The bakery was forbidden

On a diet Jim thought insane

Thinking of apple turnovers

His attitude was plain

He just needed the money

Asked his wife so dear

She answered “honey,

They’re not good for you I fear.

The doctor said you need to watch your weight!”

And that is when Jim’s wife became his late.

Your three words today are:
TURNOVER APPLE MONEY

***

Blast the trumpets

Bang the drums

Set loud the bass to keep a hum

Screech to the skies

Plead loud and openly

Cry to the gods

Scratch heavenly

Their facade of power

Their fake boohoo on bowers

Blurt out the truth

Seen rare and chomped

Dance on their lies, a romp

Only a few clip clops away

Horses of destruction will fall away.

***

Meet bar soundly with Onomatopoeia

The first time she saw him on the screen her heart melted, and it never occurred he was not what he seemed. She needed a job, that was clear, and this office was conveniently near. She filled out the forms and applied on the spot and heard right away, but was excited and thought, maybe this is the one time I will have a good outcome. He looks very nice, and it would provide a good income. That afternoon, she dressed in a hurry, looked in the mirror didn’t see anything to cause worry. Her suit was pressed, she looked efficient, was on her way, to finally be proficient. Her appointment was close, right down the street and he seemed anxious to meet. She walked in the door of the coffee shop, spotted him immediately and practically hopped over to the booth where he was sitting, carefully slipping into it, nicely fitting. She noticed he had a weird smile on his face, an odd one considering this was a public place. Suddenly she felt a hand on her knee. Recoiling, sat up straight and thought she should flee. The hand traveled further than it should, and she knew he was up to no good. Suddenly was out of the booth, deciding she wanted nothing to do with a man so uncouth. Getting out to the sidewalk she bumped into a lady, promptly fell into the street and lost her shoe in the grating.
