The Bag Lady

Joey never missed eating eggs

He thought they were the breakfast dregs

Now with prices too high

Never caused him to sigh

He preferred eating just the legs.

Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Luster

We all want to feel that elusive thing
That special feeling —
I’m talking about that zing!
Some people get it from their favorite food
That puts them in a satisfied mood
But if you ask me, I get it from just watching you.

Quadrille #217: Poems with Zing! 

Here are this week’s questions:

1.  Do/did you collect anything (stamps, cards, action figures, etc) now or as a child? Rocks 😂 I wanted to be a geologist, instead, I married a geophysicist.😀
2.  What is the silliest thing you’ve ever bought? A felt fedora.🕵️‍♀️
3.  When it comes to jewellery, do you prefer gold, silver, or gem stones? I like most of everything but I only have a little. My favorite is an Amber Garnet.
4.  Do you know what your birthstone is? my birthstone is a blue sapphire.
5. Gratitude: I have tons of gratitude for my daughter and my granddaughter, who have taken me to various doctor appointments, held my hand if I needed it, and listened to my complaining.🙄

Share Your World 10th February

He stood, looking professorial, crossed his arms and told her, “the world is always changing, Phyllis.”

“I suppose that’s true,” she answered, “but we all have a dark side,” and she decided to confront him about it. “You can’t fool me Harold, I know you’ve been seeing Marie on the side.”

Harold started walking toward the reptile cage, ignoring her accusation. “Most people would consider these creatures ominous, but I can’t help but adore them.”

Phyllis was not getting anywhere near the cage. She knew that Harold had been working with reptiles on a secret serum but as his part time assistant, she wasn’t quite sure what the serum was intended for.

Harold slid the top off the reptile cage and took out one of his favorites. Phyllis started backing away. “Harold, you know I don’t like it when you take them out of the cage. Please put it back.”

Harold was caressing the large creature, and started walking towards Phyllis. Phyllis was backed up against a cabinet with no place to go. When the authorities found her, thought it was unusual that she had died on her feet, seemingly frozen to a cabinet in the lab.

Unfortunately, Harold disappeared, along with his reptile collection.

Anyone else receiving more than usual in their email than they are regular emails from people you know? Today and yesterday I received 60 ads. And they keep repeating no matter how many times I have said that they are spam and they are put in the trash. Is anyone else having that problem?

He said to the waitress, “Come on over, honey and I’ll give you a tip.” Standing too close, he bent near her ear.

Jeannie said, “Benny what is it you want to say?”

“Well sweetheart how about spending some time? A little this, a little that… and see where it leads?” Jeannie laughed too loud and the entire restaurant heard it, embarrassing Benny once, and for all.
