The Bag Lady

From NPR:

Ideas come and go, trends
Like styles of clothes
Or songs that bend
Feelings and thoughts
In different ways
It’s like your mind’s a maze
Every day, month or year
Your imagination’s a seer
Of what was, and what will be
Around the bend.

dVerse — Quadrille Monday #206 — Around the Bend

A new term, new teacher and class

Get pencils, papers and books that pass

Forget the ruler and chalk

They cause teachers to balk

Oh and a new uniform too

So everyone looks alike in school

It’s a staple you need that helps you to learn

On that the board is frequently stern

And then there’s homework, a student’s lament

Only worked on their home firmament

And never forget about that bus

Riding to and from and causing no muss!

Some look forward to starting school

Me? I’d rather sit by a pool.

MLMM Monday Wordle #386

Here are this week’s questions:

1.  Is there a particular song that makes you cry or become emotional? Quite a few, because I am very emotional. I heard this song and rarely listen to it again, because it’s upsetting, like it was today for writing this:

2.  Is there a particular song you cannot stand? Rap doesn’t impress me

3.  Does any particular song remind you of someone? One above and album below

4.  Do you have a favourite song? The album by Savage Garden – 1997 has many songs I love. I can’t pick just one.

Gratitude: I am grateful to have some new interest in my blog, and wish some older bloggers I miss would come back to the platform. And rain, thank the heavens!

Share Your World 19th August

Shocked at his swollen sore throat

Double chins formed a fleshy moat

Skin was spread so wide

Eyes couldn’t deny

When bathing, he might start to float!

Laughing Along With A Limerick

https://open.substack.com/pub/claytoonz/p/duck-burns-gouge?r=482oha&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

Pieces of beings held in memory, the bliss of arms holding me tight, particles of breath felt on my neck; even heartache can be a form of pleasure. The feelings sometimes called a thunder of emotion, causing a leaping of my heart, are all explained in a story of passion. Everyone needs a form of this story.

Lucky Dip – Saturday Mix, 17 August 2024

I could sit here in my rocker, making another stitch to embroider, creating a well sewn piece of art, almost by rote, thus my mind starts a contemplation. Earlier I read a survey stating a quote that should be taken to that small room in my house, dropped and flushed. Being old and yes, crotchety especially when it comes to disparaging the military. JD Vance is bad enough just on the surface, relating to women in disgusting ways, remarks with political name calling and serving up Project 2025 ideas, which would take us back a century, but his six month in a non combat zone writing reports may qualify him a veteran but calling down other veterans is a red flag. Lowering himself to be on a ticket with Trump ought to tell you everything about him already, and why did he change his name? He mirrors Trump, speaking over interviewers, not answering direct questions…isn’t that questionable?
