiday

All the gifts now on display

Is this the “American way”

Money spent and now it preys

With consequences that stay

At least till 2020 May

Is this the pursuit

Of happiness they did say

When it was written on that day

Is this the goal they had in mind

Or is the concept redefined?

FOWC with Fandango β€” Pursuit
