Simply Six Minutes

babies gathered, unaware
differences adults see there
hungry is their only thought
discrimination was never taught
the world is full of loving young
adults only are overcome
by prejudice that is schooled
by parents and uneducated rules

It was a dismal rainy day and Cheri thought about her destiny. She had been designing through the night and the cloudy day was not a good omen. Samples of a few dresses and accessories were shown to a store owner, but that woman seemed to despise Cheri. She thought about trying to find the woman’s competitor, and offering her designs. Both store managers turned Cheri down. “I guess designing clothes is not my destiny after all.”

One-Liner Wednesday – Sounds like the start of a Dickens novel
SYW 8-11-25

Here are this week’s questions:
The theme this week is Dining Out:
1. Do you prefer bar food, a restaurant, cafe or tea rooms?I prefer a restaurant where you can sit down, relax, and be waited on.
2. Do you always have the same thing, or try something different from time to time? Since I only eat in a restaurant maybe once every couple of months I choose a known place. My favorite here in town is Olive Garden and lasagna.
3. Have you ever had to send something back to the kitchen because it was sub standard? I wouldn’t send it back, I’d just not eat it. Most wait people don’t make much except tips. If you’ve ever done that job, you always tip. If it’s horrible, you can write something on the receipt.
4. If you have a complaint, do you make it in writing after you have left, or before you settle your bill? Answered above
Gratitude this week is for my two month old great grandson who is now about eight pounds and smiling❤️.

Share your World: 11th August
MLMM Wordle 437

He never thought his theft from the museum would be a big deal. It was just a set of perfume bottles his mother admired. The perfumes were pure, but taking them up from their placed display, an exposed smell began to waft around him. Just a moment in time he was suddenly the center of attention, and the guards were called. He was taken away immediately.

Limerick Time

You should have heard Bob McGill talk
When comes to boast, doesn’t balk
His life is supreme
Rides on a sunbeam
If only I had a big rock!
