Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Nature’s symphony
***
I chose number 5 by T.S. Eliot because I think it fits well with the USA Today:
Everyone yells their opinions
Speaking from a known dominion
Whether a podium draped in a flag
Or a cardboard box on the main drag
Our voices disappear in the throng
Some telling others they are wrong
I’m guilty of this, I speak out
I try to explain what I’m about
But no one cares
And no one dares
To object to my face
It all seems a race
To end all the old freedom bells’ that rang
“And the world ends in a whimper rather than a bang.”

Tuesday Poetics: Endings
From Fandango @https://mymindmappings.com/2024/09/17/words-have-consequences/
“
Did your family move around a lot when you were younger, or did you pretty much live in one place for most of your life? What about now? Do you move around frequently or have you lived in the same place for quite a while?
I moved at 3 to a dairy farm and then at 15 to a small apartment in town, then a boarding house, apartment, house and more houses and then two apartments. I lived in Vermont, New Hampshire, Texas, Colorado, Texas, Texas, Colorado, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming.☺️
Truthful Tuesday: September 17th, 2024
Excitement ruled
‘Twas the first day of school
A uniform donned
A bus trip such fun
The teacher stern
No games learned
But excited eyes blink
Seeing all food and drink
Lunch money spent
Cookies were lent
A fun day for tots
They love school lots!

MLMM Monday Wordle #390
Here are this week’s questions:
1. Do you believe in Love at First Sight? Definitely ❤️
2. How did you meet your partner? (I know I have asked this before) I worked at USACRREL and he was a GI there.
Alternative question for my single readers:
Do you live alone or do you have a pet for company? I do live alone, widowed in 2013 and no pets.
3. How long have you been a couple?
Alternative question: how old is your pet?
4. Did you marry in a church or other religious place, or somewhere else? We married in 1966 in a small church, reception in basement😀
Alternative question: have you had more than one pet at a time? When our kids were little we had three inside cats and two outside dogs.
Gratitude: I am grateful today I had a trip to WM for groceries, but bought too many snack items and fixed a Taylor Swift book display that some weirdos had turned backwards and put Bibles in front of them all 🙄😳😡🤯🫤
Share Your World 16th September
Bela Lugosi played it so well
The long toothed monster from hell
When midnight came the vampire’s thirst would swell
Always eyeing the prettiest, young belle
As a monster figure, he looked pretty cool
But when approaching his prey, I think he might drool.

Quadrille #208 – Undead to the World
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 😳😡
