Joe was dressing for his new job on a dock
A heavy warm vest and waterproof socks
Couldn’t forget his tobacco packet
He filled his pipe and donned a jacket
His pants were canvas with lots of pockets
Now felt he was ready for the new docket.

My first thought was “ours is not to reason why, ours is just to do or die”. (“a slightly altered version of lines written by Lord Alfred Tennyson in his 1854 poem, The Charge of the Light Brigade, about a failed British military action: “Theirs not to make reply / Theirs not to reason why / Theirs but to do and die.”)”
I like that phrase, have used it jokingly in hard situations, because really what choice do I have? Be a pain in the butt or except what I have to do and do it. However this does not apply to things like dusting which is one of my most hateful chores. My life is so simple that I rarely have those do or die situations anymore and for that I’m grateful.
It could also be applied in today’s world for climate change, which couldn’t be a truer example. If we don’t do something we all certainly will die.
Have a nice long weekend👍🏻.

Ronovan Writes Sijo Wednesday Poetry Challenge #25. Use INSPIRATION as your inspiration this week.
***
Life is full of inspiration, you only need to accept it
Each breath taken’s a gift, each beautiful sight, song, whispered word
Rocking along in your own aura, might miss what surrounds you.

Julie sat back sipping her morning coffee, and stopped short. It was her misplaced sense of the occult that drew her to the newspaper headline, “Local Psychic Brutally Murdered”. The story went on to report that well known Madam Sophia had been struck down by a long, curved blade which had been left at the scene of the crime. Detectives surveying the scene also said the hysterical storefront owner had seen nothing and was still in shock after opening the doors this morning. Apparently Madam Sophia had been killed the evening before.
Julie was dumbfounded, having seen the Madam earlier last night. She had a monthly appointment and loved the idea of having her future displayed before her in the colorful cards. Julie tried to remember if anything was off or different that night, if anyone was lurking on the street outside, but her mind could barely register that Sophia was killed. Probably the police would question her if they found Sophia’s appointment book.
Then Julie began to worry…what if they thought she was the guilty person, if she had something to do with it? She was not a capricious person, but the mere fact she visited a psychic would probably dispute that fact. She hunkered down into her bathrobe and sipped her coffee. It was just as she was beginning to calm when there was a loud knock on her door. “Miss Julie Smith? Police, open the door please!”

A guy asks another guy “Where’s the library at?”
Second guy says “You never end a sentence with a proposition.”
First guy answers with “Oh, so where’s the library at, asshole?”

1. Something you’ve labored over recently? I have been trying to sort out my bank EFTs, bill paying because rarely I use a debit card that now has a new number🙄
2. How will you rest on Labor Day? For me holidays are business as usual, no business☺️
3. Margaret Mead is quoted as saying, “I learned the value of hard work by working hard.” Would you agree? Where and how did you learn the value of hard work? I grew up doing chores at the farm and have always helped my family before I started a paying job with the government when 18. I’ve always taken pride in my work and expect the same from everyone else.
4. It’s National Eat Outside Day (August 31st). Will you? Do you enjoy dining ‘al fresco’ or do you prefer indoor seating? I love barbecue and picnics, preferably sans sand and bugs☺️
5. Somehow it’s the end of August. What was the best day of the month for you and tell us what made it so? I’ve had a few fun days but the best was my granddaughter’s sixteenth birthday held at a park where it poured heavily and a thunderstorm ensued. But it was a rite of passage and enjoyed by all.
6. Insert your own random thought here. Its hard to believe it’s September already with a few birthdays including my own. I have a hard time believing the number but grateful to be still kicking😂
