The Sunday Whirl
Was he just a lunatic? I couldn’t believe all the ghastly deeds done and threats with letters, incessantly arriving in my mail? Fools urged me to view the vast problem just as a short time existence and as soon as the election was over, so too would the pranks. Feeling frightened in my bones I went to the police station to complain. I was not the only one!

I believe the world has already split into breakable pieces. The facts are distressing and some incredible. I feel helpless as my one vote drops in a democratic bucket here in Wyoming. I feel leaders in other countries were at first stupefied, as we all are, at the actions of our government. It has been compared to the 1900s Hitler era and rightly so. How can this happen? Now it seems some MAGA constituents are waking up to what they’ve wrought, but happenings like Ukraine may be too late for change. Democracy is not here anymore.

Limerick Time
Joe thinking he knew how it works
Spewing their awful claptrap quirks
Thinking they know
The right way to go
Then find out that they are all jerks

Laughing Along With A Limerick
MLMM Wordle
Certainly Joe felt secure in his home, but he was lonely. Especially since he fell and had to use a crutch to get around. His usual drive to the town events that kept him busy were unattainable. A friend suggested he go down to the animal shelter to get a dog for companionship. The friend drove Joe to the dumb friends league to meet a new friend. He pushed open a door to see a bunch of cages, stacked on top of each other, and pressed his hand on his forehead. He was a kind man and to see this many abandoned animals made tears come to his eyes. His friend saw this and handed a slip of permission to the tech who maintained the cages. The tech took them to dogs that were going to be disposed of soon, their time was up. Joe found a certain animal that seemed to connect with him right away. On the way home, they stopped to get food, basket, and a wool blanket, wrapped the quiet dog in it and it seemed settled immediately. The warmth of his new companion suited both the dog and new owner.

Life for most of us
Includes a screen
Hiding what you don’t want seen
A household mess
A laundry pile
Screens are useful
All the while
A woman’s head has an invisible one
Hiding from husband, father and sons
Maybe not the only ones.
