The Sunday Whirl

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
At three in the morning, I reach out for an offered ascending hand, my head reeling from what I thought were feathers of dreams, but now realize is real, and the potion of sleep is gone. Seemingly between reality and the road of a promised rapture, I drift upward, my mind grabbing at thoughts passing by. I find myself adrift in a storyteller’s poem. Is this my death, a heaven or hell?

Politics

“I’m not going to cater to all the patter about woke this and woke that”, Joe stated. “ I believe this started with Trump, who is a parasite on the backs of ultra conservatives on the hill. What is really sad is the metamorphosis taking place in the democrat tract. They have become quiet, weak, and unresponsive to what they promised when elected. If they don’t start to act we will be either in a civil war or under a dictatorship!” Joe was surprised to see his “woke” friends shy away.

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
They used to say, “just like clockwork”, assuming someone had thought to wind the clock, plug it in, or renew the batteries. Clocks, except for our Canadian friend, Suzanne – hope I spelled that right🙄 – over at my dang blog-https://educationalmentorship.wordpress.com/, are pretty much just a decoration. Personally I like the ones showing inside gears.
Everyone seems to wear an Apple Watch or checks their phone for the time. Even regular watches are passé. My other interpretation of the prompt is, Murphy’s Law. If you think you are settled to something, undoubtedly M pays you a visit…just like clockwork.

Fandango’s Flashback Friday

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

“Hey, Harry, who’s idea was this photo shoot anyway? It’s not like we’re showing the product!”

“Well you look dapper enough, holding that cane; don’t worry about it.”

“Just a few more gentlemen” the photographer explained. “Remember not to smile, you’re supposed to be serious executives.”  

“Talk about fancy, Joe, with that gold watch bob on your belt. Showing it off?” Jack liked to needle him. Joe was the youngest and smartest of the group and everyone knew it. It was Joe who had the original idea, and it turned out to be successful for all of them. The other three men invested in Joe’s idea, and he was thankful for their support.

The gentlemen posed for a few more and grew restless. Suddenly Joe said, “Okay, enough. The beer’s on me, boys.”

Here’s your prompt: Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “left alone.”

Lays down, tries to sleep

How long are they going to keep

Away, and looks sadly at two food bowls

Water too and he starts the howls

Sounding like a sad lone wolf

Lays head back down and utters small woof

They say animals can’t tell time.

3TC – How Hard Can it Be?

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

Helen’s career was not making any headway and she decided to say farewell to being an independent secretary from home. On a whim she decided to try out at a Las Vegas club dancer’s audition. Being devoid of any real talent, she did have a strong will, not to mention a strong neck. Therefore she adopted a heady attitude for the audition thinking how hard could it be, and she heard the money was really good. The debacle started when her huge headdress began to tip and she ended up sprawled in the producer’s lap. No need to wait for a call back.
