The Bag Lady

The art of disguise is necessary, it is often true

Hiding your feelings through adversity, sometimes remains futile

Persons closest to you will seek honesty, therefore, let them see.

“Your lyrics pathetic, your melody worthless and the presentation shoddy. Do you even think before you compose such a ballad? The only positive response will be from juvenile teenyboppers who don’t care what you’re saying and just want to hang on each other dancing to it. This whole generation of music is a casualty.”

PATHETIC
WORTHLESS

I generously topped my toothbrush

The minty paste always a must.

Donned makeup smoothing cream

That softly adheres like a dream.

Dressed in latest fashion strong

Algiknit clothes is “coming along”.

After lunch, a taste of ice cream

Maple flavor, indeed a dream

On my further research found it was so deemed—

And realized these products begin in a stream!

These smooth products use kelp to make them so.

With a few new startups, the industry will grow.

I read kelp is healthy and even thrives abundantly

But each time I eat ice cream, I shiver unconsciously.

milk grey skies grow impatient

“He is no John Travolta”, at least that was the scuttlebutt going around among the rest of the contestants. “This is no monkey business” they quarreled, “this should be taken more seriously!”

Mikey ignored them. All those ballet lessons would surely pay off. The contest prize was a new home in the last Brazil rainforest that accepted his kind. The other forests had been disappearing at a horribly quick rate and his home had been destroyed.

all people with that attitude were ignorant and uninformed, but Joe knew better. Joe felt Mike was just succumbing to his new neighbor’s influence. He and Joe had grown up together in a small town and now they were both family men in the city. Life was very different and trying to maintain basic moral attitudes you grew up with was difficult. Mike’s spoken references were slightly inflammatory and Joe decided to have a quiet conversation with Mike after everyone else left the party.

At this moment in time I consider my son-in -law a hero. I am lucky to have him in my life and my daughter’s. He is a hard working talented man and through some adversity he and my daughter have raised seven wonderful kids. His family is top priority and you can’t ask for better than that.

I’ll begin with WP as when I use the microphone to write a personal post like this one, parts just disappear. I should have screenshot my post because after I previewed this post, some of it just disappeared—AGAIN! 😖

(It just happened again-what I just wrote just disappeared.). So I’ll type and if you’re still reading, excuse my mistakes.

Back to point, Today is just a reminder of my stupidity when I signed up for a now apparent scam, putting in a dollar to a site that will probably end up costing me $300 in the long run in fraudulent charges. Go ahead put the big L on your forehead indicating me…

The frustration level on the old homestead is steadily increasing. Attempts to contact the bank on 800 or local number fail. Local doesn’t answer their phone or provide a message service. 800 number won’t accept my pin. My EFTs are not going through even though I was assured on the bank app they would. You can see how this is going to cause fees from those creditors and you can’t blame them. I think I may have to change banks and of course that causes a whole new set of pitas.

So what day is it anyway? I’ll refrain from any obscenity but you can fill in the blanks.
