The Bag Lady

Many books that I do hold dear

Apparently cause people fear

They spend their free days

Ruin book displays

It’s become a pain in the rear!

Laughing Along With A Limerick

We were at WM today and passed this display of books. The photo shows that I had just finished turning all the books around the way they should be presented.

When we saw the display someone had turned all the books backwards and put bibles in front of them…WTF? My daughter took the Bibles all off and put them back on the shelves where they belonged.

I turned all the Swift books around. It’s bad enough to be accosted by groups of women, preaching to you, or wanting you to join some cult or telling you about God or Jesus, or whatever, that is bad enough, but going around to book displays for Pete sake, Taylor Swift? that’s just ridiculous.

If people don’t wake up and stop this nonsense, it’s going to be life like the Handmaid’s Tale 😳😡

Poor Winnie, she stood right outside the door, hoping the sun would cure her, aches and pains and a sallow complexion might have been a product of her melancholy. She was physically exhausted as night after night she watched the moon climbing into the empty sky, and then fitfully dreamed of lost love. Winnie’s days were long and tiring and certainly disappointing. There was no one to help her get out of her slump. It was affecting her appearance and wrinkles started forming around her constant frowning lips. One night she decided to make a wish on a falling star, silently pleading for a happier life. The next day she decided to make a change by herself because it seemed no one else would help her. She got up early, walked down the path near the beach and on a whim, ran into the surf. It was invigorating and she even screamed to the waves, “I’m ready!” She had a sudden burst of excitement and then ran out and lay on the sand. She cared not that she was soaking wet and gathering sand on her clothes, even looked up to the sun, smiling.

“Ready for what?”A deep voice asked, and right then, Winnie didn’t feel woeful at all.

OLWG# 383- Rigmor @ The Met

The school decided to have a seventies retro love in, celebrating freedoms of all kinds, some controversial in closed minds, but that was not deterring them. The principal’s role was to only bear witness and not get physically involved, staying off the streets and in the commons area. His wife was surprised the next morning to see newspaper images of an untidy man behind prison bars. Headlines reading: “Principal Jones Reveres Protesting Students. Jones let personal feelings from his college days get the better of him and was seen chaining himself to the bike racks along with his students.”

I hope it’s okay I borrowed this image, Kevin.

Weekend Writing Prompt #381 – Bungle

“Hey Joe, see that speech bubble floating around you? You better start talking…”

“I can’t, I’m busy killing this ant hill that’s been biting my horses. I’ll give you ten bucks to grab it and use it yourself!”

Mike grabs the speech bubble, says a bunch of expletives into it and it blows up. “Taken care of, Joe! That sure was an easy ten bucks!”

Lucky Dip – Saturday Mix, 14 September 2024

Bear tooth was the northern entry we took years ago from Montana to Yellowstone Park. It was the first time I saw beautiful flowers surrounded by snow. An amazing sight. Wyoming news today:

I see the maple tree leaves turning red

Leafy veins appearing so white at first

The summery green story now been read

The cooler weather causes sugar thirst

–

Maple trees are not the only changing

Even wavering aspens turn golden

Mother Nature landscape rearranging

Those summer hues are turning, emboldened

–

Apple cider scents in the autumn air

Drifting along the bonfire sand beaches

Carved pumpkins sitting on the perron stairs

School has started with classes and teachers

–

Autumn delights even in the kitchen

Eat pumpkin or apple, just a smidgen.
